It gives me goosebumps
When you scream like that
Into space where words are
Acrobats
Who are you? Did you just
Whisper my name
As we watch a movie
(with the lights off)
Here we are.
Watching constellations on an old and broken couch
The hair on my neck is doing
Somersaults
Exhale heat has done a number
to my each passing thought.
You're killing me.
Do you know that you're killing me
With completeness
You lost your locket in the cushions
Making problems for the mailman
Years ago he knocked on the door.
We fall back as the film reaches the ******
coming back after a year and change of lying
It's been so long since I've held someone
Who held me back

God cursed us with a long cold winter
You'll find me warming my hands
Next to the fire
Or sleeping soundly at the bottom
Of this freezing lake

So make a change
trace the skin beneath my ear again
the black and fickle strands of hair
i flow face-down in the river of your
silver scent
the gentle grasp of your whisper
inhaling me and screams closer
the sun and moon of your lips and cheek
feeling whole the high never lasts
between the beats of your heart
I can feel the cracks
the film has reached it's ******
the movie star faker makes me want to laugh
love is forever but it never lasts
For M.
