I am kissing you again.
And ******* into jars again.
My deft eye calculates.
And the lazy one sleeps.

Goodbye.
My sweet little muse.

Was it not enough?
Or too much?
Tragedy.
So **** my mind.
Visit these waters and sing your chorus.
Our verse for the nights lasting now and then.
My darling, again bring your rails to the floor.
Pull my remains from the bottles.
Soothe my calloused hands. 

Lock up the oxygen. 
Leave your face behind. 
Stare at the sun deep and bring me to tears. 

Pull yourself back in my hold. 
Betray yourself. 
Be mine. 

Break the bond so false and forged. 
His gold dulls and his strength atrophied. 
I've beaten this distance again. 

Intonation, an easy display. 
With every limbless mile I crawl. 

There are dunes. And a home. 
A family to leave. 
And a promise to stay. 

So stay this time. 

Open your throat and feel me enter once more.
Tragedy.
Behold.
The cup is full my love.
My ribs are now held close.
With silk so tender and nameless.
And your lips newly plumped.
Your skin perfect finally.
Pore less.

Take these paper memories, these fragile moons, break them for our bed.
Our perfect rest. A final mistake. 
Fear for the future. The past is not to come. 

Forever leathered throats and close knit bones. 
Drink tonight. 
It is only a carton away. 
The death of your insecurities. 

You drive by and smell the rot. 
By the creek, the timbers never cured. 

Forget the trees lining your sunset. 
Drink. Allow your beach to rise as you fall. 
Refresh again. 

Someone else. 
Peel away the layers and remove your face from this haunting. 
Step outside into the night's cold brilliance. 

Scream. 
Allow yourself to wake. And pretend for a pence that this is it. This is light. 
With your back against the ceiling. 
And again my eternity, with your back against the quilt. 
Sweat and tremble, awake in you what stayed weak. 

Control emotion in the room, wait for the paint to dry. 
A cold abyss grown darker with these moments at work. 
These hollows of warmth. 

I'm directing this and you are arriving with sickness. 
Just a puzzle eternal now. 
A walk on the beach chasing sand. 
Waiting for dust. 

Scream.
Tragedy.
With his festered one ton heart. 

I hear it every night. 
In every eye I close. 

There's a bridge without an answer. 
There's a death to hide. 

Feel the hour of closing sores. 
The flesh is found to die. 

The fools flood the asphalt. 
Delivering their hearts over, into the abyss . 

Sleeping alone but fret not. 
There are none and the notes speed. 

Her hips closer. 
And his hair is thinning more. 

Every night with every white. 

Please, without an answer. 
Deliver me peace to drool alone. 

Against the shackles of youth. 
And promises. 

And everything.
Tragedy.
This is going to be a midnight night. 

With dreadful favoritism. 

With the rose of my prayers, I stray. 

Part away, you new love that could not.  

Love her. 

Melody, please the Fates. 

Ask away. 

Bring me to a shame forgotten.  

Go back. Get them back. 

The friends I held in such short quarts. 

The ones of supple innocence. 

The traps stooping to bring us fools into innocence. 

Please perform your interlude. 

Release every moment and place me on a blue altar. 

Whisper tonight. 

I've destroyed your creation. 

I missed and your plans are crumbling. 

Which is worse. 
To say they fell?

Or to tell you they are falling?

You love with me tonight. 

No more?
Tragedy.
Starting to focus. 
Using another's  strength. 
Converting a wrinkle's shadow into presence. 
I'm noticed. 
More so as working watches. 
This familiar city closes my eyes. 
Time is now kinder and kinder. 
Close your eyes beautiful. 
You've read every page. 
Skipping whatI read most. 

I swim in your sleep. 
Waking with flushed skin. 
Warm and with night's air included. 

You ask if I'm dreaming. 
With silence, your day begins. 

 Eyeshadow saved for these soiled days. 
The darkness above your eyes, convincing that I am the thief in your purse. 
Awake listening to all. 
Those before me, coming and going. 
And it feels to me, to be the correct way for this. 

I am told you have two hearts. 
One from before and one in your bed. 
Saved for later.
Tragedy.
