it was your naked soul I fell in love with

though I had memorised every single mark

upon your naked flesh.

I knew the route the scars led me to

you had mapped out a course

that led me right to heaven.

it was your absinth gaze

that held me close and whispered

of long forgotten tales.

your secrets hid in the shadows

watched us from afar as we melted

right into lies.

it was the green fire that burnt me

scorched me down to the marrow

of my bones.

but i never forget

how could I forget?

someone so deep

and painfully perfect as you.
