You — look fine On paper Clean lines No noise Everything holds But something slips Underneath Grinding Not syncing You ask for softer But your throat Does something else Names — wrong Timing off You don’t need kisses You want — something breaking In your mouth Heat Noise Words don’t hold You don’t need touch You want — lines Cut into signal Mapped wrong Somewhere you don’t go You don’t need pleasure You want — shaking Bones out of place Fault line Open Just to check Mirror holds you Still shape Still breath Still hands But inside Movement doesn’t match Too fast Too sharp Spilling sideways You say “gentle” But it fractures Every “maybe” Splits Doesn’t land You don’t need kisses You want — something breaking In your mouth Heat Noise Words don’t hold You don’t need touch You want — lines Cut into signal Mapped wrong Somewhere you don’t go You don’t need pleasure You want — shaking Bones out of place Fault line Open Just to check Say it — no Say it — again Doesn’t stay Doesn’t fix You were never one thing Long enough to hold You don’t need kisses You want — break You don’t need touch You want — mark You don’t need pleasure You want — proof You’re still here
