Gold in your veins
Lightning in your eyes
The earth
And the moon
Make up your disguise
You are one with the earth
Thunder
And air
I can feel your sweet touch through the atmosphere

She stares out the window
Dreaming of much
She dreams of a lover
Dreams of his touch

Outside it is sunny
All shades of blue
Inside she sees gray
She's stuck in the gloom

She dreams of a lover
Dreams everyday
The dreams of another
Can't keep thoughts away

She goes to her bedroom
Swallows the pills
No longer thinking of paying the bills

She drifts off to sleep
Mind losing it's conscious
She dreams of a lover
But it no longer makes her nauseous

Six winters have passed and my ribs still crack when someone speaks your name.

I can still feel the burn of your fingertips grazing the flesh of my hipbones like silk

Your lips igniting every atom in my lips as they touched my own

The filthy words you whispered to me in the still of the night, for only my ears to hear

Six winters have passed and I also remember the day you abruptly left

Instead of burning touches you left indifferent  icy coldness

No longer atoms exploding within me but shards of glass, splitting me open

No longer filthy words but the painful truth that you had found someone else

Six winters have passed and I can still hear the pathetic drip of my voice begging you to stay

Only to have the door remain shut in my face.

Tangled bedsheets
and coveted whispers
in dingy hotel rooms

breathy laughs
and half stolen glances from across the room

you are in love and I am lonely
we will soon be each others doom.

The taste of you
on my teeth
is becoming the air I breathe
I wet my lips
I drink my tea
but the taste of you still makes me bleed
