a girl with a vein
cracked and embedded with gold
a boy with a chain
with barbs and wires, 2 years old

they met on the flanks
of lost love and
agony
and so they sank
in floods of lust and
entropy

we give all we have
but what we have is corrupted with
mad and sad and
jealousy and pain and
hate and love and
oh, the list goes on

i can't escape your grasp
and you can't live without mine
you're trapped in a long dead past
and i'm in the middle of losing my mind

we are two chemicals bonding
exploding
creating,
destroying.

these worldly pleasures are far too finite
the words come and go
with the love
i thought i had

i'll be there in a minute,
but in seconds, i'll have to go
with the love
we thought we made

you could hardly taste me
without holding your breath
it was not big enough
but it was enough to see
you are as unchanging as death.

resin and whiskey
caked on your entrails
do you see any better
when you're seeing double?

i've got holes in my skin
where your fingers like to play
reality did not differ much from what you dreamt
except this time you ran away
so, go.

do you know
i am going to leave you?
i'm in love with a dying man
i'm in love lying in the sand

we were ****** from the start

this isn't going to be very pretty
but
it'll be honest,
like me.

i have done everything i can
and so have you
but nothing that we do
is ever enough.

living in a past time
just to
pass the time
are we living
or just
reminiscing?

i can't make you love me
if you don't

the words tear their way through my head
day in and day out
but when it comes to speaking them,
my brain has gone dead,
as well as my mouth

so keep yours still
while i trail after you with all the kisses
you couldn't spare
my lips cold and tired of waiting
bones frigid with care.

i hope soon you'll see
the time and love you've wasted
chasing a phantom
