A Triumphant Tragedy

We will float together then sink

And everyone who told me a pond stone was nothing but a nuisance to open toes and hard boiled heads was nothing but the devil to me

Everyone who sinks becomes the foundation of those who rise

I don't need you to die and hover above me like a cloudy day

Bad weather bad coffee

My hand trembles and this

Sweater never keeps me warm

The shiver within my soul is all I'm concerned about

the white ghosts that sits on your fingertips never did you any better

All I get is dark blood and broken teeth

Ten missed calls and kisses to wipe off the salty lust of my ever present agony

Anyone who tells me that I'm **** can answer to the moss that thanklessly sits on the rocks who patiently wait for time to throw off its holey shoes and let the earth fall silent to its restless murmur

You've done me wonders soft Angeles

My toes weave throughout your docile grasp

While my stoic heart rests soundly beneath your cushioned palms

Sweltering and oozing, going numb then returning

All beneath the cusp of the delicate curls that nature brushes with her fine pearl comb

Anyone who says I'm doomed, done, hopeless, out of luck, out of time, out of ideas

Can answer to their own empty plates

I'm not giving out any answers

So you can fill the black void of your own cackles and despair

That are better suited for the leaves that clench for dear life to the streets that have let them become a porridge of their own flakey guts

They smear across the roads indented forearms like the boogers and black eyeliner smeared across your swollen lips

Dying for a finger to press them shut

Give them mercy

let them fall into a bland line

That the ticking clock can rest upon until it meets the shallow ridges of your rib cage sorrows

I'm listening

Humming beneath the manic sound of your quivers and heaves

I'm listening

To your story book hidden in the corner of a library floor kindred bodies go to rest their skeleton key fingers

theyll place them atop books that became the coffins for bodies now swimming in worms and the *** of their volatile passion that little have the right to coat their throats with but slurp up greedily regardless

One of them will unlock your beautiful brain

And I will be there

Resting amongst the pile of your hair

Sweaty and battered

The sunshine gleams upon you and god isn't a fox trap around my ankles

He's the circles of your eyes

And I'm ready to feel better
