i didn't believe in heaven but i did believe in hell. More

...
loving is like having butterflies in your chest.
pyramid heart
metal heart.

a faraway world that we can see
but not quite touch / but you sew
my heart into a doll's / plastic /
you pressed your warm yet cold
hands / on this wretched heart
of mine / and maimed it even more /
(beyond repair) / with a soft look in your eyes.

like a sweater knitted with love in the
trembling cold / i drank the glass
shards from your wine / but you
smiled as it was your treachery /
the glass shards grew and grew
until they pierced my stomach /
acid spilling out like a fountain /
no blood left because you've sucked
it all like nectar / the acid melts my
body into rosewater / but i heard
you singing a lullaby / and i dreamt /
of kissing you under the red, giant sun /
at the end of the world / but before your
lips could even reach my tongue /
the earth got swallowed into an eternal fire /
like the ones in hell / but on earth at the end
of the world.
