when all had left me
and everything I had ever known was gone I listened to Lana Del Ray and Hozier busied myself in night life mingling with all the sad lonely others living like vampires wine was blood scars and tattoos were jewels in the dark Dionysus was laughing as we smeared our faces stuffed sorrow into our pockets with dirty pennies I danced on deaths doorstep flirted with the idea that the end was near enough to close my eyes and fall feathers drifting from a split pillow the tarot cards kept telling me my time was running out and I pretended I didn't care I read them on the bathroom floor in my underwear smoking cigarettes like it was a full time job my demons put me to bed whispering dark poetry that I needed to die to write each day I looked away as another part of me was discarded they tended to me while I slow swam through hell when they only saw my perfection I watched their sharp teeth turn to stars they took the bones of my past and cast them like runes turned me towards the mirror to show me my own sharp teeth fed me blood apples when I couldn't eat cloaked in darkness after a life of being vulnerable and naked I learned to let them help me now we sit here together I lower my cloak so I can feel their kiss and I hear them whisper my destiny their teeth graze my skin and I smile
