Dissolve Poem by Sarah Hardin

I promise not to break
just touch me-
Let the restraints be the reason
to defy your binds!

Just hold me once before I fall
away from this secret longing.

The obscurity hide between pages
that are left unread; a onesided love affair.

I've conjured up the meekest dreams,
I have traveling long enough behind you,
picking up some tossed aside word,
gorging myself on this fantasy.

So just once I will paint myself a new world,
where you dissolve,
where you are no longer the focus of
labourous hours of devotion.

You will be just a mere onlooker
smiling back at me as I wink into the crowd.
