Catch and Release.
1 min readOct 4, 2024
Leave the hook in
I don’t want to play
Catch and release anymore.
I want to feel the hook
Go into me
Deeper than before
And stay lodged
under my skin
Nearer to my soul
Pain is the site
And if you go
The scar will be
The dimmed Half light
Of who you were to me
Stay and remain the pain I love
The pain I invite
The pain you incite
This pain is a muse
This pain is insight
The pain of losing
Your presence
Is far deeper than
Remaining hooked
So. Stay in my body
Longer.
Don’t go.
Of you remaining
Hooked.
Deeply intertwined
But with me,
Nonetheless.
I want the sharpest part
To pierce my soul
