density of petrichor
and the depth of my love
she nestles in the ***** sheets
like a broken baby dove

i look out at the darkness
the cold, hollow sound of empty cars
trailing by like my breath past my lips
and think, oh god

i miss the stars

her hair is pure indulgence
dark, pure, and sweet
it coils, like her name coils through my mind
and her eyes boil
with the effervescence
of burning ***
and raving teeth

and your oblivion kills me
i want to tell you
like an artist beats sound into a drum
i want to brand it into your face with searing gold
i want to scream it so loud i shatter before your feet

i love you
i love you
i love you

bitten nails
and numb hands
caress my own throat
i cannot breathe
through my screaming heart

runs in my veins
a dark moss
covering my eyes
with sinews and green
holds me in a chokehold
to blankets
and the floor
pulls tears from my eyes
restrains me
"they didn't want to hang out with you anyways"

i **** myself
yearning for you
for a love unrequited
has as much chance of survival
as a barren seed
on the dark side of the moon
