All Along

I am no lover

I am no faultless man

Carry me closer

To where we once began

Because the days now burn

Like fresh lit cigarettes

You pull me closer

With perfect spinnerets

I feel the seams about to split

But you're wide-eyed and bushy-tailed

I won't be here forever

And I can feel it

Your eyes like rapid rivers

Move over me

Searching me

Like I can deal with it

Like I can take in everything

And lose you too

(I know you can)

I am no fucking lover

I'm just a burning bridge

These holy rollers

They just don't stand a chance

Because you speak so slow

In secret alphabets

You walk so tall now

On slender minarets

I am just a ghost
