It's heavy- writing about you.
Wanting to hear just once more-
Your voice, your laugh as you gently open
Your eyes after I close them for you.
But it brings back memories-
Memories of anger, of thirst.
Of my blood raining down on you.
I never meant for you to take my wounds
As if they were kisses.
Memories of a pendulum- your body
Hanging from the ceiling, supported by a callous rope.
And the hollow, cold silence as I took you down
As I cradled you in my arms, your cold flesh
Crumbling under my warm one.
Memories of closing your eyes
And you not opening them.
