touch

do we have to touch?

are your words enough?

i feel my sense of self burning up

warmth ripples through my veins

under my skin

can you see it?

bubbling over

dripping down my throat

blood mixed with fire

hear me choke

liquid fills me up

im drowning

how do you breathe through desire?

how can you stand it?

do you feel it?

love pooling at your collarbones?

seeping into your bones?

stripping down bare

exposed

will you hold my organs in your hands

the crook of your neck a pillow

in the bed of my eternal sleep

will you disembowel my body

my heart in a box under your floorboards

do you hear me beating?

would you keep me close?

use me as compost for your next lover

ill let you feed on what's left of me

its all-consuming

the want

the need

the craving

if you swallow me down

then at least i have been held one last time

to be held

have you ever been held and realise that love is a curse

my hand feel your ribs

your sternum raising to my touch

the scars across your chest matching mine

don't let go

the oxygen makes me choke

just keep me safe

heartbeats softly intertwined

i can't breathe without you

my lungs bleed down your wrists

hold me close

set a fire in my ribcage to keep yourself warm

to be held

is to be loved

to be changed

to be touched

to let them mould your body to their embrace

skin like clay

piece by piece

taken apart and built anew

empty, the release

let me feel your love under my fingertips

my teeth on your skin

intertwined

dog fight

bark at me while i hold on

let me hold on

i don't know why i bite

i love you like a dog

whimpering when you leave me alone once more

blood dripping down my chin

i don't know why i bite

but your flesh tastes like honeysuckle and dreams

won't you let me taste once more?

let me open my gaping maw around your delicate neck

gasping for breath

who is the predator

and who is the prey

you seem to be enjoying this, my dear

you fell in love with the violence

bodies torn apart

shaped in to hearts

my canines pierce your skin

do you scream?

do you cry?

do you beg for more?

would you know the difference?

the way i adore you, a lead pipe breaks your jaw

the feeling is imancipating

you feel it rip through you

relish in this agony

for it is love

sacrifice yourself to the embrace

being seen

existence is the ultimate form of embarrassment

sorry to subject you to my self

sorry to be human in front of you

i forgot i was meant to keep this hidden

the mermaid and the sailor

i feel like

nothing changes

i don't improve

even still

the waves overtake me

im drowning my dear

but you don't breathe the same air as me

you've grown gills under here

in this ocean without oxygen

i see you trying

the kiss of life

but your mouth doesn't move the same as mine

and there's a space between us

your lungs are overflowing with love

but i can't take it in

my throat closes up

anaphylactic to your affection

(currently untitled)

do you ever feel like your soul is leaking out of every smile?

that your laugh shows the cracks in the mask

that the human inside is aching to come out

the edges of your mouth are worn down

your gums are raw from the blood of who you try to be

your teeth bite down, tear your heart out

leave only the remnants of a corpse

the decay is palpable

the rot on display

you are so fundamentally human, its terrifying

the first time i saw myself captured in a memory, i cried

tears fell and stained the photograph until my face became distorted once more

dappled with droplets of salt-addled stains

how can i hide behind something so tangible

do you feel understood yet?

put on display?

i think to be held is to be loved

to be dragged down back to earth

the moon gets lonely sometimes

but from here i can watch the meteors fall

and know that i am safe

how do i prepare for you?

we're losing oxygen and there's not much time

save yourself

one last line

one last life

make it count

its easier to fall than to be dragged out

the abyss is almost comforting

its cold embrace uncaring

but it's all ive ever known

please

its safe here

don't make me learn to breathe again

i don't know how to start

parasite

i think he broke me

i never knew i could feel like this

safe

content

held

warm

home

how can i be alone after this?

when ive found a new home in his chest

when he's hollowed me out and taken my ribs

can i take them back now?

im scared to trust you with my fragile bones

hollow inside

a swallow quivering under my heartbeats

lips to skin

teeth to flesh

an unusual softness to the pain

hold me as the world caves in and touch me as we hear the sounds of the outside closing in

i can't hear their screams through the cavity of your chest

a gruesome silence

remove my eyes and bind them

remove my lungs and breath them in

steal my oxygen so i can live inside you

until this garden of souls becomes overgrown

and the parasite is loved again

go on boy, bark

take away my thoughts

bite my neck

you'll be a good boy

won't you?

slackened jaw

what do i exist for

so collar me up

tie me down

make me beg

my bark is worse than my bite

would you tear me apart if i asked you to?

would you eat me up?

bloodied maw dripping with the entrails of my mind

dumbified

who thought a pretty boy like you would lose yourself so easily?

muzzled, controlled, devoured

pull on my leash

make me choke

make me bleed

constrict the last of my humanity

don't let me breathe

take away every piece of me

won't you do that for me, baby?

the first time i laughed / the first time i cried

the first time i laughed i felt the rupture through my throat

bile bubbling up, carbonated elation

choking on the euphoria

the first time i cried it was a release

a waterfall, overflowing emotions

until numbness washes over

undone and free

the first time i loved my chest ached for more

desperate, clawing fingers tearing through rib cages to find the perfect arteries to sink my teeth in to

the first time i felt loved it wasn't real

imaginary lifetimes flitting through my mind before they had time to exist

exposing too much of my skeleton

the bones poke out of my human skin

im trying my best here

but my disguise is wearing thin

a ship of theseus built from cartilage

viscera glues the planks together

evolving from wood to flesh

am i the same person i was before?

was i ever?

because all of these organs are not my own

how much of you can i make my own

this heart could never be home grown

replace me until there's nothing left

tear me apart until i crave the end

but the cycle repeats

a lesson can never be learned if there's no one left to consume it

swallow it down

redemption burns your throat from the inside out

pedestal

how do you feel loved

and not tear aware your flesh

from the sullying eyes of your sweetheart

how do you love me

with this rotten heart

arteries loosened from overuse

blood spilling out of broken seams

the mortifying ideal of being seen

of being known and loved for it

a revelation through touch

a reverence only you can uncover

i was made to be idolised

to be worshipped

perfection made of marble

but you found my imperfections

and loved me anyway

throughout these hallowed halls

once thought empty

ghosts of a past linger

as the future desperately claws at the crevices

begging to be let in

your voice hollows out my chest

a new space emerges

free from sin

from hate

from pain

i am he who remains

put me down

im scared for them to see me

because they'll know

they'll see it

in my body in my face in my soul

i can't hide myself when people care so much

i can't hide myself when they can see through my cracks

my hollows

the intricacies of a person

extracted and fermented into something new

something bitter

something broken

bruised flesh trying to be fixed

but changed

always changed

can you recognise me anymore?

can i recognise myself?

i can't be close to you

the rot will infect you

decaying your soul the same as mine

overcome by grief

a heart replaced by only hunger

to indulge

to consume

to reach the end

don't come any closer

my fangs are blunt from over use

my jaw cracks as i try to bite

but a dying animal always fights

wounds seep through your skin

sullied by my touch

tooth-scarred hands and broken lips

you've tried so hard

but dogs don't go to heaven, do they?

there is no salvation for a parasite like me

there is only mercy

there is only desolation

we are all alone in the end

maybe death shall welcome me like an old friend

forest of stars

the way your skin looks in the light

the way it becomes a galaxy

a warm-toned sky of constellations

there's an invulnerability to your touch

the comfort of being held

so hold me my dear

and dont let me go

your eyes are a deciduous tree

a fallen hero of decaying leaves

achilles of the forest

let me lace your combat boots to keep you safe

the ephemeral nature of falling in love mimics the heat death of my heart

the river styx in my veins

unbreakable yet fragile

an experience of contradictions

an effervescent breath

ive fallen into a nebula

a creation of vulnerability and the death of being alone

a metamorphosis of being loved by someone

into being loved by the self

the ghost of another

love is possession

you have taken all of me

swallowed me whole

shown my own self back to me

the ghost of another always with me

the comfort of never being alone

and the desolation of being known

consumed into you

to see myself through anothers eyes

anothers stomach

anothers heart

anothers soul

how do you drink the blood from my veins so delicately

as if the bitter taste is ambrosia

how do you tend to my bruises so softly

when i am the cause of your own tender flesh

i am swallowed by your breath

your lungs against mine

heart beating through my ribs

i hear them breaking

and i know that i am alive

your teeth marr my flesh one last time

am i enough for you yet?

ive given you the last remnants

of what once was

and what will be

tear away my skin

tear me limb from limb

and i am he who remains

having a boyfriend has made me understand the concept of a muse so much more

the way his back reflects light is like an oil painting, all warmth and love and light

his freckles are like constellations, i could connect them to see my whole world; they are the speckles of a young buck, the stars in the sky, the scattering of leaves on the forest floor

his eyes are the comfort of the earth, warm, like the hold of nature to the roots of an oak tree; they are the dappled light through leaves, the moth encased in amber; they are safety, they are home

his smile is unburdened, irrevocably and unabashedly expressing pure joy; his face following the ecstasy like the moon encircles the earth

his laugh is the feeling of listening to your favourite song for the first time, the way love feels in your chest, fluttering and flustering and free

his embrace is a warm blanket on a cold night, a warmth from the inside, heart replaces burning candle; the cocoon because metamorphosis; the way he holds me is like he'll never let go, i am his and i am intertwined

his touch is warmth of the sun after a storm, looking up after the fall, the inside of my ribs being made anew, the first time that you truly love yourself

i understand being taken now, because my heart has been, my breath, if it was returned it would never be the same because to be loved is to be changed

having a boyfriend has made me understand the concept of a muse so much more

love and death and all things beautiful

love is violence

and ive been bruised before

i would hide my heart if i knew how

stop the sounds coming out of my mouth

a lesson in apathy

don't get caught

don't let them hear your breathing

as your lungs fill up

im drowning again

feeling too much

how do i exist without your touch

your love

everybody dies sometime

life is a cycle of grieving

every breath we take

brings us closer to the end
