I
Ghost
to the ghost
 
your skin was white and smooth like marble,
 
I went to my room and unpeeled.
I’m
I’m sorry
I could see the veins through your skin
 
It was the only way.
 
Your whole life you can be told that something is wrong,
and so you believe,
maybe someone did find out.
I had you living in my life
and I was alive
 
 
I was glad you did but I was afraid.
 
 
You, you said
 
maybe I was a fish
I wanted to give you the
jasmine and the wind chime stars.
You said
 
skeletons of ice.
We keep burning in a brown
smog pit
If you were a mermaid,
I was the sea.
 
Farthest I could get from you.
I wished you’d struck me blind.
 
It was too hot to breath,
 
I didn’t think you were in there.
 
 
I can connect nothing with nothing.
It was
 
all about fragmentation,
it was transformation.
 
I do now.
You said I could kill you,
if you died.
 
I’m sorry.
 
Razor sharp
the place I drank from,
the night broke,
try not.
 
Everything broken.
 
I’ll be inside the one that holds you
and then I won’t be.
