Broken Hero

This began with a sixth sense �
simmering energy entangling us �
blossoming pain paralleled at the roots �
subdural hematoma we both ache to bleed �
�
Held hostage by war that remains inside �
tendrils latching to the frayed tips of mine �
transcension when our bodies intertwine �
no pause before we cross the line �
�
Swallowing the frost beneath the waist �
lost in the chemicals and your embrace �
spit in my mouth, you know I love the taste �
unravelling I only know your face �
�
Wavering to the pull of my disease �
belly fluttering with wings of anxiety �
temporary reprieve; licking fingers from my knees �
can't say no when your ghost reaches out for me �
�
Crushing diamonds between my teeth �
I pull the string until you find relief �
dropping the needle to the floor �
consume your mouth before you ask for more �
�
the shell shock seeping from your core �
those hollow eyes trap the scream inside �
I won't let it drag you under this time �
melt into my hips again �
�
Kissing the track marks on your skin �
trembling muscle beneath my lips �
angry beast wrecking walls deep within �
choking on your breath; give in again �
�
Lulling each other beneath the waves �
bringing down heaven from the grave �
closer to god when we're in this state �
touching a mark I can't erase �
�
Do you even know my name? �
you have become a sacred place
