have you ever heard the saying "I poured my guts out to you" ?
although it is pretty dramatic, i find it to be especially accurate.
because what am i doing if not tearing my skin open when I lay on your chest.
what am i enacting, if not slowly pouring my organs out in front of you one by one, when you play with my hand so gently.
as your fingers dance across my knuckles I offer my stomach.
as your glide your nails through my hair I give my liver.
as your palm cups my face I dig out my kidneys.
what else can I say, when i tear my heart from its cavity and hold it out to you, other than, "I need you"
...
and what can I do when you leave?
when my innards lay where you once were, staining my sofa without a recipient.
when my heart sits cold in my palm, a lonely beat.
what other words are there?
