engulfing.
books burning,
left,
right,
up,
down,
all around me.
chopin plays on the turntable to my left,
perfect unity,
though the distortion
melts through the vinyl
like the pain of losing
my best friend
melts through the cold,
broken heart
that rests within me.
he was my better half
was.
the damned–
the damned.
i was damned,
doomed to fall,
fell miles and miles through heaven into hell,
banished,
now he, too,
damned.
damned to heaven,
his personal hell,
a place where i could never return.
god herself
cast me away,
cast me down,
down into the 7 layer dip that burns your tongue
and doesn’t go well with anything.
he’s damned.
i’m damned.
we’re damned together,
on opposite ends of damnation.
