i think my brain is faulty
dark thoughts swirl through my mind
like a demon, possessed
i want to hurt myself
scratch the thoughts from my skin
but they return on dark nights
sometimes when i least expect them
come crawling back
like a bad smell

i try to release the thoughts
through my finger tips
onto blank pages with biro
but they are lodged inside
for eternity
sometimes tears flow
and its like i can breath again
but then the emptiness follows
my words
my breathe
everything
stuck in my throat
like an incurable illness

please make them go away
please
i beg you

remember the kiss,  the first one
surrounded by nature,  twisted trunks
an abundance of steams
on a branch, big enough for two
we sat embraced, at one with the world
and each other, that day i fell
yet the bruises and headaches
are a small price to pay
for someone as lovely as you
you picked me up
wiped away the dirt
but sometimes pushed me back down
left me there to rot
alone


but you return, as lovely as ever
mine, always mine
each kiss as memorable as the first
each embrace, tear, whisper
i love you

last night i dreamt of life without you
   which was more like a nightmare
i am addicted to you,
                   my dear
consumed, possessed

so don't be alarmed
when i say you're mine

i wanted to tell you
how perfect you looked today
but i couldn't find
the right words

so i stared, wide eyed
and took your breath away
with a kiss which
entwined our souls

and we drifed away
content and breathless
which is how i feel
when i see you

— The End —
