Before You...

I'm not sure how I feel about this but, being the pack-rat that I am, I couldn't throw it away. No, never that.

 wait! you
stand
be-
fore
me

wanting to
move
in-
to
me

lips par-
ted,
wet

shiny
with
ex-
pec-
ta-
tion

but how can
I
know

that you
dont
want
to

tear me
a-
part

like
they
did

I can't stand
one
more

taste of
b
it-
ter
life

it's no longer
novel
to
me

it's going to
take
more
this
time

for you to
move
in-
to
my
heart

so when you
part
your
lips

when you
greet
me
with

shiny
eyes
that
wait

for my
o-
pened
state

before I
arch
my
soul

for
you
please 

just know
if
you
love

me, and
if you
just
can't
then 

don't press
your
flesh

against
my
weak-
ness

be-
cause
here
I
am

vuln-
er-
a-
ble

shiny
wet
for
you

needing you
to
move
in
this
love

with
me.

The poem is top notch, as always, but I'm not sure the streamlined style does anything for it. (Unless I'm just not "getting" it).
