Halfway
Nel Nash Sep 2013
As you die
I stain my body with your blood
As you die
Your tears become mine
As you die
I breathe your life
As I say goodbye to your flesh and hello to your skeleton
I won't let go
So they bury me with you
And I dig our way out of the dirt and mud and maggots
And hold your bones as we breathe life into our bodies
With each breath we take as one, you pulsate back to life as I shrivel away
I will give half my life to stay with you
I will glue your locket of hair to your skull so you feel pretty
I will shed my skin and give it to you
And as I die
I will be happy

Almost Too Much
Nel Nash Sep 2013
I want to lick your sweat
And bathe myself in your blood
I want to dig through the layers of skin and perfection and grab ahold of your heart and dig through your brain
I want you to grab my heart too
As we make each other come to life
As we pulsate in perfect rhythm together
As I step inside your body and you step inside mine
We will forever be
You and me
I want to swim between your toes and kiss your bones
I want you to rip me apart
I want to reveal your skeleton
That will make every breath worth taking
And every laugh line worth smiling for
The clicking of our teeth will be the most beautiful sound and on our wedding day I will pray that I will die before you
Because I may be independent
But you are not a choice for me
You are a need and a craving and warm sheets and a sunny beach
I want to lick your sweat
And bathe in your blood
I want to swim between your toes and kiss your bones
I want you to rip me apart
I want to reveal your skeleton

— The End —
