Lease (deadlines 2)

im salivating in silence...
to simple visions of
what i can only sum up
to have been some beautiful violence.
a leased out romance,
two fistfulls of emotion,
and so many deep, dark alleys
filled wall to wall
with footsteps inspired by your absence.
im done
questioning all the motives.
im through
conducting my heart
to a rhythm
you were given
by somebody else.
its start and stop and repeat,
its fever-pitched on cold feet
its bitter more than it is sweet
and its oh so hazardous to my health.
