Is it bad that I like the way your fingertips shock my bare skin like a strike from some unearthly lightning cloud? I can't help but think with the clouds accenting your rock face that you would be the perfect cliff to jump off of forever. Is it the eighth deadly sin to crave all of your strung-out imperfections to the point that I bite off my own ten fingers while crying your name? Tell me, is it bad?

I can see your face in the stars and I'm sprinting through heaven's gates to get a taste of something that you can only read about in the books of old.
You reached deep into my heart and found a strong grip, then took hold.
When you spoke to me it was the voice of an angel whose throat was raw from screaming at me and smoking the pages of our story.
But I’ve read the Bible and I know that only through faith can I get a taste of your unholy glory.
I guess that’s why I stayed with you,
because your words may be harsh and your tone predatory.
But there’s something so euphoric about being stuck in your purgatory.
Your power is something I’ve gotten the chance to witness.
It’s something very sinister, something vicious.
You take my escape routes and burn the bridges.
I’ve felt your baptism and you’ve felt my forgiveness.
Your lips may conceal your sharp teeth but ah, they’re so delicious.
Your chest may be lacking a heart but it is full of  riches.
Your eyes are worthy of black cats and voodoo dolls, they’re superstitious.
You have the face of god and it's making me religious.

I want to write your name 1,000,000 times
on a chalkboard and then erase it and bang
the erasers and breath in the cloud and
suffocate ok?
actually I want to curbstomp you and lick
your blood off the cement and collect as many
of your teeth as I can and make a bracelet
                                              (I want to be your love, I want to make you cry)
actually I want to kiss every inch of your body kiss I mean bite
I want to tear you to shreds
actually I want to cut your chest open and crawl inside and
vibrate with your heartbeat and force you to hold me
                                     (I want you inside of me)
actually I want to call you out on a white lie in front of all your friends
                                                   (I want to be your only friend)
actually I want to read you conspiracy theories right before you go to sleep
and fill your dreams with paranoia
                                     (I want to kiss your eyelids)
actually I want to cut the brakes in your car and I want to be the one driving us
100 mph towards a cliff
actually I want to put bleach in your morning coffee and I want to force
you to drink it
actually I want to empty your bank account and live out my days alone
somewhere warm, alone
actually I want to give you all the pleasure in the world, all the pleasure a
human man could experience and then I want to castrate you
actually I want to tell you elaborate lies about my childhood
actually I want to write you books
actually I want to make you feel adored
actually I want to make up my mind about you
actually I want to paint your nails and cut your hands off
and use your fingers to display my ring collection
actually I want you to notice me   (please)

the ground is water and the heat is inside of us and I am a color of brightest intensity like a red splotch surrounded by shimmering gold and the walls are interesting but the ceiling moves so much more and everyone is together while we are here because we are here and the faces of people I know are not familiar but that is because I truly love them and the others who are with me are with me but I am alone because we are all singularly together and here we are and we are here and everything is so much and everyone is so much and everyone is everything.
