Fluorescent skin radiates out to me
        [I am mesmerized]
Hand reaches out, unbeknownst to the mind
        And I am caught
                    Between this world and Hell.

Purgatory
        Thrown back and forth
Pulsating with your rays
        And your eyes
                [God your eyes are like a hurricane…
                          And I want more…]

You are the sun
        Slowly passing out cancer
And I gathered an entire armful
        Took it unto me and breathed,
                        Breathed as if my heart was on fire
[And oh how I only wanted more]

I stared at you so long
That I went blind
          You and I, the only two left,
But as I tried to dance with you
                      I burned my fingertips,
                                Sucked them clean,
                And tried again.

I moved too close to you.
        It singed my lashes
                    Burned my toes,
                              Left every little hair on my measly form
                      Standing up in
Anticipation.
                [Add a heart attack to the cancer]

You pushed me back, again,
The last time, for now.
            I clawed my way forward
                    Grasping at your throat
            [Love me, I said. Need me.]
You laughed, cut off my fingers,
                      And I fell to cling to the face of the earth.
