Second Mortgage

Rob me of my youth

and coat my blood with porcelain diamonds

too thick to shatter;

ravage my mind with despairing thoughts that only 

age my skin and dull my mind with every

waking second

living

and 

dying

together

in one breath

in a purgatory

in ourselves.

The words between us do little 

to augment my blood or my skin

or my time

that as of late

has been spent

wishing you were here.
