The Boy Who Cried No


I am the rotting composition 

of all your dreams and nightmares, 
 
the uninhibited wine cellar 
of Pinot Grigio cravings, 
 
the back seats clouds 
of lustful innuendo, 
 
and the gracious tendrils 
peaking beyond the carriage 
of your pipe dreams. 
 
I am the deafening screams 
of your lover consumed, 
 
the angry scars of a lost boy 
drowning. You will die in these 
memories, be tainted by my caresses
and make songs of my touch.
 
You will sing, 
cry wolf of these 
late nights and 
 
no 
 
one 
 
will 
 
believe 
 
you.
