is it permissible to want what I want, to feel the things that I feel? a splinter spiderwebs red cracks (into/across) my screen I saw you in a recent dream comparing the photos of our future autopsies in a miracle of motion unbound by sound sprawling bliss midwinter burns me to the ground wrap your hands around my throat pull me closer ‘til I fucking choke I don’t know what the future holds but for a moment I don’t feel so cold yearnware megaplex my factory defects instantiating when your signal connects I don’t know what the future holds but for a moment I don’t feel so cold lustvomit limerence, a grin and a pause a slap in my face that fucking feels like applause I was built to be destroyed anew and wrapped in bloody gauze so fucking destroy me, please fucking destroy me I trace the impact wounds left by your fingertips drink deep the depths of your eyes, drink deeper your kiss a splinter driven deeper, oh, driven deeper a splinter driven deeper, oh, driven deeper than I can bear shatter into desperation I can take the pain but it’s the need that drives me mad (and so I crave yr killing blow) and when you do I hope it hurts I want to bear your perfect scar I want to bask in light corrosive I want to crash this fucking car I am the insatiable malfunctioning machine, and everything I whisper to you I fucking wish that I could scream I would crash this car again, just to burn in the wreckage with you glass and metal enmeshed in flesh, our bodies as one in a final caress we deserve one so much softer and I wish that it lasted longer everything that is and could never be rips me limb from limb just to live in my debris and I would give it all to you, if it won’t destroy what is yours exorcist or the autophage, arterial blood blacks out the page but we know that it was written, and we know that it was good only an impulse, only a moment, but I would stay forever if I only could only an impulse, only a moment, but I would stay forever if I only could only an impulse, only a moment only an impulse, only a moment I would stay forever I would stay forever I would stay forever if I only fucking could

haunted world of mirrors is maximalist gothic cybergrind, a recurring dream of old ghosts in new lives.
