Cravings



In a collision of ecstasy

I smoke my flesh.

I leak the blood of another

and it’s nothing to me.

I crave the contact.

I crave the fluid.

And then I spill it to you

on the page

in my ink blotted stains

I spill.

As the sirens and vixens

call out my name

urging me to try their new drug.

I need a new addiction.

I long to be addicted.

I seek out an immediate pleasure

that I alone control.

I want to bleed and stain my world a crimson that only I can create.

The lights. The sounds.

I can feel your happiness and your worry running through

my veins. I feel you in this Irish air, taunting me almost

as if you’re here.

I fly. I spread my wings and you’re my wind. You’re in the lights

and in the sounds. I wear your identity around my neck,

and look towards somewhere over the rainbow.

This is where you lay, watching and waiting

for me to find my way without you here in this life anymore.

I miss your life

the energy you once left

lingering in space, is gone.

It is fluid now

as it brushes on my cheeks

it wipes away the sins

and tells me it’s okay to live.
