monsters in his driveway

this war will only be won once you slaughter the inches between us

to feel your hands in my hair and carving paths in my back is to know peace

oh dear

you did not teach me to love

you shot me in the chest with the love i deserved

the blood runs blue over my wandering fingers as they fumble to undo my bra

i know with time all things will pass

our memories drained of their saturation

thank god

thank you god

maybe one day i shall return the favor

until then my lungs will rip each other to pieces to forget

the train leaves at 10 don’t forget

for fucks sake how do we go on

makeup and the bars of my rusting tear-filled cage stain the sheets instead of you

oh dear i miss you like the sky yearns for the sun at dawn

dragging you above the horizon

i wonder if you want to rise at all
