I stare as I
Watch the gentle rise
The gentle fall
The moment when
She struggles for air
She shakes with the high
Quite the lover
Less the other
More untwined
Twinned with the breeze
As she breathes me out
Breathes me in
I hold her in my arms
And keep her tight
I keep her safe
As her heart fails in my embrace
I let her fall through me
As rain in a flood
The dying girl
For the weak
I could live a thousand years
And I wouldn't be able to save
The words trickle from my mouth
In a honeyed whisper
"the world is a means to no end"

I don't want to be here
when the walls come crashing down
when our bed is mine again, when
even my pillow smells like me again
I don't want to be here
when my sheets are washed
when any remnant of our love, when
the creases are ironed of us
I don't want to be here
when your clothes are no longer yours
when they are tucked in my drawers,
instead of strewn on my floor
I don't want to be here
when happiness is a distant memory
when there is no one to smile at, when
I'm not woken up by you again.

I am Jack's broken heart
left poison, in my blood.
You had me from the start,
to love the way you did
The blood that courses in
is hot with blinded love
where you have left has been
an ache to hurt, remind of
-a black hole that is your touch
that made whole worlds vanish
swallowed my reason too much
rabbit holes, like Alice
I bleed to death for you
but still you do not come
Instead I'll rest my eyes tonight
and pray to god to kill sunlight
left poison, in my blood.

It wasn't just my breath you stole,
but my heart, it now belongs to you
I love your lips,
the way they stretch,
your teeth and the way you mess
Me up inside
so I can't think
Your sapphire eyes that make me
blink
the vacancy of your stare that makes me
think
that you're not here, so I
keep
you cold, and still lying next to me
and even though you cannot feel,
I know you like it, when I steal
a kiss from those
splendid lips
my warm hand, upon
your hips
and I wont apologise, wont say
"sorry"
I distinctly remember you saying
You'd love me
"over your dead body."
