Breath

 
I can never get back the sweetness of sixteen
I can never read the story for the first time again
Hear Jack White for the first time again
I
Can never be too pure again.

Burning man to ashes back to fire,
I can never be that particular spark.
I spark my own
Lost in dusk and phantom touches.
Faceless burning man to ashes back to fire,
What color are your eyes?

Why
I want to lose this heart and keep this mind
Keep in mind how he could
Make me
Burning woman to ashes back to fire.
If I get destroyed, again, again, I shall always be back to fire.

Words
Grasp and gasp and love and danger
Stranger and stranger than any before
Fucked up kinks
And music to kill
Man on fire,
What is your sound?

Bodies
Bodies and brain
Can you sink deeper into mine
Teeth and lungs
And deeper breath
Phantom, when
Will you show yourself?

What is blood's darker name?
Is there ink to borrow from you
To inject into me
Venom
Heart-stopping and honey
Storymaker,
How would you pen me down?

Into the twilight
And back
These sunsets touching valleys
Rivers
And stars flirting with skin
Hills, slopes
The gust of wind
The gasp
The intake of air
That breath of little lifelessness into the night
O, I
Sing in whispers
'Til he comes to me,
'Til he comes.
