Your pretty smile
To the pretty shine in your eyes that could light up a whole city
To the pretty thoughts in your mind that escape and breathe fire to my kingdom
To the pretty insight you used to thaw the ice queens castle
To the pretty omnipresence that sang me a silent lullaby allowing the pacification I needed to rest my head every night
too pretty to be handsome

Shards of our fragmentised words punctured the take away cups we used to drink coffee from
Slicing through the polaroid pictures of us that were hanging by a thread on the loft walls
Delicately poking holes in our clenched together palms that were as one
Until we slowly bleed out
And we were forced to surrender to suture our haemorrhages

now that I have your attention I would like to say
nothing …….
because that's how I am
I'm trying to get your attention not using my words but using my actions
can't you see my cry for help in my silence
or in the way I stare blankly at you
but really I'm screaming,
WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING ??
my voice is knocking, its knocking on the inside of my teeth that form a bony wall between the outside and my chance at freedom
freedom from the burden of carrying all the secrets that you told me not to tell
but are gnawing at my interior
scraping away my perfect sanity
silence speaks louder than words

You're everything I want but nothing I need
So don’t think I will cry at the thought of losing it
It being your warm hands wrapped around my cold ones
It being the way you wiped away the sadness from my tear ducts
It being the way you made me breathless as you kissed away the words from my lips
It being the way you would draw patterns on my skin leaving a hot trail of your passion on my flesh
It being the way you made the rain go away when I didn’t have an umbrella
It being the way you covered my eyes and I was able walk blindly because I trusted you
I didn’t need to rely on you for those things
I wanted to …..

Everything you say is noisy
Your apologies vibrate through my already aching ear drums
Making my brain cells pulsate at every syllable
So please be quiet
Don’t make a sound
Because every sound you make hurts

the frost made a pretty frosting glaze over the stiff grass
the wind nipped at my warm face and gathered at where my nose met the breeze
my nostrils inhaled the icy air particles
its winter now
it was 1 degrees Celsius in Madrid this morning

your eyes are wild
not everyone could see the crazy in them
the hunger in them
the readiness in them to devour my soul
and the readiness in me to just let you
because you consume my thoughts
you are my only thought

you could run me over with the car which is your words and I would still forgive you
you could leave me, without a trace , come back and cry those fraudulent tears to me and I would still forgive you
one thing I won't forgive is if you peel off the layers of my skin and plunge your claws into my heart and make it bleed
by loving someone else

I can't accept you leaving me
without a heart to fend for myself
leaving me in the wildness that isn't yours
