When Love Is Merely Mortal
Watch as I deteriorate,
into a living corpse,
disassembling from
love's denial.
My hair an extension
of my disarray,
my two lips now
a Sahara
without the oasis
of your kiss.
Eyes vacant like Poe
wandering the alleys
of Baltimore.
Stenos-is of the spine
bends me in grief,
your arms no longer
hold me up,
I grasp only air and
suffocate without you.
My heart is an echoing chamber
where you last words
bounce endlessly.
my soul an empty
hope in my chest,
my legs have no
desire to carry me
anywhere once
shared with you.
So I lie in repose,
on a half rumpled bed,
reliving what is
now dead to me.
Only you are my antidote,
to staunch the bitter
tears, the apathy,
but your heart is
a vessel drained
by my inconsiderate
gluttonous thirst.
I have liked all
of the kindness
from your essence
and left you
a desiccated husk
with just a faint scent
of the musk of what
once was
