🎈

doped up on helium tokes,

Pavloving your highs with a symphonic orchestration

kissing apoplexy 

while under duress of feigned perfunctory demeanor

making your head spin off its axis

windswept eyelash awnings shadow a residual want...

pupil dilations remain unobtrusive,

a credit to your sideways glances.

you exchange muted lulls for the prettiest expressions,

but is the ugly truth that it isn't honest?

denied reassurance of squeezing hands,

opting for plunging knuckles into aortic valves

a heartbeat stimulant for a languid thoracis.

daunted by subsidiaries;

if I'm not the one you want,

dim the lights and play pretend

but don't risk splitting keratin by keeping what's not yours for five minutes more.
