He's a tsunami crashing into me
He tears all of my walls down
I hate him for it
But it isn't a bad hate
It's the kind of hate that surrounds you
Protects all of your soft sides
It can never get into you
It can never run through your veins
Never run up to your tongue to spew profanities
Because it's not actually hate at all

I want to fall in love with him

i could write sonnents
around your lips
and haikus in the
muddy waters of
your eyes

Pills as pacifiers
Bitter candy on the tongue
A little bit like licorice
But definitely more delish!

Strung out and dissociated

By a Lovers Hand

Off my medication
The silence in my head sings to me
You lay by my bedside
Whisper all your adorations to me

The sun has finished setting
It's rise has past
But here I lay awake and cognizant
Trying to ready for inevitable consequence

Lovely doesn't express
Enchanted can't encompass
But here I lay in a bed of regret
Drugged and awake

I made my choice and lay my bed
But here you stand to pull me away
A fatal attempt at best
You break the neck you were trying to save

A violent awakening to return all sense
Breath stolen by a lovers hand
Heart beat ceases to pound again
A turbulent life released from hell

Consent

I said yes to you.

For of all the desires
                                      and all the sins
I beg for nightly,

You remain above them all.

I want to taste your blood,
             to rip the skin from your back,
              to lose all control to you.
I want to ******* sins.

However, despite my pleading,
                                              I don't want you.
Not now. And not like this.

I want it to be perfect.

Every Star

A hotel stands still
Goodbyes echo down halls
Tears stain shoulders
Blood stains lovers sheets

Ten days cendensed to ten minutes
Half rush away, never to be seen
The others watch silently
Every star in the sky reminds me

Nightly ever star shines
But all stars must disappear

Goodbye to you all. All 26 of you. I'd go so far as to pray to see you again

Not Even the Universe

Here I lay
Skin on skin
Tracing my fingers over every inch of your body
Trying to memorize
Where your veins lie
Feeling for the blood pumping through your skin
As you breathe
Soft and still
My hands enjoy the pleasure of the atoms making up your flesh
Every time you leave
I fear it is for good
For nothing stays forever.
Not even the universe can outlive darkness and loneliness
