A response to Kate Godvin

Your Bones Are No Longer Your Skeleton

eyes, eyes darker every time
can never remember your shadows
such a ghost in your own bones
haunt me again
 

that look, that look
it was real once
your eyes in the red light
telling me
 
no good, no good
for me or for you
we won't stop
you can't
 
I know, I know
these days, anything
that gets your blood racing
it's worth it
 
of course, of course
I won't mention it
but, my dear, there's
no more you
 
black and blue
such a pale heart
still dark
haunt me again
 

one last time
