Wither your wings go
Yet, forth you walk
To parting lips, blackened
Breath
Sheathing nervous impulse
Behind roiling haze
You were immortal, once
Gazing without seeing
A glass heart
Full of hope
Life flushed your veins gold
Sunk its teeth
Into warm pulse
Carried two sets
Of two strands
To a place, called home
But fear
Etched its make
Into the hollow of your soul
Creasing aspirations
Careless in their birth
And growth
Lying, in a lull
You flicker through
Replays
Fingers lacing
Soft wake,
Soft skin,
Immeasurable

The closer you get, the easier I can see you for what you are
And it is something I do not like
I do not want to know your kind
Before I knew you
We were untouched by each other
And you could never have moved me
Through joy, anger, and fear
But life blossomed when you arrived
And brought such warmth
Then you discovered the real me, as I discovered the real you
I remember so many good times
That will stick with me
But I’m not sure if I want you to
