Mienteme

Act however you want,
have whatever you want,
and say it like that.
Lucky,
unfocused,
I'm still here.
oh! strip something fleeting from my body
oh! find me cursed in the storm.
Lie to me unconditionally
without hatred inside
lie to me that there's no love
without pain.
Slowly,
constantly,
I want you here.
I'm splintered,
in your memory,
that I chose.
Lie to me, do it for me
with your poison
lie to me, and go to sleep
tonight without me.
The stubborn bow, opening as it passes,
a breach in the horizon of this
tired sea.
