shiva vs. a lonely wooden tower

Filed under: Uncategorized — airshaft11 @ 8:39 pm

you’ve become the lines in my palms,

the parade of freckles across my chest.

an aching sensation wants me to burn but

I know you’ll cradle me as i forget what I’ve learned.

I feel your

quiet beating

of my run down heart

and your tugging of the corners on my lips.

for a while,

i started to understand that you would be the only one who would stay

when i tore my hair out.

but now I try to balance on your scars,

trying to keep sane, to keep it all the same

and you’re crying in the corner

trying to teach me how to love her,

how to mourn her,

all while I destroy her.
