come to me

it’s been decades since i’ve seen you last.
the fighting was better than this
dull silence from you.
it has stretched between us 
like those years we spent together.
the love that transcends the death
you brought upon me.
why do you deny yourself heaven?
the touch of my skin?
the taste of my love when you suck it out of me?
it is still inside of you,
your love is not lost on me.
for our hearts to dance one more time,
i would let you do it all again.
stab my heart, drag it five blocks
down the street
to the park in paris where our ghosts would meet.
we could act like lovers,
deception where there was once devotion.
take these decaying pieces inside of me
and show me what i can become at your hand.
i love you like i never left.
