I was the ocean and she was the moon; pulling me in and pushing me away.

will these
city lights still burn
my eyes after
i’m gone?
stars in their own right,
of our willdrowning out night but guiding
something, somehowgiving direction
however misguided
to those
finding comfort in false
constellations.
two arms and a heart-
what a beautiful trap,
what magnificent art!
are you sorry
are you sorry you ever saw me?
do you hate me
for promising i’d never hurt you
and lying?i’ve only shown you new ways to
hurt for the same old reasons
i’ve only made myself someone
you can’t really believe in.
love child of earth and blood
and purpling sky, with
eyes that need only glance
to pry
open doors that have long been
bolted shut.
those eyes
a mix of dirt and blood;
sway me into a
drunken stupor, consume me
with your cabernet eyes.
when did everything die?
when did flowers seep into the
dirt and birds become the sky?
when did the wind become still?
when did it all escape my mind?
when did it all go black and white?
i don’t know anything, it seems
inspiration meets me in my dreams
and dissolves in the light
of the sun.
i rolled a five
on the night skythe heavens say we’re tied
i’m tired
of playing with dicewho knows where we’ll land
tomorrow.
