Alone With You

this is how i am
with ghost blood pumping through
your far reflection turned around
set straight
going forward
spear piercing my heart
shattering me like glass

if only i could be
torn paper cupped & filling up
like a tempest in your eyes
shining forth
with ghost blood
& nothing to doubt
but my own doubt

this is how i am
this is how i’ll be
never the twain shall meet
but always in between
a fireball phantom
borderline cowardly champion
set forth
out of sorts
broken but taped together
with ghost blood pumping through
your sweetest mirror turned around
& nothing left
but these ridiculous words
