I'm quitting you cause you're a drug,
And drugs are bad (I learned that in school.)
You're a stimulant in the way that you make my heart race
And my pupils dilate, and my palms sweat.
You're a depressant because you blur my brain
And lower my inhibitions to the floor.
You're a problem.
You're an addiction that I'd like to be rid of.
But the withdrawals are Hell,
And drive me back to you every single time I throw you away.

Mussed-up butterscotch kisses
To the left-wards, right, then catercorner.
Page after chronicle after sometimes elsewhere,
Given the proper motivation, of course.
You make as much sense to me as a twelve-year-old in a stroller.

You're an animal, a ***** ******* animal,
And I will hunt you like the beast you are.
Maybe I'll slay you with a rifle; firepower suits you well,
Or maybe I'll end you with an arrow, swift and silent.
More than not it'll be a knife; personal and wicked.
Then I will hang you above my mantle piece,
So you can watch me sip my tea.

Hey, remember that time at the dock?
The jellyfish floating serenely beneath our feet,
Their pinkish hue, transparent in the black water.
My feet dangled off the edge, yours dangled further,
But the gentle waves caressed the jellies below us still.
They drifted by, not knowing nor caring of us,
Yet we watched their careless path.
The cool night's wind ushering them along their way.
Hundreds of blush-colored jellyfish just out of reach,
Sliding silently out to sea.

Stranded and standing stark naked
Looking longingly for lost love;
Pulling pounds of putrefied protoplasm
From your feeble foundation;
You exist in an enigmatic environment of errors.
Your words ache and your blood seethes and your mind tremors
At the offenses of time since passed.
Give up the fight; you're careening towards a cataclysmic crash of capacious proportions.

I steal glances of you.
You're so evasive; it kills me.
Every so often I think I can close my hands around you,
But you vanish into thin air.
What makes you so difficult to grasp?
Why can't I simply envelope you into my being?
I desire you so.
Please, just be still for a moment.
Stop your spinning; be concrete for me.
I didn't work for you so that you could be ambiguous.

Dependable and safe with the right words for the moment. Steadfast and true.
Chaos of the best kind. Killing me even still. Close my eyes to savor the old pain.
Arid as summer in an hourglass.
Wishful thinking in its most realistic state. Unattainable even in tangible forms.
Walls upon walls of relentless doubt ever grating against my brain.

All alone at night, I sit, plotting my plans for you.
You made me promises you could not keep, but, then again, how could you?
You put your hands around my brain, squeezing every inch of it.
But my stony, cold, forbidden walls thwarted your best efforts.
I will not bend, nor break, nor surrender to you
No matter how desperately I wish to.
"Try one more time."
"No. I'm just too tired. I'm through."

Eager innocence of youth is frost on glass,
So easily wiped away by a careless hand
Exposing the bitter cold world outside.
A frozen heart will drag you down
To a place you ought not visit all alone.
I will hold your hand
You will not drown.

You are one red, fleeting, perfect moment
Of the cool night wind whipping through an open window.
Conversation ceases as your engine roars
Around the silent, harsh curves you know so well.
You and I, encompassed by Dixie,
Sleek and hot as leather on skin.
Keep me guessing,
Red.
