I wanna sip wine with you
Talk of nostalgia
spilling cherry blood
I want to cradle your collarbone
And kiss the stubble of your jaw
Whisper my hurt into the darkness
While you curl your arms around my waist and promise to never let go
I need you to promise
Or else
I fear I'll wither
Turning to dust in the wind
Being condemned to floatAnd so We get drunk cus we can't face ourselves
Only I'm in the mirror of your eyes
Our monsters have each other's faces
And I'm content in kissing them away
But you are more lyric than poem
And we are soulmates but not of the lover kind
So I cry into the fabric that smells like you
You go stoic but look at me eyes filled with an ocean
even at the bottom of a bottle I know I'm the only one you'll ever look at like that
I'm the only fire you'll bother putting out
So I waver between your sharp tongue and toxicity
The way a drug addict wavers between the high and the crash
Heaven and hell
I want to chip away your marble
To touch the silk underneath
Without losing your opulence
But to do so would crack our very foundation
Crumble years of tongue in cheek façade
Rot our vines we have so carefully intertwined
And darling I know better then to take a wrecking ball to dynasties just to marvel at the damageSo we sit with the music
Communicate with each rise and fall of our chest
I let this moment consume me
Let You consume me
Rose Color
And
Rose quartz
I hold on to the good
Pretend the bad, a Mirage
And this isn't to say I don't get cut by your shards draped elegantly in trauma
I do
But you know I too rub salt in your wounds
Sadistical merriment at my power
t o m a k e y o u b u r nAnd darling
This is why I stay
In war torn bedrooms
Why I sip wine with you
In infinite time loops
Forever repeating
Because we have always been and always will be
An elegant wreckage
