Do you
Want me
Would you
Want me
Will you
Want me
What would make you
Want me
Why don't you
Want me
I need you to
Want me
Playing with an alternative structure

Do you want me
Would you want me
Will you want me
What would make
You want me
Why don't
You want me
I need you to
Want me

I saw myself die
In the way that you want her.
When I thought that I had you,
I was suffocating.
If I stayed and waited
And gave and pretended,
I made believe you would come to me.
But I want to be wanted.
All I was
Was used.
A tool, for now.
But nothing mattered.
She gets your heartache
And she gets your longing,
Your reverence, and sweetness.
I didn't know what I was missing.
I didn't know what was possible
Until I saw you in her arms.
I want to be wanted.
I fell for my own illusions
And let myself think
That right now was enough,
When what I wanted was forever.
What I wanted was a partner.
I want to be wanted,
But you don't want me.

I never loved me
But loved you til I forgot
How to hate myself

Smoke across knuckles
You are my private delight
I will breathe you deep
CarCreator Jan 30
Fire and red hot
Smoke you down to the filter
Please, won't you burn me?
CarCreator Jan 30
Full of riches
Full of hearts
Trust, a commodity
So easily traded
For what was never promised
A kiss of death
A millstone carried
For no reward but
My own
Self-destructive
Satisfaction
How deliciously
I cut and seared
My own flesh
Savoring
Each flaying stroke
How beautifully
My body twisted
To fit the tale
I wished were true
With wounds still fresh
From the biting needle
That tattooed the lie
On my desperate
Wanting soul
