Mist

My face
..presses into your midst

and you surround me.


I inhale
..deep
and my chest expands as you become

a part of me.


My heart aches as you press me outward
In an effort to replace the things of no value

Attaching your essence to me
Lining the walls that contain you


You condense
..and drip; drip; drip

into my blood.


Cleansing
..every inch of my body

and you rise up.


You choke off the air I once breathed
As my throat swells and my chest burns

As my face presses deeper into you
And I breathe deeper of you


Lifting you
..further

to escape in tears of bliss.


Dripping
..and evaporating

into the mist that I press myself into.
