Worlds Parted

I need to scream into space

I want to disappear into the void of your mouth 

In the Black depth of your mind, it’s deadly quiet

Come rest your hand on my eyelids 

Cover me with silence and let my heart choke in slow hard beatings

“I can’t reach you”

There is no “us”

When will you find me here 

Drawing in the cold air

Exhaling clouds of white breath

It lingers, waiting for you

In a misty veil resting on a meadow

The careful murmur of little critters

The sleepy morning calls of birds

Lie down next to me

Let’s watch the day come

When the sun is up, it will eat our skin

Be still and let it take us

Be quiet while the world sing

Stay with me even when hurts

All yours

Catch a bird

Just to hear it flutter

Cup your hands around it’s tiny body 

Feel it struggle 

Put your arms around my broken heart 

Watch the poison pour out 

Stand in the acidic flame

Slow burning

Mesmerizing in its death dance

Licking your feet

Kissing your calves

As my heart implodes, maybe you’ll finally see 

What you filled me up with

Take it, take all of it

Inhale deeply

Starch, creeping, sickly sweet 

It’s all yours, it’s always been yours
