Never last
I flatlined first, and then you followed.
One foot on hot iron,
the other true North.
Breathing silent beneath the
bent wire of hope.
Struck blind by ghosts.
Our eyes a solid obsidian.
Fixed destroyers.
Life released
by the solid
promise
of goodbye.
Black dots on blue skin.
Our love a masterpiece
of doubt.
Spun, counter clockwise.
Victorious over joy,
power over time
A hot wind took with it
what remained.
Dragging our bones
across cold stone.
Alone at midnight,
softened
by lust.
In this hour,
there will be
no other us.
