X-ray







X-ray , she can see through you 
She will always be the one you had but couldn’t get!

That one person that can get you out of bed with one text
 yet you can’t lie next to them

She warms all your nights with her presence, 
Just one smile , 
and your dream sequence is disrupted 
desire erupts from your chest like lava 
spreading heat all over your body ,
You break a sweat barely catching a breath 
Head and tail both up in awe !
Smiling stupid at your awkward position 
Fearing to loose what you already have

Her , 
your treasured obsession !
Your soul is her possession 
but her body’s not up for donation


Butterfly , love is always on the move 
moving on despite you 
Tsetse fly , the body aches when it bites you , 
Taenia , rotating in your insides like a gastric bomb
Covalent insights :“This atom wants to bond!”

Fond of the darkest chemistry jokes , 
Fate will pair you with latex for friction 
plastic emotions no notions of ions or electrons 
The only flow it knows is the currency! 
An ohm amply resisting your potency 
Flow or no flow you’re endlessly in latency 


Until you realize the jokes’ on you 
Thinking :
“It’s meant to be , you'll never get over her 
but you'll replace her with someone 
you are not afraid of losing....”

Choosing to live and let the rant die 
you bury your story in the ground 
along with the seeds you plant 
uncertainly hoping for rain to pour 
and baptize your field 

But until then you sit down 
sipping on your sour lemonade 
and watch the sun , like your love , 
dissipate in the shade 

Maybe that’s why it’s called settling down.
