I hope it doesn't come down to
the washing of your sheets,
trying to forget the scent of me
and sweeping up lost strands
of my hair, so there's no reminder
I was ever there.

a beautiful collision

Two minds collide
under obsidian skies
filling the void
with a starry paradise.

winter

Winter will be wrapping hands
around warm coffee mugs,
and sharing cold, soft kisses
under fluffy comforters

worth

I wish I could paint
myself in gold,
giving you something
more worthy to hold.

a trade

I kiss your lips
and almost feel the pain
you've felt times before.

I'd trade my heart with yours,
but it's not so sturdy anymore.

cancer

Locked lips,
flicked ashes,
and intertwining fingers.

inhale, exhale
the deadly fumes

It's black lungs
and lovely hearts
we have consumed.

dead star

I was searching for light,
when I saw you shining bright.
Only to discover your admirable glow
had burnt out years ago.

— The End —
