Until I Forget

His beauty marks 

like bullets to my brain

But only for now,

Until they slip on out

And its remnants slowly seep

Into my blood and make it thicker

Makes my blood boil with anger 

and shiver with passion

Cry with laughter, laugh with tears, 

tremble with fear, shake with pleasure

We build civilizations, large and small 

just so they can get torn down and take us with them

What a strange, black hole of a snake time is
