Language Words
I speak in sighs
Fake smiles
Bitten lips
Inappropriate quips
And admittedly this
Is not an easy
Language to follow
So I need
Someone
With tall emotional stature
So nothing I say
Goes over their
Head
They capture
Everything given
Driven
To understand
To decode
Decipher
The worried hands
Nervous laughter
The tendency
For me
To factor
Sex
Into goodnight
No morning
After
I speak with sharp teeth
The longer I
Feel the need
To escape
To remove myself
To be free
I need someone
Who sees
The future
I have pre planned
In my sleep
Anticipate my need
To hurt myself
In speech
On indefinite repeat
I need someone to be
Ready, aware, there
In the moment
Holding my gaze
And knowing
The things that I can't say
That my eyes
Always give away
I need someone to see
Me
To understand the things
I give
Are things I need
Things that I'll deny
Are things I need to eat
I speak with distractions
Subtle gentle actions
To make you forget
That I exist
Separate from this
Moment I offer
Open mouthed
And proffered
Submissive
So as to dismiss
The uncomfortable feelings
The unnatural
Stillness
Holding me here
Please notice
Proffer diagnosis
This sickness
This syndrome of
"Hand on the doorknob"
Living
Listen
I'm saying everything
Leaving it all on the floor
At your feet
I speak
In code
My own language
Space
Where words
Are missing
I need someone
Willing
To press their ear to door
And listen
I speak softly
Sign language
From a distance
And I
Know that I'm not easy
So I need someone
With vision
Clarity
To see me
To hear me
To understand
My wishes
My language
Is languid missive
I need someone
With time on their
Hands
To read me
I need
Someone
Who knows me
Without me
Even
Speaking
