when my demons met yours
they smiled
because my darkness
knew yours.
they made a home
in your cold heart,
in the flutter of your eyes,
in your rough lips.
it hurt so good
for a moment.
i liked being lost
in nights that never ended
and smiles that lied
because we were not fine
but we pretended anyway
in a game of lies.
my demons came
to grasp my neck
while the bed we lay in
crumbled
because it was time for me
to meet myself.
i do not know the darkness
that drowns my eyes now.
i think i took your demons with me.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

This is incredibly raw and evocative. I couldn't choose a favourite line until i reached that last one which is extra amazing. So well done!
