Dearest wildflower grinning
With powdered crooked teeth
And hair incandescent and strange
I write you this as though it were my last.
Follow me into the Holocene
And the night ghosts will not wither your grinning soul
Your blue eyes dance away
Your iris discoloured and grey
Never has indigo seemed so violent
And Auburn hair seem so opaque
And strong tongues seemed so silent.
During Berlin nights
And blanched London days
I'm forever burning in your flames.

I'm looking for a way to tell you that
you're the nicest abundance of chaos
I have ever known
and to write it is nice because
even if we still get some years left
you'll still read this
and know

Waxing, waning
bodies convulsing
humming and breathing
tracing, feeling
Tell me I'm beautiful
one more time
my face in your hands
let me breathe in the moonlight
Lay me beside you
tell me what's not true
lie to me
lie to me
love me like I love you
I can taste the guilt
that's hanging from your lips
I know the night-time love
in the morning won't exist
I know it's just frustration
I know that I'm not his
I was waxing in the moment
now I'm waning
unwanted

Drink up baby,
stay up all night
with the things you could do
you won't, but you might
the potential you'll be, that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
and forget all about
the pressures of days
do what I say
and I'll make you okay,
drive them away
the image is stuck in your head
The people you've been before
that you don't want around anymore
that push, and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up baby
look at the stars
I'll kiss you again
between the bars
where I'm seeing you there
with your hands in the air
waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time
and I'll make you mine
keep you apart
deep in my heart
separate from the rest
but I like you the best
keep the things you forgot
The people you've been before
that you don't want around anymore
that push, and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Breath hitched
neck kissed
mind switched
off
Body cold
legs fold
this feels
wrong
Clothes torn
mouths yawn
day dawns
you warn
Don't tell anyone
And I feel small

You don't know your own strength
I don't think
you don't know how my head went calm
when I heard your heartbeat plummeting through your chest
you don't know how safe I felt
to be wrapped up in your arms
or how happy
to be listening to your nonsensical, drug addled talk
you didn't feel the current, the electric
when the tips of your fingers met me
or the caution I took when moving closer into you
or the breath that hitched when your eyes met mine
you don't know your own strength
when it comes to me

Like the dregs of January snow
under February rain
or fruitless trees
I have come to die
I was not meant to go beyond
the end of Spring
for that was when love all withered
and life became long
I'd like to say I could survive
a summer's day alone
but it is more like being lost
somewhere cold
And the sun does not warm me
the sea does not calm me
I only dream of spring
and until all is ended
to that blossom stem I cling

Remember, remember
the fourth of May
when what felt like a year
only lasted a day
when the smoke and the honesty
tickled my neck
all the song in your laughter
I'll never forget
Remember embraces,
pacing the floor
'I love you too' before closing the door
knowing the world would all be put right
because we were both feeling together that night
Remember kisses at 3 in the morning
and the tightest of hugs through the loudest of yawning
feeling I'd hate to be anywhere else
than there
in the dark
just you and myself
Remember, remember
and don't forget me
when you're out in the world and there's so much to see
but remember that what you were seeing that day
was someone that said
it would all be okay

Letting go of you
was the hardest thing I've done
staying there was worse
