days eyes
It’s late over there, are you sleeping? I keep looking- darling I keep searching for you everywhere. Hours have passed yet I am wide awake. The only time I know you’re real is when sleep starts catching up to me; that’s when I feel you. I can sense your movement; white petals…

swimming in bottles
I find myself swimming in bottles often. Shots of amber, glass waters clear as raindrops- they’re not as sweet. I like when you’re bitter, when you are hard to swallow. Makes it feel as if you grab my throat and don’t let go. You love to hurt me and that’s why I love…
-
too far, you’re too far away
I was never good at math but I’ve calculated each and every second every minute that added up the further that you were away from me Do you count those hours hidden between us? You said it was six but it feels like eight it feels like days I wonder if…
-
pendulum
You are not looking for me you keep me on just a tight enough leash to tug on it if you so please
-
broken conversations
Your call wasn’t anywhere near a sirens it was pleading desperate It’s not time yet I tell you- you won’t listen It’s drawing nearer
-
melting calamus
These hands are tethered rope fastened feathers of yours smiling down on me You reach for my eyes crooked teeth a freckle placed upon my lips Counting, counting our life is measured by seconds, seven petals dropping Which one will be our last
-
unraveled
Is it possible- darling is it possible for this thread to disappear? How is it that this crimson burns obsidian, tearing hatred into our hearts. We are already miles apart. There is nothing left that could happen, yet why is it, we are straying further away from each other. I feel as if I’m…

bared luck
You couldn’t have taken my love not since it was given to you so you chose to strip me down instead You started with my eyes scratching them raw plucking skin between deft fingers My lips were next down the line of my nose a Cupid’s bow that made Eros hurl…

blanketed
Violin strings must have been embedded into your bones darling he could fine tune you better than any musician strip you down until nothing but raw strings were left just dust and termites leftover in your body
-
dangerous accomplices
It was thick passion blanketed over me and suffocating drowning- your hands smothering me with twisted words your lips strangling mine I tasted Hades on your tongue tendrils red like those eyes eyesEyes what a shame you should come to me when I need you the most
-
melted embrace
You look pretty when you’re melting away limbs shaking, bark twisted in saliva dripping down like icicles three petals and four thick pillars caging me in you are my prison my haven lips locked, flurried kisses spread upon my breast Down below my chest until I am molten, hazardous lava you leave me as…
-
stripped
I know not why you cloud my mind. You are an inconvenience. You hurt me. You greet me with hollowed eyes and crimson words- I almost thought you had lead on your tongue. Soot drips from your lips, charcoal and broken, gagging me wide open like a serpents mouth. You had not wanted…
-
terrors
It’s maddening the lengths I put away to give to you I gave you my soul I ripped out bits of my heart just to get it lodged into yours but you ignored it You ate those inklings of mass like it wasn’t anything to you
