My Self Righteous Suicide

You were hot where it mattered 
And cold as ice too
Touching your lips to mine 
Was a 440 volt electric shock
A herald of the apocalypse that was inbound 
A sign that I would break
And lie on the ground bleeding 
We were never just friends
There is no justice involved in mating rituals
Your last text was my note 
As I stand here tonight
My lungs burning 
My ribcage pounding
I want to explode
Allow me to write this epilogue 
Which will find its way to you
Cold rain falls on the ground 
Petrichor wafts into the air 
The bassist of my favorite band
Caresses my ears 
The night swallows me up in it's arms 
Gravity doesn't matter anymore
Nothing matters anymore 

The Bilge Master
