i’ll repeat your name like a prayer, like a lover, like the masses, like someone stumbling though the dark in need of a prayer to stumble on.

“i love you.”
the words spill out like oil and slick the ground like ice. you can try not to trip but everything is a lost cause and everyone needs a little bit of hope.

it’s hard not to think. the way you look up, out the window and straight back at me. the neon fluorescent of the city strikes your face from every angle and there has never been anything more tragically beautiful.

"tell me, when you kissed the lightning did it burn your eyes? and when you loved me did it turn your heart to ashes?
