Die While Still Alive
I died that night
The night those fingers curled around me tight
I thought it was love
Belonging, even..
But it was just another time
Another night
…
A time I was used for something different
A victim of my choices

He said I love you
But now looking at it; I think it was the way my body moved
The way he liked
) . (
( )
That’s just who I was that night
I didn’t think I did anything different
He liked the little things about me
Good thing the detail slipped my clothes off nicely… …
I thought we were just talking
Apparently, I was flirting
I rushed ———————————
I’d never felt that way before
Electric… really..
I think he had a familiar feeling
Just a different girl the night before

I wish I’d left when he made a sly comment
But I liked it
I thought I needed it
The attention
The “love”
Maybe something new
Something different
A New addiction
Cause old ways were stale

I died not from his touch
But from the lack thereof
But when he had let go..
I said “I love
His mind said “I lust
Something I hoped not to feel before
Regret doesn't start at the downfall
It began where it started
[ All of it ]
And
Every
Little
Piece
Crevasse &=and
Gapping Space
In (between)
First time for everything
First time to rush —-
First time to love. <3
First time to try •••
First time to die while still alive….
