words by dominic riccitello

crumbling to bits
finding drinks in the sand where he left
to touch upon a soul with no control
i form to thee and leave him dull
a worthless sound i soon to realize
left eyes in the ground at our feet
beginning and pulling with creed
when blood pulls, it forms
pools build and hesitation builds
i swore i’d never run
but fast can’t see and this breath can’t breathe
i swore i’d never lie
honesty transcends and fallen angels can no longer kiss
buckling our knees to bathe in a world we loved
hourglass flips with tables turned
words of whores leave lisps
his lies could kiss the tongue and burn to bits
blood smears in a jazz i resist
we could coexist, but life would be at odds
pain would inflict and the devil would twist
our backs in the shape of hearts
creating form for us
a playground we knew too well
where red becomes blue
shadows become hues
darkness consumes 
his being is my muse
