Lust & 'Us'

We're just listening to the shatter
  of a thousand lonely hearts,
  breathing in the bitter taste
and sifting through the parts-


  baby we've been out here drowning
for so very long,
fading in the endless stream
  our battered lungs can whistle songs.


  humming to the throbbing of
the broken hearted sobs,
our fingertips keep drumming with

  the funeral marching mob



Eager to explore a stage where
  Blood loss is the dress,


  (meet me later in the dark-
use your talent to impress-)


Smiling as they amputate,
  you've never felt so fine,
they've tried to tell me easily

(that your love was never mine)

  Eyes were blind and sense was lost,


--it's a mask you hide behind,--

  we're fucked and forced to fuck ourselves,
*when lust and us are intertwined*



 

Author notes

well, I suppose this would be under the 'dark' category?

I wish I could have something happier for you, but unfortunately, things are not so good for me either. Hope it gets better though...

Dooooo it.

    Hmmm... I actually really liked this. Because it was just FULL of originality. And that's what really wins me over with poetry. I especially liked these lines:

    the broken hearted sobs,
    our fingertips keep drumming with

    Where did you come up with that?
