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

similar spoilage

damp hay

stale pasta

cardboard out in the rain

dirty apartment

mold and mildew

at least theres something living here

at least somethings growing

even in the dark corners

for me i stay the same

stagnant

attracting mosquitos

cracked mug

lines black from infection

not of much use now is it

becoming happy (inexpensive)

walk alone sing alone have your lonely dance

douse yourself in dollar store perfume, smile because you love fake vanilla

be picky be cheap have your nasty moments

its whats makes us human, baby, bare your yellowing teeth in the mirror

pick up feathers, trinkets, lives left for the garbage

get dirty, get clean, dust off the unwanted and un-want to be dust

we're animals in societal shells trying to adapt for the dollar

bird bones blown over

sore teeth sore toes

scratched hands with the shaking

wet eyes red nose

from each end i am aching

fucking bullshit that pain is

drown out all the sameness

touch me touch me touch me take me down

condemn me strip me c4 to my bones

to smithereens, i'll surround
