mutual decay — liminal

i see you

when i close my eyes,

i taste your breath

when i lie.

you're stitched into my pulse,

and i don't want it to stop.

i carved your name

into the mirror's throat,

watched it bleed

every word you wrote.

you're the scar

i crave to feel again,

the voice that hums

beneath my skin.

i tried to leave,

but you stayed inside.

you live where i rot,

you're where i hide.

you're in my head,

i'm in your veins.

we're beautiful rot,

we share the stains.

i'd burn the world

to feel your breath,

our love's a pact

signed in death.

there's no me left,

there's no escape—

we feed,

we fall...

mutual decay.

i dream your hands

around my throat,

each gasp a prayer,

each choke a note.

you said "forever,"

and i obeyed,

now every thought

has your face engraved.

you haunt the walls

beneath my skin,

you whisper "mine"

and i let you in.

i'd kill to feel you,

die to stay—

sanity sold,

i threw it away.

i am you.

you are me.

sick.

in.

sync.

eternally.

you're in my head,

i'm in your veins.

we're beautiful rot,

we share the stains.

i'd burn the world

to feel your breath,

our love's a pact

signed in death.

there's no me left,

there's no escape—

we feed,

we fall...

mutual decay.

you'll never leave me.

you'll never leave.

i'll make sure of it.

mutual...

decay.
