.destroy this need to swallow you whole -kiss/slowly-.

By Philla

Kiss the breath back into my lungs...
and whisper into my deaf ears
[if you can taste the blood on my lips].



And tell me if the tears are too much...
and I'll -feed- them to the

thunder clouds.


And they'll devour them
like broken temple gods
that decayed...
.just a little too late.


Just for you baby.
Only for you.

For your hatred is my cigarrette...
and I'll smoke it s/l/o/w/l/y'

    Awe...I think you ripped my innards out and jumped all over them. You have that way with words. To envoke such an emotion out of me. Wonderful. Also, I love your new pic thats up! Beautiful. :)
