Description
with my head between my kneestrying to rid of you like hiccups
you've got a special hold on me
you've got me hostage
i'm so insecure about my feelings
feeling like you can't send them back to me
torturing the possibilities
of anything left between
us.
emotionally spent from the mood between my legs
so many people just read that line
& didn't know what to think...
with my head between my knees
trying to rid of you like hiccups
sleeping off this illness, and stitching back the seams
i'm still ready to burst open and spill it on the floor again
I could squeegee out this pillow like sponge
drain every salty drop off into my mattress
to feed the little mites that crawl within
you're like the ocean;
your tide will pull me in, and your storm will spit me out
drowning until I taste the sand in my mouth
sand always gives me hiccups...

I think you're absolutely amazing. This poem has such a great concept. I love how you concluded this with the last stanza. Simply excellent.
I've read this before but can't believe that I didn't take it properly.
