i kept you hidden in my bones--
a secret inside my bloodstream
with the thumpthumpthump
of this beating heart
acting as the only guide
through self-made gauntlets
of foreign feelings and whispered regrets.
eyes wide open,
blissfully blind to the world,
begging you to let go--
please:
touch my wrist.
feel my pulse fading.
pretend to understand
how shallow i’ve become.
see if you can honestly say
you’ll love me through the ruin
(after self-destruction is thrown in your face).
hell is here and now
for some of us,
and disintegrating morals are
the least of our troubles.
heartbeats slowed and weakened,
yet life clings to my flesh--
forbidding the frenzied
collapse
we’re both aching for
in this moment.
our hands were made for this,
linked together and holding on through goodbyes--
till limp fingers say more about the end
than mouths ever could.
