i can't help but hold my breath,
because as i begin to trust the clear air,
my lungs only get blacker
                                       and blacker.
when things get better they only get worse again

I wana close my eyes
& wake up next to you
I wana see your worst
that leads up to the best of you
I wana lay on your chest
& listen to your heart beat
Look up into your eyes
& tell you that it belongs to me
I wana please you
mentally, emotionally & physically
I wana make you smile
be your saving grace
kiss all over your face
& give you the best of me
I wana make you wana run home to me
& make love to me
because you love being alone with me
I want you to trust deep down in your core that I adore you
Do anything for you
I love you with all of me
I Would never do you any harm
You not being part of my world
means everything in life is wrong
I wana be your confidant
your best friend, lover & your wife
I want you to know that
where you belong is forever in my life.

like water
I poured myself into her until she was overflowing at the brim

like reinforced steel
I bridged my heart to hers and welded myself to her soul

like the sun
I filled myself with light to cover her darkness

like a blanket
I shielded her from the harsh world underneath the covers

like magnets
I orbited her aura until we inevitably collided

like a seed
I felt myself growing up from her

Then, like an idiot
I could tell she felt nothing.

my breath smells but you cannot tell
I have lost all my teeth
my tongue is rotten as is my heart

but with my mask on
and writing nice safe poetry
you can be easily fooled.

All I have is the sky
and this longing to be anywhere

the world wants your cash
your body too

wants to use you up
and spit you out

its the users manual
and no one escapes.
