“to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.”― Cassandra Clare, City of Bones
Squelched dreams and broken hopes
lying in the
shriveled hopes of the tomorrow
silhouetted against the obsidian skies
of my dead and murky dreams
I wear in my large kohl-lined eyes
so they lit up the
dark alleys of my tepid heart
we make love to each other
gazing with the cracked eyes and shattered dreams
and posing for the burlesque love
deluded by the fake desires and despondent passion
till we reach the nerve-shattering scream
I pick and weave
my vapid desires in
broken amulet
as a symbol
for my
crestfallen and broken heart
which I will wear around my obsidian heart
to entice you to our dance of destruction.
–Megha
