I met you in the dark
Around one a.m.
You looked like a star that had just fallen
Ready to take my soul.
You got into my car,
Your aroma filled my head with
Lilacs and candle wicks.
Your eyes heavy set from the day,
As black as rare diamonds.
You embraced me and my heart sunk
Down to the depths of the ocean
Where no one knows what lies.
I felt like the air had vanished
And my lungs were crying out.
You kissed me
And my body began to rise
As if I were a ghost.
For I had to keep telling myself
"This must be real."
Your touch, your taste,
I felt as if I had turned into dust
And was flown over the world.
You liberated my soul,
Rather than destroying it.
All I can say,
Is I am happy you have returned to me.
For now I am no longer an empty shell,
I have become as light as air.

As flowing and beautiful as
waves on the shore,
their voices sweet like the birds
yet deadly as a tsunami.
In my mind,
I am a siren.
I belong to no one
devouring men as I see them.
My voice as sweet as symphonies,
I lure you in
waiting for my attack.
In a perfect world
I would be as deadly as mermaids
in the Greek tales.
I would rip you apart with my
melodic Debussy enchantment.
To be a mermaid,
strong and fearless.
I would not resemble
the head strong adolescent of Walt.
I would decorate the rocks on the shore
with withered bones.
Yet, my dreams of depredation
fall short.
For in my fairy tale,
you were the one to devour me,
spitting out my bones in front
of the world
and leaving me empty.
The beautiful song rapidly increases
as my heart begins to race.
You pull me in
my eyes turn the darkest shade of black.
I have received my fate
I am not the beautiful mythological creature
I am the foolish sailor.

When you said you didn't care,
My heart broke like glass creations on the shore
Where lightening had struck.
I've been walking around eggshells
for so long with you,
My feet started to bleed.
You took the wind from my lungs and
The rosey in my eyes.
When you told me you didn't care,
I realized who you were.
A crocodile disguised as a lily pad.
And I was prey to you,
You sought only to sink your teeth into my bones.
When you said you didn't care,
It was all for my protection.
You sought to protect Maleficent
By slaying the dragon.
I guess this is good,
For there is no longer passionate compunction.
Or any feeling at all.
When you told me you didn't care,
I repeated the phrase to myself
over and over again,
Until the words lost meaning.
I became careless around you,
You never liked the dark areas of me.
The lurking shadows,
The mindless tactics of reapportioned reality.
When you said you didn't care,
I realized I didn't either.

Somebody once told a mendacity
that all humans are linked by an invisible thread
and I'd like to think you and I are meant to be
but I'm a maladroit when it comes to these things.
I just wish I could taste your lips,
the lips that I've dreamt of
upon nights of no end.
This unrequited sensation is unlimited.
And when you look at me and smile
I melt into water,
slipping further into cracks
so you can't see the green and blue monsters that harbor in my soul like the sea,
they crash and bang for
you.
Like the way you play your drums,
beating lust into my brain.
I feel no doubt,
I don't even want to get closer to you.
You will rip me apart time and time again,
just like every other god among men.

If I could take every note of the harmony that is the universe, I would have an abundance of stars and with those stars, I would paint the night sky on your ceiling so you'd never have to live in the dark again and if you ever feel the darkness gripping your wrists, I will send every firefly to your window to kiss your scars as you sleep. so that every morning you could wake up feeling loved and if ever you do not feel loved I will send every lightening bolt to excite your heart and every ocean wave to embrace you with salty sweetness to warm you on those exceptionally chilly winter nights.
And if you ever feel alone, just know I will be there with every puff of cigarette smoke and with every bitter sip of expresso because I care for you more than my body and mind can show and if I cannot demonstrate to you the happiness you create in me, may the elements of this earth remind you how it feels to truly feel anything at all.
