toxic co-dependency
a mangled, eight-limbed monster
two skins fused together
guns withdrawn from holsterssliced open palms
brothers bonded by their blood
hands unable to let go
but would they if they could?suffocating proximity
a stolen peep beneath the mask
eyes of molten idealism
an eruption designed to lastgrinning suicide pact
witnessed by a mourning moon
guns never half cocked
two sick hearts set to boomfuse ignited
by a fated gunpowder kiss
both triggers pulled
by pale blue poison lipsan infinite red zone
bystanders turned to dust
cities torn down
only emptiness come duskat the centre of it all
two eternally conjoined ghosts
arguing forevermore
about who loves who the most
