Everything feels like it’s hanging
by some kind of delicate thread
wrapped around a well-kept secret
that everyone seems to admire the packaging of, but never dares to open the **** thing.
I would trust anyone
with my life,
before I trusted them
with feelings.
You play your notes
slow
like *******.  

Soft vibrations
push me to the edge of existence -
plummeting rapid
into the abyss,
stars scatter
around as I’m crashing,
waiting
to embrace me
and soften the fall;

Light iridescent reflects
a deep knowing:
That this is how we become
whole.
You were cut out for me.

Like diamonds from
a meteor spinning
in the galaxy’s depths.
But when we crashed
through the atmosphere
conjoined together
we harnessed a violence
that would burn down the earth.

So I cut you off from me.

And now we’ll float
through the ages
just shiny carbon and alien rock
in parallel lives
and misaligned space-time
entangled forever
by powers beyond us
until our very galaxy’s death.
i try to reach you through the aether
I’m
just
going
to
go
on
record
and
tell
the
whole
****
party
that
just
for
this
millisecond
I
feel
a
little
happy
!
I never really wanted to go
I’m still no better for it
Nothing happened in the way I wanted.
Coming to you from somewhere far and nuclear
this is a cry from the gut
that needs to be read in melody;
like a moonlight sonata:

Its’ fine. It’s okay; it’s my undoing anyway.
I wove counterfeit truths
with threads of convenience
till every last shred of dignity dried up.

I broke down
before dawn
before breakthrough
I saw shadows dry out in the sun.

I romanticised freedom
to the point of madness,
and burnt our palace to ash
out there in the lawn.

I may have pulled
the rug from beneath us
But you laid the broken
glass shards all along.

I tried to love someone else
but it isn’t working,
so I feel like smoking
while stalking your new girl like a hawk.

Happiness looks good on you
But I just don’t believe you.
Go ahead, carry on;
Just like you always do.

One day long overdue
You’ll find me at your door
asking what you meant by
‘’I’ll always be here for you’’
