claw marks across my chest.
i hadn't been 'home' in weeks.
i was being saved.
by holy rattlesnakes...or just a slender lover.
long limbs, encircling.
entangling.
hair and skin and the smell of a boys sheets....
i slept long hours in your bed while you worked,
black bathroom and a fat sack of cheeseburgers.
you saved me from myself for a few months.
made me laugh when i thought i couldn't.
said my name when i thought i was dead.
brought me back to life,
and made sure my heart was still beating.
you were surprising.
without you there would have been no walking away.
i loved long talks and movie nights...
when we could just smoke and talk and laugh....and laugh.
