I have an addictive personality In one way and more I’m an addict for sure, not for ****** or crack not something easy like that No I’m an addict for love And yes I know every addict right now is grinding there teeth wishing to tear me a new one ***** uttered through gritted teeth And that’s fair I’d say, I’m sure it ***** I’ve never been addicted much just *** smokes, alcohol and such I don’t know, not really how hard it is but what I can say is this I wish I was an addict to something that would actually **** me See an addict they need it always and can’t get enough Fill their veins till they see heaven with that stuff But the love I crave you see it never brings me ecstasy just half hearted hope that one day I’ll see someone won’t tear up and spit out what’s left of me It’s not a high I can control and it leaves me wanting something awful It takes away my breathe but forgets to give it back I’m so use to walking around gasping living through a pain that’s worse than a heart attack **** if I could be an addict I think maybe, yes I would ****** would be a friend that would never leave me like he could Hell if somethings going to run like acid through my veins eating ravaging through my brain taking away anything sane Than Jesus ******* Christ let it be something that actually kills me not takes me dancing in the rain, breaks my heart and looks at me like I’m the one to blame Let it be something I can claim Cause this love **** is exhausting and I’m tired of the pain Give me one giant shot of bliss and let me leave this plain Because the next time I can get a hit I know it’s going to feel like **** But my hearts an addict, it won’t quit I’ll give all that’s left to be their perfect fit

Addict

I could see myself with you, happy and free I could see myself with you caged heart, nothing but debris I could be a dream for you, picture perfect everything you need I’ll be I could be myself with you but I’m afraid of what you’ll see I could fall for you but not softly, no that’s not me I could ignore the logic and be lead astray get lost in those deep brown eyes and stay But the guttural scream howling from within serves such a perfect reminder of all the happy ever afters that could have, should have but never would have been I want to drown in your scent let the perfect waves of the curve of your smile crash over me drag me from shore and pull me to the undertow of your love I want to drown in your essence become so ingrained with it that it would break without my presence I want to want to just let go Trip up again let love like a river from me to you flow In all it’s glory it’s highs it’s lows I’d fill his soul until he knows Nothing but my sweet embrace and I nothing but him gently cupping my face Oh how sweet the song of that perfect shape Another pothole I’m not sure I can escape

Potholes part 3
One of those days Heavy deep sighs Tears behind tired eyes Purposeless lies It’s alright and I’m fine Tiptoeing that line Empty pit Losing it Despair takes hold Whilst I unfold To broken to hold Many pieces No releases Take me away I don’t want to do this another day!

Another done day
I want to be honest with someone I want to show someone the closet full of bones, my attic of grief.. I want to want someone to care for these wounds To understand the pain inflicted by them I want someone to want to know my truth To gingerly peel back the dressings covering these open gashes To kiss my broken parts and accept them as they are To hold me whilst they heal But every time these bandages are pulled back When they are raw and sore I’m under attack Like pressure points to bend me to there will Forever a weakness Forever a reminder that no one will ever love the broken That raw is vulnerable So I use the knives that stabbed me and I build an armour

Armour of knives
I’m so tired of being me Tired of feeling to much, too much love, too much hate, too much of my own body When the tears you cry itch and burn and every emotion you feel makes your stomach churn Tired … Tired of caring to much, it’s exhausting When social interactions cost all your rations and a hug can trigger enough to lead to regrettable actions When crumbs on the floor stick, make you sick feeling engulfed in waves of unease it’s unappealing To be me… To be me and hate every inch of your being To be me and live with all my neurosis To itch and scratch In your brain and in your veins the unreachable unteachable tendrils that sliver To be me is to be tired To be tired is to be Human.

TO BE TIRED IS TO BE HUMAN
A poem has rules and structure, a rhyme has to be well thought out and neat. My words much like our love lack these qualities right now… like our love they are raw without rhyme or reason, not well thought out and by all means an absolute mess… and I think it’s beautiful, the way my brain turns to goo when I think of you. The way my heart forgets to keep its walls up when you hold me. The way when I see your smile I can’t understand the funny bursting feeling in my chest. I can’t explain how the curve of your smile against mine feels like two wholes becoming one. I can’t explain why two weeks ago I could have lived without you in my life and how the idea that I did baffles and hurts my heart. My words, like our love are full of boundless opportunities that could go on forever and climb to the greatest heights, if only my heart could speak clearly… I can’t explain what it feels like to walk alone cold scared constantly slipping looking for shelter in all the wrong places and the relief I found the night I fell into your warm embrace, I can’t explain why you smell like home, feel like safety and kiss like passions personification…. I mean maybe I can, maybe I have some words but do they make much sense coming from this love drunk fool?

Always for never
I see kind eyes tracing my body I hear my heart flutter when he nears I taste his lips against my smile I smell his scent on my sheets And I feel… oh too much...

Love me, love me not...
See I wanted to check in with a smile or a grin Show you some scale of grandeur or win But when your smiles wafer  thin and you can see them looking in Head hung low and you can't meet there eyes, raise your chin .... See I wanted to ask Are you okay? How is your day? But love is a currency I am to broke to pay Just one more hurdle I've got to get through and I'll get back to you Over this one under that one two steps forward one step back, hey look another panic attack... A sign of reprieve puts my mind at ease Of course but a tease One breath and I'm back Grief stricken heart attack See I wanted to smile Run for a mile Or just sit and enjoy for awhile With you and me Good company So once again I'll plea no more hurdles please let me be I have friends, a family to raise and people who need me... Alas to no avail The next trauma makes the last seem pale And when I go to stand this time I know I may fail See what I wanted was never on the cards Life is one big hardship Not some tale of fantasy sung by thy bard So ignore my silence for words right now are just to hard...

I have got to text dad
It stopped being that I couldn’t hold you and became that you couldn’t hold me at 2 When at 4 am my tears ran dry Failure, guilty screaming in my head and I looked up to the sky tears in my eyes Beg god to head my cries Take me instead It stopped being that I couldn’t see you smile and play in the sun And became that you never drew one breathe into your lungs at 3 When the morning sun shone And I remembered you where gone Why couldn’t it be me At four your sister crawled the floor And I couldn’t have asked for more Except I could have... at five if you could pay for a life in tears you would be alive At six it was a weird mix.. Bitter sweet as I finally laid eyes on you again a picture with a tinge of blue I was to late to fix... At seven... Please take me to heaven My hearts to sore to do this anymore.
