We're creatures of dusk. Creatures of dawn with our skin embedded with snowflakes. Your face perfected so you don't melt deep in your core under all the pressure. There are crows with necks as broken as all of your promises lying in your collar bones. Secrets kept in your lungs. Taking up so much space and rotting so completely the doctors have called them tumors. I fell in love with a knight who collects kisses and shared beds with our kind. My ways of excitement got old. So he went in search of your ice covered lungs, skin being eaten alive like his. You weren't ensnared on his sharp teeth like I was. He chewed me up, but on the attempt to spit me out my hood got caught on his canine teeth. I got lost in the woods. Found the carcass of a fox while he got lost in your purple hair and your firework display burned into his memory. It started off me disliking you. Then your French Angelfish looks that caught his attention attracted mine.   With your whispers in my   ear, finger twisted bridges,   connecting a world I never   thought would of existed.   Planting seeds on my lips,   watering them with your   spit, I can't stay away. I burn like a wildfire and you pop like a fire ******* Dusk and dawn being two different worlds tied together like our tongues.   My knight has a noose around   my neck as I jump off   a cliff for you.    But for right now we    exist like a Mayan civilization.    Knowledge never touching    the present, but brushing it.    So great it's been forbidden. But us creatures you see, our blood runs backwards and our eyes dilate at the scent of danger.   Adrenaline, our ******   IV's pumping it into our   artery's. We've never been the kind for reading warning signs.    We sway on tight ropes    giggling at our lost balance. Forbidden isn't in our vocabulary, our two different worlds touch.    A supernova in the twilight.    We are an astronomers dream.    Take me to Mars.    I'll teach you how to moan    "Astrid" so that Pluto can hear    the echo of dawn and dusk    colliding like the whole nation felt    the twin towers falling.

Dawn and Dusk
We're creatures of dusk. Creatures of dawn with our skin embedded with snowflakes. Your face perfected so you don't melt deep in your core under all the pressure. There are crows with necks as broken as all of your promises lying in your collar bones. Secrets kept in your lungs. Taking up so much space and rotting so completely the doctors have called them tumors. I fell in love with a knight who collects kisses and shared beds with our kind. My ways of excitement got old. So he went in search of your ice covered lungs, skin being eaten alive like his. You weren't ensnared on his sharp teeth like I was.

Ugh. She's so beautiful but she's in love with someone else.
