Desiccated Fireworks: A BBC Sherlock fanfic

Hey everybody! This is a "spectacular and creepy" poem about Moran/Moriarty or really Moriarty/anybody. The speaker is Moran or anybody. Please tell me what you think.

My singular nothingness only wished to be absent

To be nothing's nothing

Out of this world

Out of this plane

Out.

Those dry, too-hot nights,

faces lit by explosions

the fires illuminate

our dark recesses,

scrolled skin, scorched soul

I railed against my rank

would put bombs behind your back

And shoot them along with those you placed

I hoped

to push you away

It is easier to hold you at arms length than to hold you in my arms.

Your wholeness is frightening.

My wholeness is frightening.

Together we terrify, horrify, stupefy

We thought we could eat our darkness

or the darkness would eat us,

a deformed snack

Now I sit in your room with you and try not to be pragmatic

To let the consumption

overtake us

But this heat

is too sticky, too sweaty

too loose, too fragile

It blows our paper selves to the wind

to arc the solid blue

in outlined bones and weak (last) breaths

Maybe its time I left

Spend the rest of my sick days

in single candlelight

My head turns to go

But your clammy hand pulls me back, saying

"You're mine"
