Mr. & Mrs. Nobodie 

I saw your skeleton 
in every moonlit chuckle; every warm beer  
spilled across my cold and compliant nipples, 
every sun-cursed coffee-kiss-shuffle, every  
was-that-really-the-last-fucking-beer tantrum. 
I saw you, and still counted  
and adored every 
stupid bone. 
You could always dig mine up 
just by walking into the room. In return,  
fuck yes, I was gonna be the disco ball  
in your coffin as you lit the dancefloor 
of my soul. I was dedicated to dying  
more and more each night  
to be the bag of bones you’d imagine  
being buried with; kindred dirt-glam 
kisses, I’d dig you forever and play 
dead on command. 
I wanted to save us from bone-splintering 
boredom. But it seems 
the Moon was only dying 
for a good joke.
