I live for a little death
the kind that flicker and lose the fight
I live for shallow breathes
the kind that cough, bloody loss
i live for nothing less
less than zero, second best
I love a bloody mess
so rip it out, rip it out

i live in love’s nest
i try my best, I need a rest
I failed at life’s tests
to the flame, a burning shame
my love is the rain
coming down, coming down
I love all the pain
love is war, anti war

my little death

shallow and breathless / sallow but deathless

you were my best death,
war, anti war
