-
I dislike your prescence here, tampering with my furniture, moving around the chairs to see
-
You're standing underwater, your feet touching the rocky bottom, and your nose is only just submerged.
-
Out and about under heavy autumn skies with the sunset burning in on the insides of my eyes, and an ice cream
-
This book is suddenly weighty in my hand, feeling like flesh instead of paper, heavy like that,
-
I watch a vast enigmatic space, in twilight confusion, splendid
-
The tiny spider veins under your eyes are as beautiful as a fly's wings, translucent like that,
-
I am too drunk to be this angry. I'm not drunk enough to be this angry.
-
-
I do not touch you. And your smile is certainly reserved for me, I see it break like sunshine on
-
-
Hearts are things we scratch on the undersides of tables With compass points, in the school room,
-
I wish there was revenge, Something i could do to make you pay,
-
I cling motionless in static twilight,
-
To say that you make me want to die would be a horrible cliche,
-
The sun has drowned in twilight, Azure and violet streaks gutting the horizon
-
I am choking on yesterday's dreams, Their bright colours blind me.
-
Wrapped in red, pulse A fragile humming thing,
-
I'm the one on your arm, lingering for a touch, My fingers licking up your spine
-
Red wetness dripped onto my stained knees, Where I crouched in darkness,
-
Theres only so much sleep can erase, And this trip has been way too long
-
Such a gap, Such an unreachable, uncloseable,
-
My love, I watch you sleep, beautiful spider lashes Resting on your snowy cheek with their legs broken.
-
Your fingernails against my skin are Like the plastic edges of the credit cards
-
It’s as if this house has seen the plague, And all its memories had to be incinerated
-
When we lie like this together, in bed,
Your foot pressed against my own,
-
I cut myself, Nicked the vein,
-
I am grounded on this small island, It is my home, where I return, always
-
I eagerly pecked at the abundance of treats
Unsuspecting
-
I throw away
These handfuls of calories,
-
No knife blade Wept across my skin
-
They use the word 'damaged' Like I am some sort of cardboard box
-
I still laughed with you, Although your humour was as hard and dry
-
A fragment of your eye, chipped blue
Like a broken mosaic tile,
-
I wish that the words we say The words we really, really say
-
