ghost

things from my brain

[distantromantic]

The fawn, watches the dove

As it swoops and perches nearby

The dove notices the fawn; they see each other

The curious fawn takes a step closer

Her moves cautious and calculated

The bird doesn’t frighten

Moved by an ineffable feeling

A breeze sways the world around them

Neither seem to mind; they see each other.

[distantromantic]

forgive me if my greedy teeth sink into you, they chase the places that make them feel warm

[distantromantic]

unspoken

I saw right through your facade

fresh out of hell and searching for a new heaven

instead of respite you dragged me into your merciless fury

lulling us both into limbo

neither here nor there

unbridled forms floating through air

our sorrows drowned in corruption

until the walls caved in

you carried on

blissfully unaware

that the stars above me bleared in your absence

[distantromantic]

creases cling on like stragglers

in parts of my soul

that contorted along the intricate twists and turns

of yours

when they weaved their way around each other

twisted like tails of a rat king

a gruesome desire awoke in me

greedy yet forgiving

so, so, forgiving

[distantromantic]

my heart is bigger than words

spilling over the edge in a stream of restless smoke

lingering, enveloping my senses

ash hits the cobblestones

being trodden, trodden, until the path is clear once again

dawn breaks in melodic hues of fire

though my lips remain as cold as ice.

[distantromantic]

- feed your soul -

[distantromantic]

opioid -

take my heart, my body, my soul

inject me into your veins

watch every morsel of my being creep into your bloodstream, strike every nerve

savour the taste of my cruel intentions

pass the second hand high, make me fly with the weightlessness of my own blackened wings

come down but don’t leave

please don’t leave
