My eyes crack open
and my flesh is still hard
from the dream I was having
and your name falls from my mouth
like a prayer made of silk and sin
and my dead heart beats
once and twice
and bleeds at the cracks
and there's an echo in the abyss
where your love once raged
with the fury of a burning sky
painted with the colors of lust
dipped in the golden honey
made out of a stars blood
and an oceans  tear
and I can still feel the warmth
of the fire left behind
from every kiss
you every tattooed and bit
into the soul of my skin
and my whole body
is a burning effigy left hanging
on the cruel smile of the moon
that won't let me forget
how god ****** beautiful
your eyes use to glow
when you used to whisper my name
in slow syllables and long moans
as our bodies ******
on beds and floorboards
and carpets and couches
and over counters and coffe tables
and our hearts made love
far beyond the grace of heaven
and burned our names
in the secret corners of the universe
even the devil dare not go
and now all that is left
that I can do is pretend to love
and pray that forever
won't last as long
as you once promised
because without the sound
of your voice
or the touch of your love
I am nothing but a ghost
with a dead heart
waiting for his
broken fairy tale to end
