starlight. starbright.
don't you forget to breathe tonight.
ivy climbs all up your arms in through your secrets out your metaphors.
you whisper unspeakables to me
as i lay restless
tossing
and
turning
tingling
and
tormented.
blossoms fierce. lilies scattered.
your skin is dark.
tinted green.
                    your green angel skin.
                                                    your soil black eyes.
deeper than memories
those charred remains of us...
the ashes that fell when the wind blew
your
thorn
jacket warding off affection.
the smoke dancing outsiders
"don't you get too close. don't you take me in."
you are the shadow that haunts me in my dreams.
                your green angel skin
                                                 brushing against mine
your dark silk voice
slipping across my mind.
i cannot seem to get away
from you.
you turn and look me in the the eye
the way you do.
you know exactly what you're doing to me.
the verdict of your vision
rolls in with the smoke storm
the products of your privilege.
these thoughts are wearing
on your thorn jacket.
your conviction is fading.
                     i lose myself
                                       in our convergence.
because you are my lily in the ash.
starlight. starbright.
please don't you leave me tonight.
