decadence

like gold occluding arteries

you crawl into me,

gracious like a funereal moth

flying with her wings broken

-crushed like my heart

after i saw you for the first time.

you glow like a black diamond

your dark light reaches me

poisoning my brain

polluting the air in my aching lungs,

since i met you my dreams are bloody:

i long your flesh

my hands on your throat

stealing your soul

watching as life leaves your corpse

-rotting beauty

frail skin glistening in the night.

but you are far

like a demonic madonna

untouchable, untaintable

your eyes barely caress my body

it burns, like a thousand needles

salt on my wounds

maddening, tearing, poisoning

i love you

i want to own you

to be destroyed by your perfection

be mine. i beg you!
