If darkness is absolute,
then I will hold you forever.

My heart is beating so fast
that it's hard to tell how long it's been,
since the taste of our kiss
began to eat away at my lips.

My elbows are bruised
from leaning across the table,
trying to get a better look at you.

I love you, but you're filthy,
and I'd rather have you dead than crazy.

I want to feel you tremble beneath my skin,
and I want you to hum me a lullaby.

My phone broke
and my voice cracked,
there's no hope left for me.

We will listen, and cry together,
because we’re full of hesitation.
and you’re my inspiration.
