my Valentine, dressed halfway to Hell.
once we’re in, I’ll remember your face
and I’ll be a shadow you’ve never met
salivating teeth, trusted eyes
soaring in like a wildfire.
we’ll drive out to where
bodies are marred and buried
as they kick up storms of grief.
where clouds and rivers bend
where clouds and rivers blend
and we’ll watch those waves
from high above them
with fingers entwined while
shimmering ropes explore our arms.
long, darkened masses with
legs like soft homes.
and shining light amongst our figures
and stars like supernovas crashing
across the water’s edge
where leaves are like angels
where leaves are so tangled.
and Valentine, dressed halfway to Hell
once you’re in, I’ll remember your face
and I’ll be a killer you’ve never met
sharpened teeth, drinker’s eyes
soaring in like a wildfire.
we’ll be kissing still
in your silenced grave.
let us stare at clouds
from high above me
and maybe they’ll finally
make you feel Free.
maybe they’ll finally
make me feel Free.
