We are the animal
That desired more
Than being an animal
I exist for your existence.
I alone, am your escape.
But I can't change you and I won't,
and you can't tell me that you don't
know what it feels like to be dead.

An apparition of what was,
and how you used to be
But will you ever know? Will I?
I can't wait around to see.

I feel you letting go-
slowly drifting out of time.
Surrendering such brilliance,
and putting love aside.

Darkness pulls down eyelids
like a weight tied to blinds.
I love you
I want your warmth
in the cold dark.
Please lay with me
*I
am
abandoned

he wants to fly
just as high as she does
he quivers in fear of
the grunts and stares
but he stands stoic
an amalgam of the men
they told him
he had to be
To try rush love, is to grasp at infatuation
Neither earnt or deserved.

To cheat beg and borrow
Or arouse a facade
By fault or by flight
Is neither right,
Or a right.

But to learn is to make,
To shape
To mold.
Create within hands and soul
Embrace.
                Capture.
                                Build.
Repeat
Bit of a change in style...
Spellbound by love guides us together.
We detoxify ourselves from all impurities.
We shed our skin only to expose the truth.
There is no warranty for immortality.
