Blackbird Song (5)

I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away







[Jared]

I put my hands on her shoulders, so I could hold her, I knew that she probably wasn't thinking clearly, I swear, I just meant to hold her.

Being that close to her, I could feel how warm she was, her skin was so warm, and the moment my palm touched her face, to wipe those tears away, tears of shame, for which she had no reason to feel, I was lost.

One moment, I was telling myself that this is as far as it would go, that I wouldn't take advantage of her pain, I wouldn't do that to her. Even as I was making this promise to myself, I found those lips, those beautiful heart shaped lips, those lips that had offered what she couldn't say. She asked me. She wanted me. And I kissed her. I kissed her, and I lost myself.

I lost all my good intentions, I lost everything but the sweet taste of her, the silk of her hair under my hands, the strong beat of her heart.

I couldn't get enough of her. I could not get enough of her. I kissed her, I touched her, and it wasn't enough. She made forever seem like an instant.

What I wanted to say to her was "tell me, tell me how I can make it good for you, tell me what you need, so I can give it to you, I want to make it beautiful for you, I want to give you everything, anything, you're beautiful, you make me ache, you make me want, I can't get enough of you, I'm drowning in you."

I wanted to say those things. I wanted her to know just how beautiful she was, I wanted all that, but the only thing I could say was her name.





i held her hands so tight
'cause words don't come out right
and she sees things at night

me, i'm closer to the door
i don't get scared no more
but i don't know the score

if i could hold them in my hand
i'd make them understand












i'd do it if i could
i hope you know i would

i'd do it if i could
i hope you know i would

i'd do it if i could
i hope you know i would

i'd do it if i could
i hope you know i would

Sally you have some splainin' to do, where did you find Jared and how?

Travis said...

I get home from work, and I swear I'm not reading a single blog.

I'm gonna do some work on mine, I think, and then go to bed.

Then I see you've posted. Twice.

And now I'm at the end of this one, and I'm all lit up, and I want more. This is fucking EPIC, Sal. I love it.

Keep em coming.

Maryx said...

Wow. I'm a tiny bit speechless here. I just read all 5 'Blackbird' posts in one go. (I'm behind. I know. Don't remind me.) I couldn't help myself.

Who is Jared? Who is Jenna? And why didn't it work out?

Okay Okay I guess I'll have to wait like everyone else huh? =(

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS. It's so powerful.

The Dark Tower:
I bought him at Costco. He has no biological parents, and I have mad taste, yo. ;)

Travis:
You have no idea how much your comments mean to me. I keep writing this, and when I know you want to read it, that makes me post :)

Maryx:
Jared is this guy....
No, seriously, I'm working on explaining the characters, but thank you so much for reading it...and even more for liking it :)

Wow, Sal. This is beautiful! I thought that I'd get to as far as you'd written before I commented and I'm glad that I did.
This pulls you in and keeps you on your toes. I love the way that you're progressing, revealing a bit more with each post but still leaving us guessing at exactly what it is that happened between them.
Keep up the great work, Hun! I'm excited to read more!

I just read them all in one go.

I've got to tell you, I've never done the cocaine, but I have a feeling it's a bit like this: Each one takes me higher, until there's no more left. Now I'm crashing and need a fix.

Chop. Chop. Chop me another line, please.

Your descriptions are beautiful, gripping, and entirely unforgettable.

Annray:
Thank you so much for sticking with me on this story. It's consumed me for now. It really means a lot that you commented, also. Those comments make me want to keep sharing Jenna and Jared :)

OWO:
Well, that description is how I think of your writing. You make me feel, with your words. You've always been able to tell a fantastic story, but lately, I feel like I actually live it, simply by your magnificent writing.
