Burning.
I am burning
Into this horizon
That charts the Earth.


Fading.
I am fading
From thoughts
From dreams
The whole entire scheme.



Tonight I lay here,
With my heart split open
To you.
Once again
The bitter taste on my tongue lingers
Like the cheap ***** in the kitchen cabinets.





Your goodbyes were never satisfying.
Maybe because I wish it wasn't goodbye.
It never seemed like enough.
Only, it had to be.




Burning.
My soul is burning
Into minds renewed.
Tainting others views.
But being received with warm aching smiles.
And soft dewy kisses; like that of a child's.




Fading.
Your soul is fading
From my fingertips.
Drifting on the wind.
Broken ships stranded at sea.


Finally,
You
May
Leave.
