heatwave

The heat hails down in waves
Circling curves
My tongue, your flesh
A means to suppress this loneliness
Your words echo with steel
I watch it slither through the concrete cracks
Our parts still attached, almost bolted in place
This town has seen better days
But we waste away in a concept to be content
This is all we need
Or so we pretend

The heat hails down in whispers
Solid drops on the windshield
While we fade for days
For another way to taste so alive
I watch the sorrow slowly fill the bottom of your eyes
Our time to come undone
In passion and terror the meter has run dry
Single strands of wanting twist into collide
Never quite satisfied

The heat hails down in contempt
Click click twitch our veins a torment mess
You throw yourself inside me when there’s only a few seconds left
I'm alone for you to take control and you bruise me in one quick strike
I’m not complaining, don’t get me wrong
I love the sound the silence makes when we come undone
But when the heat of the moment is gone I’m left to wonder
Are we really just trying to prove to the rest of the world that we’re still strong?

The heat hails down for days
Here the hurricane comes again
Out from the shadows of the room your arms extend
Into the torture our bodies intertwine
You look up with sutured eyes
And drink the heat like poison

  a terrific write... loved the title, it sucked me in right away. The first line continuity was really effective and your imagery is really powerful.
