your heart rocketing home how violence punctures punctuating your life sentence your heart stuttering in syllables metallic, never clean eulogizing your final smile laced with blood-dust blushing red backspaced into a thin line life downsized to photos deleted the clause of death everything becomes nothing us in this room tonight piercing like an arrow pinpointing tomorrow forever whisper forever in the dark, and in my dreams you do anything to keep the sentence going Comments are closed.
