The stars aren't as tasteful
       as I'd hoped they'd be,
You fickle moon,
You eclipse of a lover.

           Vinegar.  That's what
those cosmic light bulbs we
call stars taste like.          Raw
and savoring, bold & eccentric.
          Kissing summer on winter's lips
          The cheek of spring still stings from autumn's hand

And I'm marooned in this fine
                            red wine hour,
  nostalgic in the art of reading
          The hum of dragons pulse~
The whisper of the wolven breath,
                         This time around your blood
                                        was thinner than ice.
Twisting the tendrils of our thistled love
across my snowy throat,
            Crimson is so ******* beautiful
It was your job to swallow sunsets and it
was mine to throw up sunrises.           We
followed the commandments branded on
my cheeks.  
                         It was the only bible we had,
                         Because my scars were worth
                                                         "s­omething"

When the roof of the sky meets the jaw of
the sun, the teeth are the clouds & constellations.
I fed the world my spine because it was starving.
         chinking off marrow, and mouthfuls of my flesh,
Devour me.
                    And in my wake you shifted the lapis void,
                     forcing my eyes open as gold tears spilt

Streetlamps groaning at midnight,
will you watch the ravens with me at 3 a.m?
I'm not one for fate but,
          destiny is mine for the taking.
Bones wish they're bending,
     yet promise they're not breaking.
I bargained my soul and sins with Lupus,
and now I am his poet.
                       A daughter of aurora borealis,
                     buckets full of silver  sloshing admist
                           my eyes.
                      When I no longer love you,
                               it will be silent,
                                and tragic.
.
This one's for you,
my wolf girl.
I'm sorry that I am
the reason you're
suffering.

My song!
Grab my hand.

oops
excuse me
sorry
behind you
ouch ouch
sorry
Just on the way to the dancefloor, stranger
Get out of my path if you don't want to play
My glitter is your favorite color?
Thats a great line
Points for your poetry
And smiling at me with those eyes
Come, join me for drunkin twirls
No worries about your balance
No one is looking but me

oops
excuse me
I'm sorry
sorry
ouch ouch
Its fine, I'm fine
Sometimes you just step so sloppily
Green tumbler balancing on stilts
Distracted by your own wavy sparkle
Or is it our toxic delights
Blackouts and babysitting its fine but sobering
Just be mindful of my toes when you jump for joy
Already sore
Still bruised

What?
No!
Nothing, its silly
Nevermind, it's way too loud for you to hear me!

Just close your eyes and dance with me
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom!

Not sure how I feel about this. Just wrote this, took only 10 minutes so excuse its rough draftness.
