pretty eyes

pretty eyes

my hands on your back

your hands in my hand on your back

head first, head down,

teeth on skin, my neck,

lace, black lines,

your face, my lips, white lines,

just a taste

your nails, my back, my shoulders,

pretty eyes, pretty eyes,

looking up at me,

and then back down, bite down

hold tight, hang on, take me

and keep coming

back for me

like a good girl

weightless

sometimes i want to crash my car

feel the gravity fall away

as roof becomes broken windows

kaleidoscope of weightless glass

time unbecoming of me

converting metal into flesh into starlight into dust

while the grass grows green under rust and flame

steps and doors

steps and doors

i don’t feel the way i want to

need to

used to

nor do i act the way i want to

need to

used to

i think i might be a goner

soul out there

somewhere

fighting

silent battles

a place and time

where there is no god

or structure

i collapse

much like buildings fall in

disrepair

the body becomes too much

too much

for frame to bear

the weight of standing

standing there

like steps and doors

high above a thousand windows

hundred floors

all reflecting

stained glass across an empty skyline

exactly as the light reflected

exactly as the light reflected

when i left from in there

that door

that room filled with despair

i had hollowed out

carved from rot

my own devices

teeth wanting to be sunk into something more

all I had were reminders

mirrors only showed me who i used to be

and i never knew who i was

exactly as the light reflected

but as i find myself in darkness

i only now wish to see

to feel bright

to be seen

and damn any spark that denies me

I love you

I do not know the feeling

quite the feeling

like you do.

I don’t think that I will ever understand

that disconnect.

unplug.

I am truly sorry,

my lovely, pretty girl,

for the loss and the pain

and the never-will-be, never-could-be, never was.

I will not compare, and it isn’t fair,

never would be.

but I love you, and I will be here, and I will care.

I hope this day brings reflection and peace, but if it is heavier, uneasy,

please know you always have my shoulder, and my heart, my soul, my dear.

pitter patter

there are days that feel like rain

and i’m reminded of you,

melancholy,

a word that used to rest upon my lips like a lingering kiss,

almost passionate sadness, a love for something i have not felt in quite some time—

the lust for a storm—

pitter patter on my window, darling,

crack the sky in two

the trees will dance to the rhythm, slowly,

and as will i with you.
