To celebrate another's punishment. 

I ***** the tears and remove myself from the responsibility. 

His affliction toasted. 
****** with the cadence of your emptiness. 

Above and behind you. 
She pants and dances. 
Pointing to a staircase spilling over. 
An empty cup. 
Twisting humans. 

The lights glistening and the marble gleaming. 
The night haunting and the tenants moving. 

For all this to happen we perish. 

We press on. 

Banners of bruises and the bones broken. 

A neck brace removed with the blossoming tiara. 

Grow your hair for the cutting and the dyeing. 

Undress your shame and zip your spine closed. 
Your ***** exposed.
Your back broken. 

From the crumbling of two hearts your void is filled. 

Admit. 
The killer is not what we've seen. 
The last is not yet behind. 

The mothers sear with thoughts of love. 
The layout between the next time and this irreparable present. 

Your toes curl as your head falls back. 
Severed with steel and your face molten and mended. 

This bed with these hollow walls brought you leave. 

Believe me when I say this distance is what kills. 
If you crawl maybe in time you will learn. 
Maybe with pain you will grow. 

Under Death's watchful I weep and create myself clean. 
I clip my tail and scorch my bliss. 

And simply because this passed means you'll exist. 
Take your lies and lose your story. 
Starve and tell me you need more. 
I want you to admit. 

Contract and stare at the angry sky. 
Grieving with the stricken roots bled deep. 

Repeat and repeat for repetition's sake. 

Open your throat and flood the desert with your pity. 
Drown in your newfound ocean. 
Die for a sake beyond girders and fasteners.

The ember will burn forever. 
Forgotten. 
Alone and with nothing to shine upon.

Lungs for my freedom torn brothers I pray. 
God I mention and you join this curse. 

I have thoughts to make sure. 
To think I am overthinking. 
To say I love you. 

Became one flesh. 
From the bones of my other. 

And from one test we're wounded. 

Weep now between paychecks. 

Spill no tears and mix not against your wish. 
It is broken. 
A cycle broken. 

My teeth against steel. 

The promise of you and your burning. 

As I kneel alive. 
As I realize. 

My mouth open. 
With jaws hanging. 

In the second between one and two temples hollowed. 
Without consent. 

My funeral entire. 

From the purpose I scream. 

Your withering contact. 
My wrists closed cross threaded. 
And the time will prove mortality. 

Burn the fields and drown your firstborn. Wound the venom and pray. 

For Heaven I mention your name. 
How our lies have joined and brought us whole.

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?

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.

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.

The end.

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.
