#asphyxia
You've got my eyes.
Captured my heart.
As if a love deity chose you for me.
You always lie.
But I cover it up.
You always cry.
But I cover it up.
Your lips drip red with all the things you spew.
You've got my eyes.
Captured my heart.
As if all the stars in the sky pointed to you.
You always hide.
But I cover it up.
You're always blind.
But I cover it up.
Lungs filled to the brim with lies.
You've got my eyes.
Captured my heart.
My entire being is owned by you.
You always lie.
But I cover it up.
You always cry.
But I cover it up.
Choking on your lies, burning from the inside.

*You're that breath of fresh air
That i can't seem to take.*

Breathe in slow
enough to hear
his voice - ichor
dripping from beneath
his lips sewn
with incessant thoughts
of the looming
shadows that he sees
at night, with heavy
gasps
drawn deep within
his lungs, he dreams
he's awake

My thoughts stopped visiting my brain.
My imagination got lost somewhere in the infinity of my aloneness but I don't feel loneliness.
I'm a walking comatose and I feel so futile, so deterrent of myself.
But I guess these feelings are inevitable.
Maybe I'm too afraid to sit in a sail boat without a paddle and drift into the sea.
Maybe the circumspec of my cowardliness, has dived so deep into the depths of mind.
I don't feel alive, I don't feel alone,
I don't feel numb anymore.
I used to believe that pain was the God of life.
For if pain didn't exist, I wouldn't know what being alive meant.
Not even if it shrunk into a tiny razor blade and cut an entrance on scars or scabs on my body.
To rediscover past wounds and lessons learned.
Just to make me feel humility or little more human.
Maybe I'm just caught in between that moment before unconsciousness strikes.
When the lack of oxygen slowly expires.
As you gasp for air and grasp for something to breath life back into your soul again.

i.
forehead kisses;
flannel covered embraces.
ii.
funny how a such a simple act
made me so intoxicated, yet it seems natural.
iii.
the nature of these feelings has nothing to do with
butterflies in my stomach, but maybe a whole flock of birds.
iv.
I can feel my heartbeat in my throat, my face is flushed,
going faster than any hummingbirds, whether inside me, or in my head.
v.
so warm, so promising, so deadly--
fleeting moments like this make me wonder
why I bother trying to breathe around you.

Ah, now I remember.
It was in those rare moments when you say something different.
Words weave in and out of your lips
but your eyes have the freshly stitched smile
like that of a child
listening to their favorite bed-time story.
Satin slips from your mouth,
wrapping around the beating murmurs
below my necklace
triangle yantra of Kali,
under a lacy leopard bra,
beneath the tattooed deviant octopus,
and soothes the palpitations
to a comfortable pause.
We don't always need air to breathe.

I breathe you in.
I breathe you out, I breathe you in again.
You are my oxygen.
Without you is my end.
I breathe you out, I breathe you in.
I can't help it, I gotta breathe you in again.

Well He Was The Air
I Was Asphyxiated
We Were Better Off
