Heartache, Lauren David

Heartache

He hurtles toward you Like a high speed train running off the tracks Electrified Flashing and galloping with blistering speed Quite unexpected And his wave crashes down on you Exploding into infinitesimal shards of glass His microscopic crystals piercing your skin Intractable and relentless

She is progressive, systematic Sangfroid and cocky Her inky body slithers up your spine Leaching onto you Sucking you dry Paralyzing sensations with her venom She tests your limits Tampers with your boundaries And wonders what magnitude of Numbness You can endure
