Description
insomnia and
malnourishment
make me as brave as being
intoxicated

you ran
so far away not even
the ghosts of your
indiscretions can find you

demons like my fingernails,
memories entangled in your spine
bruising away the starlit nights
you would never deserve,
monsters like my skin pressed
closer than flesh and bone,
ghouls like my breath inflating your
lungs when you became too weak to
thrive on your own.

i refuse to make sense.

silence enfolds me
but it can never hold me
the way you did

i'm breathing underwater to
cleanse the filth-ridden
anamnesis from my lungs.
fluid traipsing through my veins
to poison the last unexpurgated
morsels of my being.

and all for want of you
