Mannequin by Hannah Coates
You carved for yourself a place in my heart.
Like a worm slides inside an apple
seemingly unnoticed.
When we disappeared from each others lives,
That space became a hole.
Stitched together again with time and tears.
And now, as my heart beats faster,
the closer I get to you,
The stitches are being stretched.
This piece of my heart longs to be touched,
To have your lips press against mine,
and breathe new breath to bring it back to life.
The rest of my heart, stops.
Don't.
Not until he is ready,
to take your whole heart in his hands,
and treat it like the treasure it is,
shall he taste you again.
The poem above was composed by a dear friend, Hannah Coates, The FIRST guest writer ever at Eliminating Space! Enjoy this beautiful piece.

When I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I get four emails with the exact same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service? Kudos! outlook sign in
