I fold myself into the dark
Finding peace within the shadows
Only coming out at night

Hiding just beyond the moonlight
I’m with the stars, floating
I prefer to stay far away

You are a void, lost, I am too
New bodies never fix anything
We’ll be extinguished soon

Emptiness is permanent
Walk alone through every cycle of the moon
Only streetlights know my loneliness
krysbaietto Aug 2017
Brush of lips on my shoulder
Another one to hold me over
Lips on mine to seal the lie one last time.

Bruises hold the feeling, but they’ll fade too
Somber haunts down the stairwell, it’ll reverb through the speakers
On my drive home away from you

A lack of words stings me harder, it's been so long it grows past tense
Finding comfort in street lights
I'll keep running through campus until it makes sense.

How do I keep the parts of you I want and let go of the rest?
My blood is laced with infatuation
You’ll always be a splinter in my chest.

— The End —
