I hate the bleached blanca-hued walls
+ without a trace of lived-in soul
+ or any personality at all.
+ I want the dust.
+ I want the grime.
+ It means that here we've spent some time.
+ I want the scratched-up kitchen counters.
+ I want the sharp edges worn rounder.
+ I don't mind if the paint chips
+ so long as here I can steal a kiss.

Lethe,
- do you understand?
- I refuse to play a hand
- in your self-annihilation.
- Especially not in my name
- or for the purposes of tearing through the Veil.
- There is no use in a deep-rooted tree
- yearning to revert to a seed.
- Pull your claws out of your chest
- and stop making of your guts a gory mess.
- Your grasp
- whether through Veil or ceiling of glass
- must exceed
- your reach.

There used to be "forbidden questions"
- you would only answer with hesitation,
- would sometimes answer "no"
- just to throw
- a wrench in my anxiety's gears.

Although
- I guess by now I should know
- that if you've loved me all these years,
- there's no reason you would stop now.
- Not after everything I've ever done
- or the atrocities I have yet to commit:
- your life is mine, you insist;
- I'm the only one you want to spend it with.

I guess by now
- you've figured out
- that nervousness is my base nature,
- that while consciously I know,
- it hasn't pierced through all my layers.
- Hasn't come to reside
- in my left lung, straining for air,
- strung up with rope and left to die.

It's said that Odin sacrificed
- himself to himself in this way,
- knowledge the thing that he sought.
- An alphabet to answer magic,
- guard rails for creative thought.

Just as fated is Nidhogg
- to the roots of Yggdrasil forever gnaw,
- so I too lurk the underground of Yewiffe,
- stuck going in circles, unable to leave.
- This last rune standing at the end of time,
- a doorway out
- crossed out
- with two opposing lines.
- There's something in my past
- for which I am wracked with longing,
- but I can't find it
- and neither do I know what it is
- and going down is this ship
- and the blood
- in my lungs
- is pooling
- where the spear
- has pierced
- my side
- and in my own sorrow sans escape I am drowning.
