"You're just like him"
she said to me once.

"Yes, I am"
I shouted back.

Today, I recall:
the days when we were kids
and we used to drink from the sky
and they told us the tales about the man
who lives in the field with his gun.

hi there,
i recently got lost in the four chambers
inside of your chest
and my god
what a mess it is that she has

"thank you"
pleasure.

"do accept?"
I decline.

on this day
every year
i count the seasons
since you disappeared
(it's 22 today, just like my age)

Your routine is so divine
I have it memorized
You have me mesmerized

Bite the rose, my dear.
Let's tango.
I hope your scars run as deep as mine.

it's been a while since I've felt
your breeze scrape at this empty cavity.
i mourn this loss every day,

but

congratulations,
you gave me the illing feeling,
that feeling I hate.

you gave me vertigo.

My sheets are cold
like the dawn,

I made another car accident.
This time,

Rage:
What’s the view like
from your throne?
Can you see me yet?
(I don’t think you ever saw me at all)

today I read a story about a man
with a br
oken heart.

I compared him to me

I tear apart the city streets
blow up sky scrapers
challenge the south easter to a battle
and fight concrete.

to feel like this
must be

the same way

I would still eat the sun for you
I would still swallow the ocean
to bring rain for you
(I know you like it better when the skies are grey)

I exhale fire
and my skin is emerald


I was destined to be great.

they are lurking
(behind shadows and on door knobs)
and following me
(to my bed room and into my bed)

I wrote something for you.

would you accept my words?
I promise you, they mean no harm.
if you need glasses, I will buy them for you.

together,
we were immortal.

never again
could I trust in this man made prophecy.

Fire!
Fire!
Fire!

I can't put it out.

i needed you to show me
the strength of mountains
i needed you to relinquish your fear

i needed you to believe
