sold as a set

i want to silence everything but you

you should be the only thing to bring me out of my half consciousness

you're like a spirit passing through me

energy in my flesh bone and tendons 

and i kiss your half of our necklace every time i put it under my shirt 

eating a hole through my ribcage 

hot boiling sugar candy

melding into my heart

though the other half sits in my jewelry box waiting

i know you feel it

i feel you too

going on and on and on

we should all just sit down

and think

think to ourselves about the time spent:
together

apart

together

apart

up
and down

and all over again
lips on mine

your mouth is like leather
keeping me warm
or, too fucking sweaty
smothering me in the heat of the world

never used to run so cold
your hands used to be the dead ones

guess we should both be
