I am exhausted. I am defeated.
I am the ghost of a boy, a lover, a friend.
Twisted bodies on the tv, teach me to feel like I'm someone again. For when the lights go out nothing feels good, no one gets in. The shadows in the corner paint a portrait of her. Songs I hear down the street echo "No one's thinking of you".
Bury me, may I sleep, hollow bed, freezing sheets. Bury me.
There was white, it was captured in the bloom of my grinding teeth. It's including the mechanics that propel this vessel, this wreckage. I'm giving in to the ghost's in my cupboard's, I'm making barriers to surround my make, I'm dying in sombody else. I'm dying here, somebody help. Bury me.

Like wine

Words spill like wine, leaving stains in the backs of our minds. Pouring violence from our untoched lips into glasses that smashed like fireworks on the floor. Bags packed with iron memories & soaked in tears, with shaking hands & hearts overwhelmed by the fear of a life without each other. I don't know what I'll do without you. I don't know what I'll do. Gone are the days we called in sick just to stay at home in bed, just to steal it for ourselves, for us. Farewell.
Now I dream myself awake every night with a ghost scratching at my spine, & it whispers to me..
"He sleeps on your side of her bed".

Broken hands of love & war.
In Friday night desperation, I have broken myself.
Lost in what was lost.

I'm told this feeling won't last forever. Son, he said, "You gotta grow up soon". I'll make this feeling last forever.
You & I will last forever.

The essence of existing is a heavy burden & I find it hard to live in this condition. I miss you & you have moved on. Some feelings are growing out, while some grow stronger & it is so hard. It is so hard.
I will never forget you. I will never forget us.

Satellites

To me your eyes are satellites glowing in the dead of night, a smile like summer rain. As I am lost in midnight, you shine on bright, it's only in my dreams I call you mine.
Oh how far we have fallen, how far we have come to die like this. I have crawled through the dirt for the last time, but I still leave a light on for you. Oh how far we have fallen, how far we have come to give up like this. I'm exhausted. I'm defeated. But I still leave a light on for you.
I'll always leave a light on for you.
I drag regrets like anchors through the long & lonely nights that chase the days. Storm clouds stain the ceiling where we lay & lost ourselves in sheets & words that rust in the rain.
Tracing footsteps through backstreets searching for our remains, I have found nothing but my own faults & fractures. If only I wasn't me, & you weren't you, we could be perfect but I'm sick & you're tired, & it hurts but I understand. How can you love someone who hates them self? How can you live with someone who's barely alive? You cannot.
But I still leave a light on for you.
