Without me

pen me to page

as think you me

though i require much

ink and thought

and often linen stock

otherwise i shall smear

on shiny surfaces

you know well

and roseblood ink

is the only way to tell

anything about us

smile me and laugh

as joke often i am

i know in many circles

the laughter is of me

it's ok to joy me

joy me at will

i've cried enough

others should thrill

even at my expense

a fitting recompense

kick me and salsa

and stomp on dreams

they were part of

a short lived scene

why not let out

that angst in dance

at least that would

be the dream's 

last chance

smoke me drink me

blaze me all night

whether flesh

or liquid or vapor

you deserved lust

and delight

slake me and wake me

and devour 

whatever you feel just

if ever i misjudged 

now i extend trust

if ink on napkins

lipstick and stains

don't prove love

from this distance

between us

choose me lose me

and go live

every desire

then call me

fall me

blame me liar

flame me burn me

and see if 

i ever spend you

see if i repent you

see how your lips

can so easily earn me.
