an arrival awaited for months

the night strolled in
accumulating stars and anxiety
millions of dollars
we beg to pay you

they are intoxicated
stumbling over their thoughts
for only i could soberly enjoy a presence
as pure as yours

as your fingers aggravate your hair
and squeeze my heart til it bleeds
craters are created in your cheeks
showing me what i cannot have

an impossible man
gives me impossible words
until he can speak no more
and grows blind of my face

the warmth of the lights
is entrapped in two limes
freshly squeezed
saturating both your skin and mine

i choke on your love
denied of breath so i use yours
we become one
although you are unaware

my first tattoo
was your kiss on my lips
eternal yet fading
i was killed under your grasp

you'll smile when you see your words on my grave
