A-Y
and to think there was a time
before, when i
constantly
****** myself into thinking
each and every
*******
grandiose,
helium-filled lie existed beyond your
illustrated delusion

jaundice driven, I needed you like a
kidney stone.
lies planted,
messily
nested, the
open wounds
painfully festering

quit using me.
regarding a fragile
soul as a
tool
used, atoms feverishly
vibrating for a quick
wasted,
xanax head high.
yes I can finally see the letter

I cannot remember
the last time I emptied
the ash tray that sits in my lungs

I like the familiar
burning glow
deep inside me

It keeps me warm
when no one else
will.

I want your embrace,
a tight grip on my thighs
your hands
pushing into my back
pulling me closer

I know
the marks you leave on my body
would be so different
than those before you

I've been smoking about you,
been drinking about you
even thinking about you

This drag, that swig
I'm high off your laugh,
drunk off your words.

Sweet temperamental bliss,
I will never allow myself to taste you again.
Even through the sugar-coated blows
it took the shocking bitterness of my own blood,
collecting at the tip of my tongue
to realize this is not
the flavor of love.

A crater
similar to the moons'
Yet no where near
as grey
Your dimples
entrance me

Human hands are not *****
because they are covered in black,
no
they are ***** when covered in blood.
