Thinking of you,
how we talk the day through;
consumed by the words you have to say
how you listen to every pain that has settled
to the surface of my flesh
that has become a polymer
which suffocated what was left.
Itching, burning, swelling—
can you feel what I have felt?
Won’t you restore
what was thought lost?
The stars are in your eyes,
alongside gold leaf
hiding in your mind,
I wish I could be surprised
how you were meant to be mine.
Though entropy could not separate us,
& as the universe continues to spread,
until not a single atom merged—
your voice will still be heard
even as all we once were
becomes fragmented
on the edges of outer space
growing further
and further apart…
yet in the vast darkness
you are still felt.
I am sorry
I have yet to look you in the eyes
to tell you…
exactly how I feel—
with your soul in my bones,
heart beating contently
in synchronicity.
Your inward & outward beauty,
how it cannibalizes me;
my darkest fetish
being consumed by you
eternally.
