omission V

another day of 3 a.m. sadness
waiting for you with my
heart in my mouth
this silence is
choking me

omission IV

not even this late sunset
enveloping me in golden light
can melt these shards of ice
you stabbed me with
so many times last night

omission III

your careless words
falling so effortlessly
from those fingers

those careless hands
so deftly breaking
my heart apart

so blinded by you
I just didn't see
that knife

omission II

funny how you can break a heart
without ever laying a finger
on the one who loves

omission I

tonight's going to be another night
of lying on the ground at 3 am
but tonight I won't wonder
where you are

precipice

you are a precipice
and I like to live 
a little too dangerously

rushing headlong
when I see the fall
shattering ecstasy

such delicious violence
colour me sated
when blood is drawn

numbers

the numbers can't go wrong
you said, but I know 
how they lie
