The one that always looks good.
Create my future
fold away my past.
Our child is growing
dying
and growing again.
The wind shakes us and numbs our skin.
Open the external shape.
Crawling out
untangled
bare
with scarred tissue and damaged heart.
Naked with yourself.
Don't strip me from my second body
I need four legs
four arms.
Don't leave us with our thoughts
our strangled necks
tired breathing.
Tied around each other with ribbons
roses and thorns.
They kiss acidic kisses
leaving burn marks.
Printing pages of each others love
and beauty.
Kiss me one more time
so I can savor your taste.

Our lips blend
bodies touch
hands find each other.
Lie down
your eyes drown me in blue
and lay your body onto mine.
I feel you breathe
your breath
your breath
I feel you breathe.

-and then you fade.
I lie alone.
