28/F/South Africa I am a hopeless romantic. In love with all things considered alive
I'm triggered It feels like a bullet wound to my head Like daggers to my chest I'm stir crazy I'm all alone There's a breath on my neck I'm not even safe at home arms tighten at my throat and I can't breathe I'm leaking from arousal I don't want it but I can't speak "You're so wet for me" I don't want to be I'm triggered Nobody can love what is tainted

Triggered
I used to want a lover Like the boys in the books Until I met you, Now I want books with boys who are Lovers like you

Lover
He is my vermilion His cheeks adorned with the love of the sun His scarlet hair caught in the gaps of my fingers Burning passion into my lungs. A reason to keep breathing He is my vermilion Before him I was all but a black hole, my life sinking into oblivion Lifeless living until he- a mercuric sulfide gem had me falling head first For him I paint the blue left of me, red Every time his chest is where I lay my head Pieces of him have fallen through the crevices of my broken heart Now I hurt every time we have to part I fell in love with him before I even knew Now that I do He is the colour of my love He is the colour of my life

Vermilion
Zestful is his demeanor Alluring is his mind Young he is at heart Noble he is on a whole Omnipotent is his soul Nurturing he is, most of all And a letter of his name starts each line of this poem

My Best Friend
I've been told never to let the Devil in My 'no' had fallen upon deaf ears and he'd invited sin My cries were blanketed by fear As I sat in the loudest silence you'd ever hear His hand held tight upon my thigh Nobody would look me in my eye Bruised and battered I couldn't cry for help His fingers crawled deeper and I'd accepted the card I was dealt I wanted to say something to somebody But I couldn't bare the idea of being blamed by everybody Healing is on the front porch But I'm too weak to unlock the front door "I told you not to wear that dress." "Now look you're a ******* mess" I can't fall asleep at night I hear my mothers lack of sympathy And I can't help but think that she was right

Withered Petals
Silent for months Mute with the inability to say much Weakened by the idea that healing had to be rushed The soul is Painted with the idea that the heart was crushed Bits and pieces of the muscle Pierced within itself Lost With no idea how to start a search Tears like acid Set the body Ablaze like a Phoenix on fire Feelings It came out like **** Oozing from an infected wound Plaster Like super glue Guarded Like Cartier necklaces far too Precious to put at risk of hurt

Never good... They're all heavy dreamers, spewing out promises like its a fvckin rap verse and when it's time to pull through, excuses are their favourite hooks.. Struggling artists never wake up, they stay stuck and damage you with a glue gun in the process, hard part is you always think that you're in love and you always go back, it's like abuse.

Struggling Artists
I miss her too you know? The girl I used to be She's been gone, Hibernating from this ice cold earth They don't deserve any of what she's worth As frostbite teased the very tips of her heart, in pain Her only fear was that she may never feel again As the tears traveled down my cheeks, with the inability to speak I know that I have failed her All that I had once felt has turned into the nothingness he felt He'd judged her, for loving love It is the shallow emptiness of the walls my fingers fill, desolate of emotion It is not my own, but those of the people whose juices I thought would colour my world Re inviting the old me in. Unable I was to discover my old self But still solace is found For from fire She will return As recent tears are dried before escaping the ducts I am warm Even at a distance from the winter sun I am warm Because a Phoenix Unconquered is the old me

Phoenix Unconquered
Your eyes became the marble floors Your smile the French doors Your voice the welcoming tone When your arms wrap around me I feel at Home
