Honey

Dark clouds
Heavily pregnant with the promise of rain
Decorate the sky above us 
Matching the storm in your eyes
Your smile evokes 
The very thunder in the sky
The lightning crackling under my skin
My fingertips pressed against 
The warmth of your chest 
Enveloped tightly in your arms
Until all of my broken pieces 
Become stitched together again
You grasp me by the waist 
and twirl me around 
And around 
I open my eyes to find myself 
Alone
The world still spinning
and spinning 
All around me
Silver-tongued fox
With honeyed promises of love
Oozing from your lips 
I greedily drank, and drank
Only to wake up in the morning
With a mouth full of ashes 
You promised me the world
And destroyed mine in return
The cold radiates 
From the place you used to lie
I still find myself sometimes
Twirling 
And twirling 
Until the street lights become a blur 
I dance upon the grave 
Of the woman I used to be 
Until laughter bubbles out of me
And echoes on the abandoned streets
Filling up the void 
You left behind
A new skin has grown 
Covering the the scars that lie 
In the places your hands used to rest 
I see you again 
And wait for my heart to stop
But you are unrecognizable to me 
Those dark hands no longer familiar
Those arms no longer my home 
Those lips no longer steal my breath
No longer drown me
Under the guise of a kiss
I am not yours anymore 
So don’t call me 
Honey
