My post-mortem love story
Embrace me at my autopsy
Bleed me out, taxidermy
embalm my heart
And keep my teeth
Wear my blood
Memento me
I won't decompose if you say you love me
Kaitland May 23
I sold you for parts
But I kept all your teeth
You wouldn't know better
But I'm down on my knees
So be my fate, lover, blood sucker
Forgive me
Im your vampire

I've always wanted to write something beautiful
Dark enough to emblem the most  tragic story
A kiss on the crypt
Thoughts that spark and connect synapses like Christmas lights
To explain the way I work and maybe you as well
But I don't know how to write
Or make something beautiful
I am not or have ever been the hero
Weakness and need is the love I long
God I hope you are weaker than me
Becoming my own hostage and victim
Just me and the space in between
The brink of madness
Teadering the ledge
Hope is my downfall
I will not jump
It's only a short way down

The hardest part of life I’ve come to understand is realizing how much power and how little power you have. To change homes, feelings, people and the loss and longing of finding out things will not change back with you when you’ve found yourself far from home, alone, wishing so bad you had back what you threw away in pursuit of happiness, something better or unusual. The bitter taste of regret. You’ve dug your grave and now you will die in it. “I need you back” has the consistency of running water.

Love is wickedness
As the longer way home
Of death, of longing for feelings once known
Here and there but not again
Sideways, backwards, I toss in bed
Sorrow lit by sadness flame
Only but for love is to go insane

Passing strange
The people say
They peer a glance I look away
Ive missed the years
I greave today
What once a pleasure now a pain
Tumbling over my intent to stay
The past bleeds in today…..today
Crowded rooms and empty plates
Spinning off away….away
I thought id sway to rooms more safe
My Regrets move on I keep my pace
antiseptic, diagnosed & bound by bone
The richer seasons stay unknown

tap tap tap
Goes the raven
On the tomb stone in my mind
Awakens my torment if torments eyes go blind
“I walk from breakfast to madness”
And part way back  
Reciting her words as my chosen attack
Stalking death as death i seek
Though the dark lit vail I always peek
But bleeding scars on oceans cue
Times hands tick on avoiding you
To cheat the game is a tricky find
But Dying is the dish we all must try
