Poison

Drink me. The note was inconspicuous

I tasted the remnant of you

My tongue was not certain of familiarity

I wiped my mouth and glanced furtively

The room was full of versions of you and I

I cried into an empty goblet

Of pride and caresses

You grinned malevolently

As I scrabbled for purchase

In this destination of what we were

While I kissed that chasm that

Was us

 

Burden

The weight of your love

Is overwhelming and thick

I have tried to carry you

A rucksack full of pieces

Of what was once whole

I stumble and fall to

My bruised knees

I’m crying a fools tears

As I try to extricate myself

From you

Masculine

I was broken

You were undamaged

We took in air

With difficulty

Your smell was faint

My grip was strong

We fell in tandem

With ease

I tasted your neck

Your myocardial thump

We cried alone

In the twilight

You

Me

We

I

Alone loved your existence

In this moment
