To a friend who needs this, from someone who's been there before. Snog him!

a week long damp eyelashes
drop-shaped wounds
passive passions
an emergency that transcends fears
call doubt and punctuations the culprit
a restless life
slippery sand
slippery tongues that wander
everywhere else
except
where they belong
like thumbs twiddle
idle worship
perfect sought
in the nothing
of emotions neglected
by actions expected
strapped still by apprehension

I often call doubt and punctuation culprits. Much depth here ... much insight. A masterful poem.
