Lovephobic
I see your beauty,
Beyond denial.
Surrounded by hungry flames,
I see his bones feeding them,
He loved you to pieces.
And even with his final breath dwindling in those flames he still whispered.
_I love you_
And now your platinum claws,
With a hypnotic purple dripping from those smooth tips,
Turn my knees to jelly,
Calling me,
As a chaotic rainbow of seduction gleams on your lips,
And spills onto your leather lingerie,
I can feel the fear in me morphing into desire for you.
Your name is the only thing I can breathe to.
But I take a gun and sink some lead into my feet to slow them down.
I break my neck to loosen the stare before I turn to a pillar of salt.
I pluck my eyes because one more second of your magnificence and I will be another meal for the flames.
And slowly my shadow disappears from the tips of your coffee brown feet.
I have won the battle.
But am not sure of the war.
