it flickers

you stare at the space
where the fire meets the wick
the invisible halo
that crowns the candle

and it flickers

and you realize your skin
can't stand to be touched by another

it flickers

and you remember the nights
she held onto you
and you thought she would never let go

it flickers

even if it burns

it flickers

you stare
and swear
that space is portal
you could reach through
and caress HER skin
if only the fire was big enough

and it wouldn't flicker

like a paint chipped window shutter
in an Oklahoma twister
you heart becomes a tease
no longer protecting the pane
threatening to shatter
and let in the rain
soaking the pictures

it flickers

because there's not enough oxygen
because there's too many people
in this room

and it flickers
and you wonder

I want us to do the most back breaking things to keep a roof over our heads. I hope we have to shake fire and brimstone from our shoulder blades each night. Our fingertips, I want the stench of cigarettes to be seared into them and alcohol sewn into our breath. I hope we sleep in a bed of ashtrays, unpaid bills, and notebook paper, cover ourselves in half painted canvases, lay our heads on piles of the things we never say, and dream in colors our minds are too terrified to comprehend. I hope we over sleep every night. I want our nerves to be raw at every moment. I hope our every days are exhausting. I hope our days are shitty. I hope our days are scary. I hope our days become as monstrous as they'll say we are. I hope they can't stand to be around us. I want people to hate how we dress. I want them...
