Tetelestai

By Corinthian















          




dizzy.





walking through
lost woods






blue.  




lips that
do not
stay silent



I
numbed
you. 

white
and
painful
in an
instant



+while

it stung+
 
I sold
you my
fantasy
burning
on
twisted
gold
poles

Behind
carved
locks

dark blue.
cups
of

gold
bubbles
in 
red water.


Aching
melting
unafraid.
Unreal,
unbeautiful      

my
charms
scatter 
the
shining
floor
heavens
+history


this
place
is
full
of
slow
spells   

Jingling bells
tied
onto
my boots
so
he will
always know
where
I am +


sympathy
stares
secluded room


Mother of
candle light
latin prayers
and
sitting
saints


blurry waltz
Lies with crossed legs
winking
on a
shivering
bed +



I dont
want to
sparkle
anymore .


you
can
taste
the
elegance
on my wrist 


and If
you really
love me
you
will feel this ,
before I take it away
I am trying to tell you
something
