I need you. To break my heart. To leave me torn to shreds. To expose my nerves to the harshness. I can not bear to do it. My brain holds on to the thoughts. And texts, And memories. I've held on so long now, I barely feel my fingers. Please! I need you. To break my heart. Or save me.

I need you
I'm seared, The red of passion drains To dark, dusty black The lingering oxygen teasingly close. I'm tired, Hacking coughs And over worked from nothing. You rubbed your eyes at the burning glare Of energy untamed. And now you leave When only my coals remain.

Coals
Nothing else can compare to The feeling of someone loving you An interesting mix of Pressure to be worth it And Relief that you aren't so bad after all.

The Love of Someone Else
The toxic smoke of your words Fills my lungs My stifled response leaves A foul taste on my tongue The heat of you seared my flesh And now I'm charred Brushed aside like ashes I hope my dust Fills your lungs That every forced word burns Your parched throat Because only my tears can Soothe the ache And you can't have them

Living
I don't know where I'm going And I'm starting to realize that's okay. I'm coming to terms with the fact, That life is a long, winding, unpaved highway. And no matter what. I can't let go of the wheel. I'm coming to terms with the fact, That I don't need to know. I just have to keep going.

Coming to Terms
We made eye contact. And it was a gentle brush. As if we were merely acquaintances. As if my feelings had gone unsaid. And I know the awkwardness is just me. Because to feel awkward, You would have had to care.

Eye Contact with a Stranger
I noticed his hands today. Nimble and full of promise. Wicked and appealing. I sat nearby. Flustered and unfocused. Each movement teasing me. And he sat, Unaware of the emotions he provoked. The thought of his hands. What they could be capable of, Swirls through my mind even now. And I tremble at the thought, Of possibly finding out.

His Hands
I've never thrown a temper tantrum. The thought itself it not unappealing. However, I've never lost control before. The idea of surrendering to an emotion is unfathomable. Because the question is: If I relinquish control, Will I be lost forever
