Your lips were the edge of the world
I find myself
Forever falling

The anger
It steamed out of my mouth
As screams in the night

Silence is broken
But I needed her
She was my sanity

A bitter trial
Leaves the taste of grass
On the tip of my tongue

The earth will one day
Cleave herself in two
Not until then will I make my choice

I am foolish today
I know naught of tomorrow
But I hope she will make me wiser

You were melting
It made me wax
Like the moon
You were wick
And wicked
I could be nothing to you
But I was only yours

You said you were sorry
For not loving me the way you were supposed to
I told you it was okay
Because you had never really loved me at all

The angels are dripping gold from the sky
Shudders of timelessness resonating in the earth
The beat of wings at the foot of the eternal
Cold marbel beneath my tread
I kneel
This is awe
This is wonder
I have come undone
A thousands thoughts
Yet not one voiced
The choir fulfills the longing of my soul
The dreams I dreamt asleep
Hold no flicker of light to this euphoria I find awakened
I hide my face
I am not worthy
Still blessed through the length of my days
Wings covering me
But not my own
I am not my own
I am breathless
But find no complaint
My eyes drip silver
A metal moment
Nickel plated hands
Hush my cry
I grit my teeth
Like gravel beneath a heavy tread
Oh simple one
You have stars in your eyes
And I will never wake

A door is closed.
Oh there were years lived in your leaving

The mind goes
And the husk, it follows

Like the smoke, still stinging my eyes
And the coolness of the harvest air fresh upon my tongue
You fill my senses
As only a full moon can

Time.
She bids no words come forth
If my chest split open
Let my screams swallow me
Yet the Eternals
Would find shame in my humanity
For they have no part
In the drying of tears
Or bones that knock together

The number of days I have lived
As a foreigner in my own way
My own place
And the days I hold in my heart
That I could count upon one hand

What happens in our lives
And what changes us in our lives
Both a weight, and a measure, though neither sit upon the scale

The call in the night has fangs
She has sunk her teeth into me before,
I am soft
And my flesh is but an offering and a sacrifice
Still you bite the hand that feeds you
With your own fingers twisted together behind your back
Yet the clasps that contain my soul
You reach for them with your fingers
Sad you did not know the sun had warmed them
And now you will not touch me
For fear of being burned

You who have shared sheets and bread alike with me
Still you do not know what is the fire lighting in my belly
Yet you curse me for the flames on my tongue
All will be well
The weight will lift
With the fog in the morning
My mountains will sing me another hope
And I will bind it upon my chest
To be one with a promise
If it is broken
So it breaks me

These trials and tribilations
Have eaten my alive
They have devoured me
From the inside

And
When I showed up bleeding
To my date with the devil

He told me how beautiful I looked
But I spat in his face

And said, you have been burning much longer than I
It does your appearance no good

I stand at the door
And knock
But my nuckles as hopeless as the hands that guide them
Oh full moon
Bathe me in gentleness
That as you set
I will rise
To fill the emptiness
Just one more star in the sky

The rustle of leaves
Makes me restless
Sleep, you tell me, will soon be here
I say I cannot stay to wait
Running is my jacket
And leaving my footsteps
The door is swinging in the wind
I will follow the feathers the birds leave as they journey south
A way to go
Is a way made by those gone before

The clocks will toll
Ah, the midnight hour
My soul again
Will leech out my fingertips

I will trick my belly into thinking she is full
Just as I have fooled my heart

To hold hands with your mind
As time gave a kiss to your cheek
Everything
Even the beginning of the end of the world
It's just
-so cold
Yet we don't try to light fires
We just
-break hearts
Break ourselves
And try to walk around with casts around our chests
And gauze falling out our ears
Because people say things that make our eyes cry
But oh do they make our minds weep
-and wail
Somehow through all of this
-this everything
The "so much"
We are just so ****** empty
-so ******
So so empty
It eats us out from the core
To the husk of our words
Biting into the back of our throat
Just to get
- a taste
Of soul

Having a soul
And acting so ******* soulless
That's your favorite pastime
It really does
- pass time
Unfortunately its past time

My feet will walk me through the iron wrought gates
I'll lay in my own grave
My desperation lowering me into the earth

Finally.

Something to claim me
-hold me
It won't let go
