I Need to Feel.A Poem by Kala Benfield
I smoke these cigarettes
because they kiss me when you can't. I smoke this defectless smoke and taste a kind of freedom you only feel when you're above all else. I stay cold in the freezing, enthralled by the warmth of your body, it makes me lose feeling. I can speak in a beautiful tongue all night long, but these attractive words that I'm feeding your ears, wont tell the temperature of our fevers. A type of heat that makes my knees weak and my body ache as if being stung by a thousand bees. You give me the life that I need. You dehydrate the bugs that stop to feed. I chain the skeletons in my closet, and pierce this pretty tongue of mine, Chase down ever lie and have you buy it. I intoxicate every feeling right underneath your sheets, while we drink a bottle of poison, making my throat scream. I'll scar my name into your walls, so you'll forget yours, but never mine.
