Description body div#devskin0 hr { }

when i was your lioness and
we ruled the world with
scattered light and
ephemeral dreams.

and
after all this time, i
still stay up late thinking of you,
pinching myself awake to keep the image of you in my head
until i hear you sing me to sleep.

we all have our demons, i was always yours.

waking up with bruises on my arms in an empty bed,
the devil inside of me whispers that it's not over yet, and
he pumps turbulence from my carved open heart into my saltwater blood
i feel every half-healed scar split op
en to bleed yet again.

wanting you is wanting the safety of the stars
when i'm already in free fall (into the grave).

my siren, i was born to die but you loved me into a phoenix.
