Polyanna

Northstar

So this is how it ends, toxic and deliberate

She's blood red at the neck boiling off fingerprints

This hospital love is making death seem elegant

“Just don't breathe and we'll stop time”

She said…



“I got this delicate lisp that speaks in tongues and upper lips”

Your silhouettes my favorite…i'm not letting go of it….



She's got a leash that grips my teeth

That cleans the air I breathe and

It's wrapped around this city…



You look so lovely running through my fingers

(Where everything's always felt right)



So she glides off the bed with unflinching relevance

and completely motionless…

You're so heavy, you're so warm

Just a pillow i've used a thousand times before

Wrapped in velvet and filled with thorns



I've got this weakening grip around her arms

Around her hips

Your silhouettes my favorite

I'm not letting go of it…



...and I will chase it

Grab it

Stake it

And rub until she fakes it



We all bloom faster in an oncoming disaster

… and I will let this hurt….



You look so lovely...
