Literature Text

watch me watching you,
locked gazes, like locked cellar doors,
"this is for my own good",
if i say it enough, you'll believe it,
like you believe in fate and insecurities.

i'm hearing the scars you wear so proudly,
carried harshly through your vocal cords,
lashing out with whips of contradictions,
"i just want you to be happy",
but i'm glad you're viciously stubborn.

lead me down the primrose path,
between unfaithful mirrors,
and that feeling of disaster lurking just out of eyesight.

it's hard to swallow your empty words,
on an empty stomach.

let me seep inside the chinks in your armour,
and infect you, behind enemy lines,
with the vampiric nature of my intimacy,
the curse of empathy.

destroy yourself with me inside,
then rise from the ashes.

you can't promise inspiration or invention,
but that doesn't stop you trying.

collect the aspirations of everyone you've ever cared about,
and play russian roulette with them,
kiss kiss, bang bang.
restrained chaos.
