breathe

 
in the dawning of a perennial sky, I blush
I would fade but not today
I touch your aether taking breath
bringing it inside me

reading the brail of your spine
I find the hidden truths of you
I've known you since the foundations of the world
I will die inside your love notes
where you capture the best of me
leaving the rest of me for the vodka to devour

I live in the purgatory of lust
I burn here
we are cult fiction at midnight
a juxtaposition of guilt and honor

you read my looks as a fortune-teller would
you know the future of our destiny
still, you hold me tight like there will be no tomorrow
and for us, there never could be

I ache inside your loneliness
I covet your smiles
I keep every last one within me
moonshine and stardust
I keep the magic of you secret

you are mine by dawn's light
I will fade when you leave
evanescent I shimmer only for you
