There, just there
the darkness
creeps and smoothes
over the lines
in her dress
the whites in my eyes
shimmer with expectation
she smiles
such fun
she says
strange times cometh
so much fun
just then
I remembered
words caught in
my throat
I reach down
to pluck them free
tossing them carelessly
over my shoulder
into the flames
that were
my footsteps
such bitter mistakes
left treading in my stead
she clicks her heels
and folds her arms
enough with regrets
enough with her drama
enough, just enough
if you just open your mouth
I think you'll find me
delicious
and if you stretch out your hands
to wear my gold
I'll burn my precious
into your soul
I opened my mouth
to pledge my love
but instead
I pleaded
save me from these things
that gnaw and weaken me
from the inside
save me from those thoughts
that seems so magnificent
but prove themselves
frail and cheaply garnished
save me, just save me
and I'll gladly save these tears
for the times you break my heart
she chews her gum and pops my confidence
pausing
to run her tongue over teeth glistening
is that how you truly feel?
or are you
just trying to sex me with your
cherry flavored words
I suppose it's a good thing for you
that I really dig cherry
you seem a little sick to me
but that's only now
and what is now?
close your eyes and come close
and let me
reach deep down there, yes there
I'll be gentle, but I will not be tame
I will take your weakness into my mouth
but I will not swallow
I'll spit out the shame
and savor the proof of your desire
and now
there were no longer any lines
and there wasn't a dress
I wanted to point out
that the way she played me
wasn't fair, no not at all
but I felt the flames
and I decided
I've had my fill of such follies
so I took her hand
and led her in the places
where there are no signs
I opened the doors to show
that I was not hollow inside
I burned away those things
I held precious
and filled the holes with her gold
to prove that she was mine
i whispered
I think I am falling
she kissed me gently
and turned my face
to look into my eyes
and said with a voice
that a goddess would fear
I think you're flying
isn't it fun, so much fun
strange, so strange
but it felt right
and I did not mind
when I forgot my name
