bad idea right?, ᴏʟɪᴠɪᴀ ʀᴏᴅʀɪɢᴏ, 00.53
you infuriate me, yet you captivate me.
do i love or hate how you are all i feel?
you liken me to a city whose walls have collapsed.
why did we love only after we were over,
only after i stopped calling you my lover?
phantom touch, tracing diamonds as i gasp.
i shudder, i quiver,
my heart is set asunder.
niagara, your tantalising whisper.
words are a luxury;
you're the sweetest lie i've ever been told,
painting my lonely, blue nights gold.
love is a false god; mirage altar embers,
for this is a december night i don't wish to remember.
