Oh how I miss you.
You're still here, but each day I go longer without hearing from you.
And I know it's my fault.
I'm pushing on glass.
I'm pulling on barbwire.
I make myself a fool each day I wake up. I can't get over this feeling. I'm scared you'll leave me, so I lash out. I'm scared you'll know everything there is to know about me, and be steered away by it.
Not poetry, but needed this.

Warm breath upon my shoulder, the softest sound in my ear.
The marks are red, bloodclotting as to heal the wound of our passions.

Don't heal, I beg
my skin needs proof of our love, and your touch.

The woman in white visits me at night,
She knows when I'm alone, without you by my side.
She knows when I cry, and when I sleep. She knows that I make you weep.
She haunts me through the night, the bed will soon no longer smell of you.
Only me, and the woman in white.
I wanted to call you last night. My night terrors got the better of me. I miss you and it only just happened. I dreamt I asked you what's wrong. Each time I asked, you said "nothing", even after I hung up.

What do I do?

You never really read my writing, did you?
I wish I were wrong, I wish you'd loved them.
Intrinsically.
Like I loved you so, in these words.
Did you?

Life is greed.

Love is redemption.

Stress and setbacks a diversion.

I'm trying to breathe a sigh

Of relief with you.

Can I always make you happy?
I ask myself..
These days, I'm doubtful.
I task myself, day in, day out,
to make you smile that beautiful smile just once.
If I can do that, maybe you can forgive the times I've made you sad.

If you found out that all the terrible things your family have to say about me are true, will you still
Choose me?
If I was fiend in disguise trying to be better for you,
Will you tell them they're right?
Would you still love me?
