Grey Hammock

Remember when your veins crept out your wrists,
They painted stars behind the black of my soul.
The daisy-chain in my hair I planted in your fists,
And tattooed winter phonecalls in your abysmal blackhole.
The sky was broken and your hair carried rivers,
Your chest was torn and my ribs oozed silver.

Remember night skies stuck in moonless snowglobes,
And roofs and sunsets and alternative rock songs,
You were crimson,I bit memories into your earlobes,
You said my oversized sweaters drowned all your wrongs.
I twirled in the dark and you saw me bleed,
You bled in the light from which our dark nights feed.

Remember the days when rain sculpted our form,
My grunge thoughts got tangled between your lips,
You wore black jeans and they coloured the storm,
I tasted the pastel cigarette as it cuddled your hips.
Grey Wonderlands shot out of my fingertips,
I hid from the sun and you went on indoor trips.

Remember your purple vines and indie hammock?
The locket and my key to your pendant padlock?
Remember when beads and spikes marked the end,
Remember when none of this ever happened?

That poem was insightful and means a lot. You should write more like it. I like how the poem tells a story.
