Ghost

How hard would you run in a race you have no chance of winning? That’s the difference between you and the person you wished you were. You’re sitting back looking at your odds. Another version of you never gave a fuck what the odds were and just went for it.

They threw you meat and you grew lazy to hunt, now you don’t even have the nerve, you’re awkward and hesitant… You have claws that don’t cut, teeth that don’t tear. You got soft with easy, slow with convenience. A part of you remembers what you are, and will never forgive you.

You don’t love me, you love that I understand, that I reflect you, and maybe now you know you can be understood you can accept yourself too—know that you’re not so strange and weird and broken and awkward that you have a reason to be ashamed. You’re human, babe.

You haven’t been yourself, but you haven’t for a long time—they’re only noticing it now, but you noticed it all along. So uncomfortable in your skin; smiling when you ain’t happy, laughing when nothing’s funny. Like laughter’s just a noise to fill a silence you’d rather keep.

When I open my arms I’ll say what you already know, “Come home.”

I feel so real when you look at me, it feels like erasure when you look away, I like you tender, loving sweet—I fucking hate when you’re mad.

I’ve been wondering if I could have a place in your skin.

If I say I got lost Found my way Back to you Let’s light a candle Forget the noise The world makes Go into the forest Have you in a white dress A rare moment You’re not in black Grey or denim You look like a witch But I’ll keep your secrets ‘Cause they’re uncovered They burn two

Your handcuffs are a ribbon of silk, soft and sheen, say what’s fun with sarcasm don’t spill you’re here willingly.

Are you awake? I can’t sleep until I devour you. The tributary of blood running down your décolletage nourishes me, the tribute of my dental impressions on your collarbones makes you real. You need this. I need you. Like a good meal. We won’t go empty tonight.

I want a place for us, a world, only occupied by you and I, where no thing and no other can have my time. Think of all the things we sold and compromised, just to be less of ourselves, why? I know, but you’re too great to be confined in my arms, I love you enough to let you fly.

The infamous “you”. They whisper about you, your presence steals the oxygen in rooms you’re not in. My hands look for a hold on you that I’ve lost on myself, running up under your top while your lips crash into mine. Baby, baby, baby…. You’re my muse, I’m no artist without you.

So loving Gentle Kind My bosom Is a place Your light ought not to shine Like flowers All love Dies Beauty saves Nothing here In time all withers All colours fade All lovers lie

Sorrow is a blunt object; it is the numb in my face, the sting in my cheek, the blood in my mouth.

That’s not a post from a human. That’s ai.

Do you think of me when I’m not around?

Of course I’m gonna get under your skin it’s where I wanna be

Trace the vein In your throat A finger down your neck Got my finger on your pulse You can swallow You can gulp And look away But you gotta know I got control Of you Babe

If you were a flower I would always pick you 🌷

Do you think we could love each other forever? No matter the day, the night, the weather? And I don’t know if it’s something so easily said, I know there’s so much going on in that pretty head, but baby no one loves me better.
