The Signal Didn't

The Signal Didn't - DrasticDzastr You kissed me hard enough the architecture doubted itself Something under my ribs kept broadcasting you through the walls Your mercy had teeth Your cruelty wore perfume Every opposite wore your face until the theorem learned my blood Trace me Taste me Waste me Erase me I said Which one was love? You said Which one survived? Your absence learned to fluoresce soft damage in the afterimage The room kept shaking after you and every surface answered back You disappeared The signal didn’t We took turns becoming famine took turns becoming feast Desire split clean down the middle pleasure speaking through its teeth No heaven No rescue No clean little ending Just your radiation in the plaster and my pulse learning the frequency Touch, ache Give, take Bite, taste Break, wake Love me wrong Love me strange Love me until the walls forget what they were made to contain Your absence learned to fluoresce now the afterimage lives in me The old room falls out of focus The signal keeps becoming clean You disappeared The signal didn’t Every wall developed a pulse Every answer lost its border By the time I found the doorway nothing in me needed one
