I hope I don't cross your mind, as your mind is a sanctuary for only the most important of souls.

Smoke gathers in the air, Mixing with the fog of this dreery night. Inhaling the chemicals I know will **** me, but who cares, not me. Alone with a bottle in my hand, Taking another swig. My tastebuds have gone numb. But who's judging, not me. Taking them inside to lay me down, Never to see him again. Emotions are no where to be seen. But who's **** shaming, not me. Vices are who we are. Embracing them are a risk. Monitoring my actions is obsene. But who's changing, not me.

Not me
He is more than my boyfriend He is my protection from harm His lips are my wake up call My morning alarm The warmth of his breath The caress of his hand He makes me feel high, Like I'm not on land. When his thumb touches my lips, Butterflies soar. I stare him in the eye We both need more. He became my thoughts I became his air. I'm not in love, I'm on my way there.

First Spark
Oh his scent, so strong It solidifies in my lungs Powerful, unbarring, wrong. Comfort came, then it flew As it granted me little custody It mimicked a feeling I once knew. Oh his eyes, so alarming Dragged me away to a torturous land Haunting, smooth, harming. Venom seared through my veins Pleased by the sensation For once, I begged for the pain Oh his voice, so peaceful He spoke his words calm. collective, but lethal. A poisoned love was in sight Forbidden by fate Despite our eternal fight.

Oh His Scent
I have a cavity. No, not holes in my teeth or any other physical deformity. But a hole in my mental well being. Caused by a sweet friendship. Transformed into an acidic wrecking ball. Believed to live in a sanctuary Safe from harm. Reality hit hard Trust was tattered. Held on a gold platter, our friendship The only problem, I stored mine in a place untouched She stored it under her bed. Away from sight. Growing stronger, becoming more beautiful than the gold platter itself. And hers Rotting away, growing mold, never cared for. Out of sight, out of mind.

I have a cavity.
Crying for each others attention, it's all they ever do. Who can be louder? Is it her, or is it you? She throws her hangers, he punches the wall. But truthfully, he isn't trying to hurt her at all. Never-the-less, she tries to win the fight. With fear trembling through my body, I stay quiet in my room for the rest of the night. I hear the words, "Move the **** out" It catches me off guard. She rolls her eyes, as she seriously doubts. They scream for each others attention its all they ever do. There is no denying the obvious tension, for that, I know is true. The fight settles down while it's just for a second, They get really quiet, Then he beckons. He pulled her near, and hugged her close. but she just stood there. I swore she saw a ghost. He loves her now, but just 5 minutes ago, he despised her He said it was time for her to go. She was hurt and battered within the day, hour, minute All of a sudden, she mattered Bipolar is the official diagnosis but over the years, shes stopped caring Fell out of his hypnosis He plays his unintentional mind game he doesn't get it. We never want to play, we don't want to be shamed. We know who screams louder, it's you. not knowing how to respond. Because you follow your own social cues.
