THREE WISHES
 May 2017 mateo
max
if i had three wishes
one of them
would be to take back
every single touch from you
that has laced my skin.
another one
would be to take back
every single word
that you whispered in my ear.
the final one
would be to forget
that i ever knew you,
and forget what you did to me.
but maybe i dont wish that
because, yes,
you ruined me,
but because of it
i wont let anyone else
do the same

I remember that it hurt, looking at her hurt.
They saw what she projected,
But I just saw her.
Maybe I just saw a prize within her.
Most people buy diamonds,
I'm more of a digger.
I'd give her my all
just to wake up bitter.
Shot after shot she knocked me down and still I chased her,
I fell in love with clear liquor.

Run faster
Maybe you could leave behind his kind face
Beat the pavement one step at a time
Maybe you can beat his kind face away
The cold gust of wind bites your skin
The way he nibbled your lower lip
The wind gently brushes your hair back
The way his hand did when he looked into your brown eyes
Your hands clench and sweat
Like when he pulled you close, and whispered
I love you
Your eyes begin to water
Remembering
That he was gone forever
Stop
Let your arms hang limp
Let your legs stop sweetheart
Stare at the trees towering above you
Reminding you of how small you are in this universe
Because somewhere that boy you love
He just wants you to stop, and enjoy the scenery
Because that boy understands how quickly
It
All
Disappears

you will drown, you will drown
you will drown
and i only like you for the taste
of blood in my mouth

you will drown me, you will drown me
you will drown me
and she sees it, too
the way you **** me under your skin

oh, darling, you're gonna burn
i'm already burning;
i think it's time you joined me,
searing sunlight smiles sparkling, laced

with plasma, ichor,
these white teeth take a bite
and i remember you're mortal
for the copper tang on my tongue

i only like you for the taste of blood in my mouth
i only like you for the taste of blood in my mouth
i only like you for the taste of...
there is no taste to describe the feeling of falling in love

i wish i could lie to myself better,
maybe it'd make me more convincing
when you tell me you love me
and i say i don't love you at all

I Will Love You

In the morning light,
If you’re not there,
The bed will be cold and depressed;
The coffee *** will sit silent,
The morning news will drone on.
And still, I will love you.
In the morning light,
If you’re not there,
The seas will drain,
And I will still drown in them.
The sky will collapse under its own weight,
And still, I will love you.

Life bids farewell
Leaves you alone
Welcome says Death
Welcomes you home

Sisters are they
Darkness and Light, so
Love both as Death
Loves you in Life

Sitting here alone
Empty mind by my side
Time at sequence
There is no difference

A burden feeling inside
No communication
With no forecast of life
Alone here I sit

Inception meaningless high
Perpetual feeling that ties
Aging day by day
Going the distance one last time

Levitated parallax flight
I come to find myself
With mirrors that reflect and lie
That won't see me in the inside

To my small Hearth His fire came—
And all my House aglow
Did fan and rock, with sudden light—
’Twas Sunrise—’twas the Sky—

Impanelled from no Summer brief—
With limit of Decay—
’Twas Noon—without the News of Night—
Nay, Nature, it was Day—
