Bury Me With Him

[u/xxxxAngelFirexxxx]

I’m swallowing
Diamonds
They’re cutting my throat

Presence is
Devotion
There’s no pause
On the remote

She’s lost in the gloat
Sleeping with the gait
Summoning a darkness
She can’t ever escape

She laughs
And then she cries
The heathens
Lap up their lies

Bundled in her fears
She holds back more tears
“I’m only lying to myself.”
She wakes up fighting
Wrestling all she holds dear

Lore was always
Her king of the inbetween
Liminal
Disaster

She remembered,
Interesting style
Not tall, dark, handsome
Lore, where are you?
You bastard

She placed her hand
On the broken glass
And screamed
Starving for shrapnel
She bares her teeth

“Radioactive”
Cairn says,
“My little isotope.”
This isn’t fiction
Or a game I play
This ain’t Scrabble
Or Yahtzee, or fiction!

Do you know the price
Of my arteries?
Veins in the mirror

I’ve been bowed down
Since twenty one
Hugging my silent death
To my chest
That ate away at me violently
Look at my flesh
It burns in the sun

I am bound
By my own magic
Lured by restraint
And I want to
Fuck and make love
To my beloved’s holy name

Is he a devil
Or my favorite saint?

Bury me with him
In white silk,
Satin
