Empire Of The Senseless

The kids are behind us. I swear to you, I’ve seen this too. We went everywhere together. Slipped into a stream, tripped over some abandoned tracks, you refused to pull your sticky palm from mine. ‘Mine!’ you’d scream. Pulled me back into the muddy water and kissed me gently on my chubby cheek. I was strong for an eight year old, a real tough guy. You were a fairy, a whole entire two years older; you lit up the whole fucking night sky and never asked once if it needed you. Just in the name of desire, a precious innocent lust for the whole entire world. ‘Here! Take it!’ You’d scream. I want everything! I want it all to be free, fucking take me! Teach me to see in such a magnificent light.
