My bed is empty now you're gone
I remember you like a movie, like a dream
Pulling the earth around me, my thoughts gather like petals
And pucker like satin, my muse in contemplation
You solved me like a puzzle
And flowed
With your marble skin
Falling out of the bar drunk onto wet floors
Incessantly insisting
Everything is okay but deep down
Our hearts are tainted
We undress as we bury our secrets
And tear each other apart
Until there's nothing left to recover
My lover, my fugitive
With your finger on my pulse
Growing weaker
I love you like I love the moon
Like I love Vincent, like I love Amy
Like I rue the day I lost you to the burning red sunset
The trees appear thinner, and I see through every hallway and every wound
Coming back, back, back to you
The rebel in my heart
My bravado
The December we spent by the creek
Vanishes
Into an infinite pool of tangerine
And nothing remains
Not even the Sun-Dweller between my legs
The nostalgia
The insomnia
The music we listened to when we were numb
Just a single glow
The last breath, caught between the soft edge of the corner
And the moonlight
When I was a little boy
I dreamed of you
With rosy red cheeks and hollow eyes.
