jab at the moon
frame the shot
under
a perfectly manicured
golf course.

Take my hand
    Lead me to the black inferno in my heart
       Leave me there
         Don't come back
           Let me burn in your wrath
                         and
                       Lick the flames

Take me to a fresh Evergreen
        Kiss my breath
           Make sure you never kiss me again
              Let me revisit the dying leaves all alone
                           and
               Let me gnaw my lips to ******* blood
              But never let me taste you again

Swim with me in waters of plenty
         Just as our feet feel nothing
           Cup my face in your hands
             Tickle my cheek for one last time
                Break me with your gaze
                        Then swim away
                Let me try and recall the depths of your eyes
                    But never let me look into them again

Love me for a single moment
       Let me inhale your memory
                     and
                     Breathe in my masochism
       Let me gently fade away
                   and
                   Be shattered in the blowing wind
       Don't try and find me
            I will be far beyond your reach

Don't you dare look back
Just be my memory

When we grow older
and friendship blooms,
let that golden ring be
a shade of evergreen
and then we can say
"We didn't make us,
we were made for us."
