crinkled love notes litter the battlefield that had spread between us. and we are nothing now, nothing but ashes and stone. you spoke in a whisper too slurred to decipher and i swallowed words too ridiculous to comprehend. and papercuts line my throat from the nights i consumed all your lies, like a child riding some sick, suicidal carousel. and as it turns out, i’m delusional. lost and oh so terrified of the dark because there are ghosts, and they whisper to me, telling tales of lost boys with beautiful eyes and heavy smiles who want to be found (just once more.) and i know there were faults and there were breaks. but i swear we had each other at goodbye. because i’ve always been addicted to catastrophe; and you were just the beginning of my end.
