Black dress draped upon your floor

Shoes lost a long time ago

Lipstick, smudged upon your neck

Surrounded in passion's kiss

You stumble, trying to undress

As I get drunk on your whiskey lips

Exploring gently with warm fingertips

Setting a fire, we won't forget

Collapsing onto your bed

Soon to be drenched in sweat

Body aching, please don't stop

Lose ourselves in each other's pace

Wrapped in your embrace

Until the sky is lit with the morning's rays

Then the spell of the night is broken

Hangover headache mixed with regret

As you and I realize what we did

i built a grave

out of bedsheets

and buried you between-

tucking you in tight enough

to suffocate your childish giggles

desperately,

i placed your purple bike

in the basement

so like me,

it could collect dust

in solitude

i carried your old hobbies

to the fireplace

and watched them burn-

and i didn't speak

to your parents

about what i'd done

-time changes a person-

there is still a part of you

in my soul

but i know what is dead

cannot be revived

now i can't find the pieces of you

that i need

i do not feel alive

tore back

3:37 p.m.

24 hours of a

drunken dream

no shore

no horizon

but in full color

money

whores of every kind

instincts ignored yet tested

booze, food, booze, food

nap, booze, food, walking

carpets lit by losers in lights

struck by the visuals

the bare thought of

what if

-the dream that has kept

this town alive

I watch the asses in tight

skirts whisk past me

arms locked in the elbows

of cheesy men

hair product

biceps

shiny pants

the people flow through

the floors with such energy

past the old,

beaten down to

coins and leather

faces

feeding the machines

I walk the carpet drunk

biting down on

an overpriced cigar

and I have

to laugh

through the stupor

of us all.

Wrap me up in the peace and tranquillity of the darkened night. Shine unto me the light of a million stars.

Cast me no stone

No false tongue

No solitude.

Instead let us sew the seeds of love

In a fertile garden

Free of thorn.

And tie the red string of fate

Forever binding you to thee.

Empty cradle

Asleep in grave

Roses

Lilies

Rest in place

Curse the heavens

As we weep

Met with silence

As the angels sleep

Shield your eyes from the summers light

Fall on bended knee

Call out

Between the tear stains and the lost breath

Asking for answers and guidance

Met with only silence

You turn your back

The devil smiles

And takes your hand

Promising to ease the pain

But in truth

He is torturing you

And sucking your life away
