disappear

moonlight from the window

illuminated fingerprints

painted blood-stained glass

casted shadows intertwined

on the white concrete wall

her dark shadow i can’t erase

stone-paved road under the

bleeding soles of my bare feet

left a trail as red as her lipstick

leading to where the quiet sky

kissed the drunk waves of the

sapphire ocean under a galaxy

starlit depths of her shadow

my empty body dissolving

in cold waves crystals break

for her i’ll di s a p p e a r

dreaming in these waters

as i drown myself to life
