fingertips against fingertips
nose against nose
lips against lips
tongue against tongue
heart against mine
rich and poor
we're all the same
broken but yet untamed.

it was the first time
i touched a star
it drained the life out of me
the life i never knew i had.

it was the second time
i lost you
saw your visage riding off a train
to somewhere rather inhumane
i felt colorless
and
nothing will ever be the same.

it was the third time
my lungs turned into dust
an epiphany hit me
the same day we felt each other's lust
eve bit the apple
but who knew there was a worm
under god's pomegranate words.

it was the fourth time
since the lapis floods never came
to wash away the asperous sand
that you left on my grainy shore
the shimmering waves envy the sun
like how they envy your trust.

it was the fifth time
you've told me you loved me
neither any of them i believe
as we sit in comfortable silence
watching purple giants
eat their ambrosia meal.

it was the sixth time
i said i'd never leave
and now i am only standing here
thinking i'm the angel in this street
and thou is the sinner to my heart
we're both sick
and perfect for one another
we fit like solved riddles
on a locked ancient gate
mummies grumble in jealousy
of our love.

and it's the seventh time
we're both saying goodbye
to everyone we ever cared for
as we lay down
on our draped catafalques
going to sleep.
