dimmed in-candescent trails
streaming through thoughtlessness
grow old in cold knowledge
flutter and waste a shuttered taste
dreaming of wonder, lust
deeming trust a liars blunder

knowing only flowing undertow
bestow a bow upon the tower
lead the weak to seek another
pray for prey to bleed together

cower beneath the power, beseech
teach words that preach not leach
we'll reach the peak of leakage
peel back the streak of team credence

desensitize the lies and compromise
deny the times i tried to feel demise
your eyes guided me, blinded me
snatched vision from decision

pale walls involve crawling, sprawling
drawing proof to unroof this calling
pawning you to the coup of dawning
may we start again, this time, yawning?

amid the frozen earth

my contentedness suspended

fill me with your mirth

your martyrdom transcended

guarded from the wretched cold

held aloft within

through my lies your truth is told

your pleasure through my sin

one more time, I'll ask of you

take me to your bed

lose the hate inside your bones

give peace unto my head

I hope this reaches you well. My best wishes are upon you.
You have severed me completely. (Something) I thought you would (never do).
You achieved it, so precisely.
Without self-harm.
Emotion cannot describe.
Confusion I feel.
The hurt and obvious malice are thick.
The disregard and callousness are deep.
How does this make any sense?
Eight years of unrefined love.
Pure at its core, with crystalline solidarity
Weakened by erroneous friction, and
Exotic erosion.
I knew we’d make it through,
I thought.
In any stretch or strain of memory,
Any blip of conscious being
Any dream or nightmare or in-between
Any movement or word,
Mimed or heard
Any plain of existence,
Lying or in stance
I hope this reaches you well. My best wishes are upon you.
You have severed me completely. (Something) I thought you would (never do).

once more
to watch you sleep
eyelids fluttering
breaths deep and easy
this is the last time
you will lie in my bed
under my sheets
indenting my pillow
your flawless sunset hair
flowing like cascades
my fingertips tingle
above your angelic skin
this is the last time
with the sun
you will leave
and the moon
will not see your return
i will be alone soon
and you will be free

"Close call my dear. You almost won."

"It was never my intent to win. I only wanted to destroy you."




"Well then, you win."

I try
I stray
I may
I might
with existential
Epicurian delight
I do not fear God
and I do not fear death
I'll speak those words
until my very last breath
I believe in myself
and I believe in you
and that's all that you need
to truly be true
