I'm not the way home reminds me
I waft through the world obtaining the ideals
Of unanimous prophecies
Spelling it as if it is so
He turns towards me and hands me the fine tip of a needle
open arms
Wide
Swings the words through catalytic loops
Soulmate
Forever
He says
Till the final throws of life come through my eyes
I wont breathe still youre mine
But I'm motionless
I freeze as the cracks take their form
The natural progression of ice melting
It signifies nothing
Nodding as the moonlight
Devours
I sit still for hours
Cigarette after cigarette
The thick chews of ginger candy
Wrappers clothing me
I'm the skin
Holding our bodies as they morph into one
As the paint fumes poison us
Rats tickling the walls
We lie
To ourselves
Above the sheets on the bed
I tell him I want to see the world
He perks
confused
"Aren't I your world?"

When I was 17 and I didnt know any better.
