sweaters keep me warm like hate these days

((work in progress))

to feel you is suicide
my dearly beloved
take with you my memories
of which you called dishonest
take with you my remains
the key and the lock
the anxiety and the tissues
cry a river to nowhere
watching your reflection
screaming to yourself
choking others
drowning with you by my side
to drink the water
to hydrate yourself

red paints the sky at the sight of you
projecting insecurities
on to the leaves of tress
blocking out the sun
you wear mentally ill like a bodysuit
prancing
upside down

I without you
walking off into the distance
like a marionette
controlled by jesus
attached by invisible strings
descending from the mythical heaven.

those who touch but wont allow be touched

Sr. Salme


resorting to which you had
never conjured up in ill thought and reckless abandonment
when the skies would drip like honey in our mouths
I smelt the the sea salt on your breath
felt the wings beneath the tiger's shoulder blade
hard metal body becoming safety from
monsters in sparkling suits
the leaves shuffling at our command
moonlight dancer nebula fornicator
