when all else fades
when we end
i'll be in someone else's hands
this is what we'll always have
our mouths aligned
tasered to perfection,
i still keep forgetting how to love you.
your skin will still haunt mine,
ten years hence.
your love is loud, lost, angry
we tremble
with desperation
there is this terrible longing
I steal syllables
Off of your mouth
you've made me want
this depravity
honey, I can't let go
so I learn to surrender.
you feel like a lover
but with bad intentions.
we're both leftovers
of loves gone wrong
we only believe in separation.
you've taught me
to worship
to beg
to drown
like both of us are
born of sin.
our art won't save us,
yearning, won't too.
i'll love our scars
as if I don't already know
how it goes
when you've been ruined.
love, we're hurricanes
we bring catastrophe
our lips, bruised
all want and need
and hungry fingertips
our souls are asymptotes,
they come close,
but never touch.
but our bodies, have
forsaken the sun.
Love, our skins, don't want to part
And this all we need
For now,
All we need.
