Hold Me Poem by Janine Alyssa Navarro

Stings like poison bereft of anecdote
Skies empty of warm clouds
Tasteless like rivers of not wine but mist
A warm body with a beat-less heart

Giddy of gravity at its weakest
Restless like fish out of water
Aching of a bullet through a red chest
Bleeding to feel blood on skin

Gone is a chance overrun with regret
Stabbed with truth of a piercing arrow
Blinded of nothing but unworthy
Bust in please to forever hold me
