The silence pierces the skin like broken glass. The blood beads supur staining the cloth used tp clean the wound. It burns and wonders if it should have been bathed in cologne, as the stinging seems less painful than what he thinks he deserved.
The memory lingers in his thoughts before vanishing, twirling as the mist in the bathtub after expelling hoarse breaths.
Is it the answer of the unquestioned inquiry the shadow that floats behind your actions, rather than the quiet vibration of my lips murmuring your name?
What stares from the pool of warm water once you exhale desiring to be silent, when your fingers light aflame and lay trembling and burnt under the mound of the intersection, when the entangling pleasure strangles frenzied sighs from its depth?
