Scheherazade Mar 2015
You joked that one day I would leave you
There was a long silence like

It might be true

I never should have told you I would need you
When I knew I'd be gone when the night was through
Scheherazade Mar 2015
I'm used to it, I guess
A life full of mess
Pulling together a smile on my face
But always feeling stressed

You said, I'm used to it, you guessed
You see the monster beneath my dress
The way I show up all alone
And leave with even less

They guess, they say I'm blessed
More like a damsel in distress
The way my eyes show all my secrets
My words, always a test

We're used to making guesses, I guess
And we never take a rest
Never knowing how to move
A ****** up game of chess.

capricorn:* cover your heart in acrylics like you are art and promise yourself you'll leave after this one last kiss (you won't, you never do)
aquarius: you never stopped trying to be your own worst nightmare and this is why people find their breath of fresh air in you
pisces: something about the way shouting something off of a rooftop never feels the same as whispering it in their ear
aries: you are both a quiet tuesday morning and a tornado in the middle of april and there's never been a more beautiful disaster
taurus: you are the apology strung between two streetlights and you will never give up on finding the worst person to love
gemini: you are something along the lines of a fairytale but i think your author was drunk because this isn't going how it should
cancer: you are something of a tsunami stored in shaky palms and uncertain breaths and she will still love you with 100 mph winds
leo: you are nothing less than the scream your heart begs to let out when you feel like you're losing them and i want to punch it out of you
virgo:  
picking flower petals*—they love you, they love you not, they love you, they love you not, they love you, they know you want to die, they love y
libra: and ten years from now, you will still be falling in love with people the same way others skydive from planes
scorpio: you are more than the last "im sorry" between two people whose infinity was shorter than it should have been
sagittarius: death has been flirting with you from across the room all night long and there's a good chance that it's love at first sight

I wanted to be as
important
as that
ashtray
you tend to carry all around the
house,
not just the ash it collects, eventually being
dumped
        into
             the
                           trash,
along with all of your other
bad habbits.
I tried to replace that
cigarette
with my
fingers,
but no one will ever be
good enough
to hold your
hand.
The
                      smoke
is the only thing that has
ever
reached beneath your
rib cages.
Anything else that has
tried
has never ventured back alright.
Scheherazade Oct 2014
Like the thoughts that conjure now,
The last room I saw you in was bare and  cold
You didn't know but the devil was that bottle in your hand saying, "**** me, Man!"
But you were the one who lost control.
You've lost all recollection, on your life, you'll always swear
Your eyes hold no regrets, but wisper,
"****, I'm scared.. "
Scheherazade Aug 2013
I want to get up
and dance
with you
Share jokes
and laugh
with you
Or at you
Either way
I know you'll smile
I want to dive into your mind
and get lost
with you
Open your heart
and show you
What it's like to
see you
through
my eyes
I want to runaway
with you
Find myself all tangled up
with you
Hold your hand and
lay
with you
Or on you
Either way
I know I'll drive you wild
I want to sit down
and talk
with you
Drink and a beer
or scotch
with you
Watch the sun and
                                drop
                          
                                      down
                                            
                   ­                             low
with you
And stay up all night
Scheherazade Jul 2013
Whistle while I die
And keep your head high
Cause you were always good
At untimely jokes

Touch my skin
The way the flames lick the chimney
Burning into me with a simple stroke

Make me crawl back to you
The way you always do
Helping me forget who I am

Numb my mind
By getting me high
And let the devil play with my eyes

Keep on grasping
I'll continue to choke
As long as you love me
You can be my rope
