All I want to do is make love with my eyes,<\/p>\n
to the pages of dictionaries.<\/p>\n
Cum off of words with newfound meanings.<\/p>\n
Slowly rise and climb climaxes as I lick the tip of my finger to turn the page.<\/p>\n
The world stops spinning,<\/p>\n
I’m lost in the translation,<\/p>\n
caught in the rapture of finding the right words to fuck myself with.<\/p>\n
The pretty ones,<\/p>\n
the sweet nothings I chase after,<\/p>\n
When I should be looking for the raw and real ones,<\/p>\n
the ones that don’t hide themselves in multiple definitions,<\/p>\n
they are what they mean, and nothing else.<\/p>\n
And all along,<\/p>\n
I’ve been steady looking for you,<\/p>\n
For your native tongue,<\/p>\n
that speaks the same language as me.<\/p>\n
Reading the same page,<\/p>\n
hoping for a different ending,<\/p>\n
Yet, you never cease to surprise me.<\/p>\n
Evermore sorely disappointed,<\/p>\n
by your lack of clarification when you said all that you meant.<\/p>\n
So here I sit, with the phonograph of remembrance,<\/p>\n
replaying all the words you fucked me over with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
