Cursed child,
Whisper your sorrows
To unforgiving
Water and
Drain your tears

Wash the blood
And the dirt from your
Hands to purify
This pain and
Pacify your soul

i had a dream of us
aged like the finest wine,
one comes to the other
looking for the knowing glances
and careful smiles

underneath all of
the time we spent apart
lays a love so untouched
and so bright
it may blind us both

at the end of the
night my mind
falls back to you

fingers tracing a
shiny pink scar,
sealed memories from
a lifetime ago

dear cosmic wound,
achingly profound pain
twist the knife
and still, I will
beg you to stay

at the end of it all,
when the future can no longer
loom above us and our
softness returns, all we will have
is each other.

beneath a quiet sky we will
watch the world turn
and rejoice in glowing hearts,
still here.

You're gone, the stage
Is set for heartbreak
The world dims, my
Heart dulls. Or sharpens?

I’m sorry,
I’m always so cold.

Foaming frenzy, I find
Stillness in your memory
Quiet collusion with the
Moon and a shameful confession-
I will go wherever you go.

Heart humming beneath you,
Breath held against sharp edges
Threatening soft flesh.

Patient hands to test this
Daring dance between us
Oh, let’s just see
What happens
Before curtain call.

Twenty years I’ve lived and
Still, I feel like a kid

But you’re a woman
You certainly look
Like a woman

What hunger, great enough to
Stretch your skin, turn
Your insides out

With nowhere to hide, my
Eyes meet pavement, this
Smile sinks to stiffness
For the realization of
Bones only ornamental to
Your probing eyes

Oh, draining desire.
Oh, humanity.

Strange strange girl

Your silence makes you
Strange. Your strangeness makes
You forgotten. So,
Be good and
Be gone.
