I remember

I know you
5 steps away
on the top shelf
alone.

I know you
4 steps away
calling out to me
wanting me.

I know you
3 steps away
Almost there
Wait for me

I know you
2 steps away
Faster
Needing

I know you
1 step away
the shiny metal
the smooth surface

I know you
The cold metal
on my hot hands

I know you
biting into my flesh
bringing fresh blood

I remember you
pain
