yippee

Pour your boiling guilt onto my skin and watch me bleed just like everyone else. Watch the steam rise from my palms from your sins. You're all I want and more, I will never regret the burn scars. Prove your humanity to me so I can stop seeing you as a deity. The gold in your veins plague's my mind like a mortal abandoned by his god. I don't care how much it hurts, the starvation is worse. I can feel my body rotting like a plant without the sun. I extend my branches to you but find no more life. I hiraeth for your warmth like a bad dog lost in a storm. I long for your presence. I'm stuck inside a fantasy where I could be all you would need. If you could only see me now, I'm sure I'd disappoint somehow. Inject your blood into me so I dream of being immortal too, so I can dream of being your equal.
