Strangulation

I want to watch your lips turn blue,

paint elegies in your flesh with the

purple pumping of your native mind and

crystalline blue depths of your shattered sight.

 

I want to feel my love constrict your heart,

see the way my words dance beneath your skin

and the morse messages of ardor, true, displayed

in rigid bumps and sunken eyes.

 

I want to hear your raspy breaths go short,

constrict your airways with my flames and

steal your oxygen, slowly, how lovely, your

cries sound when you can't sigh my name.

 

I need to touch your icy soul with my

reaching grasp of molten hate, burn love notes

on your ribs of hollow promises and captive

thoughts I'd held so slightly, tightly, won't let go.
