I can't always speak clearly, but
This is it. This is where my world ends, this is where it's all forgotten. This is the cliff, the upwards abyss. One step further, a word, a kiss, and I will be there at last. You can bring me there. You can lift me with a breath, shake me with vigor. Spin my vacant heart, the rattle will remind me of its lies. Sink your teeth into my skin and the tar will be caramel, the blood honey, every cut from now on a virtue.
But instead, you blink, and your smile fades
And those words, those liars
Are reflected in the teardrops
