_{bleed me dry and saturate my veins instead in awkward intimacy;
and liken my cowardly escapes to calculated retreats-
so you never have to write me off your list of guardian angels.

your breath liberates itself with distorted celerity.

you're made of barbed wire, but i just can't let go,
embracing you inside, it's slicing my organs into ribbons,
and diluting my gazes with irregular fantasies.
you're just a shimmering ghost of freudian aesthetics.

there's a thin line between low self-esteem and the apocalypse.

this stake you've driven through my heart is as much a part of me,
as the skeletons in my closet and your devil-may-care lips.

break me like a stallion,
and make me into your flattering mirror.

we're nothing if not defective, deceptive, defensive, definitive paragons of faith united against the destructive force of gravity,
with our path to hell illuminated and paved with unnecessary reflections.

we've learned to fight against the current,
eternally punished for being perfect negatives,
pit me against hunger, against lust, against destiny,
as long as we're not condemning humanity with our insecurities.}
