beneath the dying sun a whisper of what used to be

you are the poem i refuse to finish

kisses like quiet bruises across your soul

those dark beautiful intentions we don’t talk about but keep the fire burning

you wore ache like a dress so i tore it open

the words vanish and the silence screams, love

without darkness we would never see the stars

love lingers like perfume long after the touch is gone

in every phase the moon remembers us

Skin aflame, whispered secrets in a tongue of shadows and silk, each word a caress that mocks restraint.

we are two verses of the same dark poem

cemetery kisses for your shadow

you are not just a moment you are every moment

you are my heartbeat my breath my sky

i leave marks and you wear them like jewels

saltwater lips and kisses that taste like summer

More than life, more than death, more than all that's in between.

our hunger is dark but it never stops being love

our love is written in shadows and sighs

i bite your lip like you’re a secret i have to taste
