I love you. Since I saw the cracks in your bookshelf, Your graceful hair intertwined with your shoulders, The way you throw your head back and laugh. If you are Juliet, I am death, And I wonder how the snake felt, Knowing he allowed Eve the apple. I should hold my forked tongue, For I know you would care for no, Walking nervous breakdown. Who could? But this agonized black mass, Writhing inside me, where my heart should be, Barely living, barely dying. Masquerading passion, good will. I just need you to shoot it.

The Dirt in Eden
I love you. Since I saw the cracks in your bookshelf, Your graceful hair intertwined with your shoulders, The way you throw your head back and laugh. If you are Juliet, I am death, And I wonder how the snake felt, Knowing he allowed Eve the apple. I should hold my forked tongue, For I know you would care for no, Walking nervous breakdown. Who could? But this agonized black mass, Writhing inside me, where my heart should be, Barely living, barely dying. Masquerading passion, good will. I just need you to shoot it.
