[you steal my breath]
And I saw myself
Reflected.refracted _frac/tur.d
In a broken mirror
In burning buildings

In coke dreams and acid trips
We lived our lives
Saintly perfect
Deadly evil
And a drop of love
Or two

We knew what ran around the corners but still stared down death in the masque of velvetine

We bled black in a summers sunset
Lost in but another sigh and one last shot of vodka.
The exhale of smoke that took my breath

[like you]

You looked so small.
In that hospital bed
Our trips through time finally took their toll
And I realized just then
Just how much
And how little we were

I wasd never much known for sucsess
If only failures
Like a dive into an empty pool
Cracking into nothing but rusted spikes

Crushed back down into nothing
Ashen.Aged and so violent
Bullets made of butterflies
Make trigger fingers itchy

.make.me.cry.

Lips touch |The disease only lasts so long before it kills.|

So kiss me.
