cough on coffee leftovers

unchanged

holes in my teeth holes in my

face holes in my mind gaps like in between concrete walls holes

in my future black holes

in my atmosphere and no one makes me hate myself more than you do.

mind airtight lungs airtight

vacuum like i'm doomed

to kiss you, will you return it?
i thought you might.

news channels sleep while we're awake watching reruns your hand like a white shark swims around my shoulders possessively, you're

che guevara 'n i'm cuba, i've

fallen for another bloody revolution.

divine retribution is what you think you've been up to,

halo from the streetlight in your hair till rain ruins it all the same,

struggle to stay sane, the dragons that you've slain will always crawl right back with twice as many heads.

instead,

stay where you are on my couch with your mars coloured eyes rested on the screen listening to static like it's heavenly music,

keep it or lose it,

you've got my love.

i'm just trying to keep my dear head above

petrol coloured ocean of your adoration.

you've come to pull me from damnation, just to bring me to a different room

where we are doomed so prettily to rot

or sour like pickles in a jar

or fish, just where we are

is where we'll always be.

just you and me.

and sometimes the weather channel will chime in to let us thin

the content of the mind onto the silver light some other side of static, you and i are too

dramatic for this century.

just take a hit and smoke a joke and we'll be on our own again,

one thousand miles apart, and then

i wonder if you'll feel the dent

i left in your immortal soul.

enjoy sweet soil of your home, and rome

will never fall so long as you're its prince.

and i will try to rinse

you off my skin for good, or fill the holes you left with petty theft

of other people's time.

think me divine and love me earthly.

goodbye, forgive my crime, but you've asked of me to carry

too grand a weight

don't let me stay

too long, and do be gone

before i will get back.

let's be alone now. think it's fit,

to quit the game, to quit

while we're ahead.

let's sleep instead

one thousand miles away.

don't let me stay.
