you
in my dreams
always
in my sleep
never here
you are a flower I can't smell
the flower I picked

and when I got home, died
the one who made my life
you made me fly
while I watched you die
absorbing your illness

I am the water
that diluted your pain

rain, touch my skin
kiss me, softly
your silk burns
lie down next to me
speak what you see
it's your turn

silly
is the wind
to think
it may carry
leaves and branches
with such nothingness
leaving pieces
behind

a box of matches for one life
a match every year
to light the candles on your cake
the flame goes out
watch your life disintegrate

when the tide pulls you under,
and it will
remember who taught you how
to swim

I will eat you alive
I will swallow you whole
I will not hesitate
and I,
will laugh

emotions are tricky, little creatures
but they should always be
wild
