let's just put on our masks
and go to the masquerade
because we are so well equipped
for putting on a show

we can dance until midnight
until the clock strikes twelve
then we must reveal ourselves
and admit it was all faux

you hacked away at my insides
like a butcher with a knife
you just kept on going
until there was no sign of life

you watched me bleed out
onto the floor
and with a sinister smile
you enjoy the gore

i may have loved you
with a damaged mind
and blackened veins

but the kind of love i gave to you
never ever wanes

Do I only belong to early hours
and having meaningless connections
under disco ball reflections?

Would I have kept my next of kin
if I had managed to keep myself thin?

I am being carried into morning
by the spirits that do not live in hell
and if i pricked my finger would it even break the spell?

so here we are
just like we always said
you and your Schwarzenegger arms
finally wrapped around my head

my body is unfamiliar
with skin that’s so warm
you don’t have a single imperfection
even without the curtains drawn

you smell ******* fabulous
no literally Tom Ford’s “******* fabulous”
you want me as much as I want you
so it’s impossible to understand why we did abstinence

dropped me at back
in your private plated Audi
we kiss on a heated seat
as we turn the windows cloudy

you knew you had me
when you said “there’s something about you”
if we were a colour
we would both we blue

no watercolour **** about me
if they bottled me they’d sell me in Selfridges
can’t see through me like stained glass
but you might cut yourself on my edges

personality so bright you’ll need your shades on
maybe you were colourblind to my magic
and you will never ever be this cool
how tragic
Thomas Alan Jan 2022
there is nothing “really” about you
an empty vessel and a tearless face
and you were created a body
but they didn’t finish the soul
it’s my love that exists
at the bottom of the pretty lake
and you will never find roses
in that garden of mine
because i was never yours to take
i became nothing but a desire;
merely a dream that lives inside the forbidden fruit
so you poisoned my ecosystem
as you pricked yourself on the lonesome thorns
and in the end
you were nothing but a ****
that existed in me —
the eden
