Part: DOUZE

We clashed back together and sparks flew. We were together with him. In a haze we sang in falsetto and danced across the piano. Lights flashed and love was concocted at high volumes. Triadic color schemes flooded the room and death was upon us. Blinded by white, we fall through the sky like a comet and we clash to the earth and break apart.

Re-bonded by broken bones we seal together in three steps. Star-flakes fall on our heads and chill us to the bone. Your cheeks are rosy and I feel petite in your presence. You struh-struh-strut like a pussy cat and play with my hair. The clock strikes seven and it's all luck from here on in. I miss your smile so I take it. I put it in a ziploc bag and bathed it in multiplicity.

Songs of fair ladies and bridges wrap around us and we're confused. Blue green laps at our feet and kisses my face when I kiss your feet. Your eyes are lovely, dark, and deep like the woods... golden tendrils fell around my dreams but they're banished to daisies.

You shine wonderful in the light.

I shine plaster.

You're healthy once more and pride beams from my flesh like dew. Purple hazes surround you and we fall again. My arms wrap around you simple-sleek and we melt again as the world stops once more. I'm jealous but I'm young and no one cares. It's platinum. And we exit in the present, undefeated.

Part: ONZE

I'm just the medicine.

With a needle in your eye and a bullet through your teeth, the faerie sparkles fall around you and you throw your head back to laugh but, nothing comes out. You got them from that blond girl, the one who you swam with to the moon. She's tarnished silver, but I'm gold.

Blued out, with a diamond-star halo, grandiloquent apathy is smeared across your lovely little face. there's serenity in your eyes and suh-suh-serendipity in your mind. A lie slips out and je regrette. You are pretty and I an poison. I want you, but I hide it. I keep it in the shadows away from you, away from him, but it shines through red on my face. I long to touch you, to hold your splendid frame in my hands and have you hold me tight. your bruises on my flesh, eating at my virtue [or at least what was left of it when you got to me]

He lets me wind my fingers in his hair and we trod on daisies. You're playing music in the background and it binds me to him. When we finally kiss goodnight, it's toxic and it leaves a sour-sick taste in my mouth. Your ravenesque hair falls down your shoulders and there's a few more greys from the last few weeks. He and I drink honey and wine on my bed and I dream of him, but you shade the edges and hold it up after teaching me everything I know. [Each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom...]

You dig your nails into my neck and rip down. It shreds my skin and dyes me red. Simple syrups drip between us and we spin. The red spatters on the ground and created spyrographic designs on the carpet.

You're sugared.

Your pillow is stained with tears and you swallow it.

You're leather and I am wind.

It's all water under the bridge but, you're drowning in it while I fight to save you from the current and swim at the same time. I look to the sky in greyscale and things reverse. Suddenly we're flying and the sky is under our feet. But, we burn up in the atmosphere and disintegrate into nothing. We rematerialize in retrospect and the blue surrounds our heads once more. It's sweet and sultry, oh so duh-duh-divine in my glass and on your lips.

Part: DIX

And when we part, a flame dies out. And everything goes black.

Oh, love-swell... in the salty breeze you waver and pixelate in roses. Your petals fall to the ground and shrivels into dust for me to press to my cheeks. The chemical reaction creates heat and it burns my throat and sears through my blood.The feeling is wild and addiction is instantaneous. Sprinkled on the snow are the juinper berries I left you you to follow your way back to your home in my heart. If all else fails, you may just follow the  thousand tiny birds holding me up by strings.

You're subzero and they plunge your body into heat, but you go into cuh-cuh-cardiac arrest and code in the garden. Things were very cold that year. Especially my shoulder. The ice cream may have done it, but the fire melted that and vaporized it into nothing. I do miss the flavor of your chest mingled with vanilla though. It was candy on my lips and powder on the moon.

Now I'm with him, but you're with me too. You don't like it, but my head hurts too much to care. Love, you vanish from my view but, it's not all black again. His light shines for me like a sun. It's warm against my cheeks and he took me. [from you] You tumble out into space buh-buh-backward and flail but eventually gravity will revers and pull you back to me, and it does. Such force, impales you into me and the marbles tore through the bag. It was chaos and we are nuts. Bitter-amber tastes linger on my tongue and salt falls down my cheek. Huddled in a ball, we wait and I die. The splendor in your eyes disappears and we're crushed under a curse. Slowly, oh so slowly, I bleed out and you bleed in.

The end of an era. We fall.

Part: NEUF

It was a coke-addicted rock star romance.

Part: HUIT

That circus tiger broke your heart and left you on the ground without a beat. And I bet you wish you didn't have to come crawling back, but I don't see it that way. You never did. It's worth it if all works like hyperspace. It makes it so hard for me to cuh-cuh-cuh-catch my breath, but it helps that it's winter and the solidification of oxygen guides me on my quest.

A love letter addressed to me slides up to my feet and the violet lettering draws my eye. I press the glue to my lips and trace my tongue across it, knowing that yours was the last thing to seal it. Tea and juice are waiting for me on the inside. A sheer blush powders my face and my eyes turn to glass. You say it's lovely, but dolls are only pretty on the outside. The Titanic is sinking on the inside and tragedies are unfolding faster than Shakespeare can flick his quill across the parchment.

The light plays on your eyelashes when you look down. Pressure is crushing your vuh-vuh-vertebrae and you can't see the brightside anymore. He came back and you don't like being pushed aside. Like a lost toy, you lay their limp on the floor watching your caretaker play on the bed with a new one bitterly... oh so bitterly.

God is an alcoholic and he drinks your blood like wine to give himself life. Thousands of birds reside in his beard and rise him up to sunlight. Maybe he'll never sleep again... maybe he'll melt like wax all over the grass and make it green forever under our feet. We're opaque and the world is translucent around us.

We're dipped in gold but a tarnish creeps at our feet and licks them like our servant.

I left a pile of irises on the coffee table. They're wilting but I don't think you'll mind. Their death is always the most interesting part of their beauty in your eyes anyway. I wonder if we'll ever meet again when we part on the Primrose Path... You're with them and I'm with him, but I'm turning left and you're coming up to a cliff's edge. I want to turn around to guide you back to suh-suh-safety but my feet are stuck in this direction. the world rotates beneath me and I end up on a mattress with another. He's lovely and I am lost. But, lest, found in a wrinkle in time... or is that just a ruffle in the sheet. Which ever, I can see you coming back over the horizon and I lay complacent in my new habitat. It is warm and you'll join me soon. The sky is rose over my head, and it's not even the afternoon.

Part: SEPT

Your heart starts skipping steps. The vuh-vuh-valiance in your voice is wavering and I know that theirs a tiny irregularity in your breathing. It's purity is tarnished around the corners and they're not so sharp. A comet flies across our heads and we both look up, colored astonished. When our eyes meet, pupils dilated, you collapse and my heart stuh-stuh-stops.

I healed you from the neck down. but you're still suh-suh-sick in the head... but that can be covered up by a daily dose of darvocet and oxycontin. The bottle sets off your eyes and goes with every occasion. Ruby red overflows your lips and I lap it up as it runs down your neck. Chained to your bed like Passion's prisoners, you lay between my legs, sheltered from them, from it, from everything.

Cobalt leaks from the sky and drowns everyone but us. Dead silent and you whisper all your secrets. All your silvery depressions rise to the surface and coat the moon. You fall apart, but I can tape you back together for now...

You tell me about all those times when you just wanted to kuh-kuh-kuh-kill yourself and you cover my eyes  and ears to protect me from the truth. But, I cover my own mouth. The lights are dim and your eyes are visible for miles.  can see them coming toward me like headlight and and I'm caught like a fawn. You come crashing into me and everything is clear for once, but not for long. Soon the past mixes with the future and everything is upside-down. Purple and orange cloud the water, but they're so pretty and it calls in the birds.

The sparks are extravagant.

they light us up and tear us down.

There's an albatross around your neck and silver blood on your fingers. You tried to kill me. You tried to take an innocent. But, it didn't work and now you have to suffer the consequences. They bleed all day  follow you, leaving a trail that chases you in the snow... the drip irregular patterns and you sip up a little more through your nose. Wide awake now, what's next? Flames lap at your feet and push you farther, faster. Like a shoestring dipped in gasoline lit ablaze. And you're blazing now, but so am I. And we lay awake listening to your breath because you've already taken mine away, you kiss my neck just like I've always liked.

Your eyes are bright enough to burn my skin.

Proceed with caution, baby.
