caress (Patreon)

there's a difference

between a caress, to be held, 

and to be held too tight

i don't think you see it

you grasp and latch

too tight, i gasp

long ago, effortlessly

we brushed past each other

since then, it became a grip

now i find myself squeezed

leaking, running out, 

running empty

there was a difference, 

between your caress, 

and how you now hold tightly
