Chapter 5 - Touch Me Where I Vanish

Haiku 1 – Desire

Your name on my tonguetastes like something I shouldn't—which is why I stay.

Poem: "Midnight Distance"

Don't love me softly.I don't bloom that way.

Speak in silences.Touch like you've memorizedwhere I flinch.

Don't ask what I feel.Ask where I go when I leave mid-sentence.Ask what part of me you haven't touched yetthat still wants you anyway.

One-line Reflection:

I don't fall in love. I walk into it like a crime scene—gloved, silent, and already guilty.

Haiku 2 – Magnetic

You undress slowly—but your mind came off quicker.Now I want both bare.

Poem: "You Shouldn't Like This"

I make you nervous.You call it curiosity.But I know the look—when someone recognizes dangerand still leans in.

You shouldn't like this.You do anyway.That's not on me.That's your echo choosing mine.

One-line Reflection:

I don't want to own you. I want to be the reason you forget everyone else ever did.

Haiku 3 – Consent

You gave me your hand—but your eyes said "not all yet."So I waited. Still.

Poem: "Where You Hide"

Tell me where you keep the version of youno one else knows how to touch.

I won't steal it.I'll just sit beside ituntil it trusts me enough to breathe.

Haiku 4 – Obsession

You say you're over—yet I still find your breathingin the way I dream.

One-line Reflection:

Flirting with me isn't sweet. It's signing a contract in a language your heart doesn't know yet.
