Nocturnal
You kiss me in the dark
Lest anyone see
There be meaning
behind
unreadable eyes
A conscious
Accuses me
of feeling
more than I should
Only a silly girl
Would make that mistake
and even if I believe
I would never
let you see
Lest that testament
End it for me.
am defined –
You prefer the blond
enough that
I cried this morning
For a colour long lost
To an impulsive
Friday night
When I thought
Fire would better
My sense of self
And now bitter –
I am floating
On a haze
Of the days
Coming
My misery
Defined
For all the world
To see
The colour
I used to be.
So what with the fucking
The pretense
That I’m too perfect
Too easy
To like, to disprove
If she ever asked you
Ostracized
Shed like skin
The slithering snake
Incites an event
Your blood couldn’t be
Colder
When it’s hot
Under my body
Am I nobody
In this moment
That you could doubt
You and me
As a possibility
Go on.
