'Drink Me'

One more sip of "drink me" and i'm falling through forever i hit the ground and cough my soul and look for us together time-slips so real i can distract the fates and brush them with fingertips i can will myself out of this flesh of patched up rips 9 months later, empty nest when all i did was incubate i see you in my arms in a nursery of stars but you're not really there and i'm left with these scars from where i stitched this scarlett letter but that didn't make them relent they still talked, still pushed me from this fence then i wake up and he whispers "are you ready? we get to see her today." i throw my arms around him and softly spin and sway inside this sweet release however temporary liberating and compulsory where the sidewalk ends is where i can breathe where the streetlight yawns a shadow is where i can conceive a world where two more heartbeats join my very own where i know i'm not alone Sun 9/23 5:10am
