i am a beautiful and fucking ugly thing

so live. create. kill.


soft shifts in the forest

The morning heartbeats always flutter,

as ships in the forest become bare

and the restless dead still mutter.

Where my dearest Robert still roams,

bright smiles no longer reach his eyes;

the empty side he used to lie,

cries, for him to come back home.

I am hollowed out, my confessions stutter

as I draw in, this retreating air,

and the night reaches deep into my hair

never to remember what I love, what I utter

In the burnt mornings my heart flutters

and these escalading desires become bare

I hear the lullaby that you still mutter

like your fingers dig deep, singing into my hair…

God, maybe I am in love
