The continuous rise and fall of his chest
synchronized to my heartbeat.
My head, gently cushioned
between his collarbone and shoulder blade.
Our body temperatures reaching common ground;
I have slowly melted into your skin
past your entangled veins and nerve endings,
straight into your bones;

Force a grin and agree as
blood trickles off my teeth
then break my word with cold blades.

Trace the rugged path anxiety leaves
up and down my patterned skin
the ****** monster leaves me warm and wanting more

Sunkissed brown stretched across

my deepest desire;

But soon I will be counting

one, two, three

pointy white

protruding trophies.

In my hand I hold your heart
the cold rock you left me
after the punches were swung
and the blood was wiped off our skin

In my pocket I carry
the ring you gave me
when you promised me tomorrow
and failed to follow through

Yet in my room the only light that shines
is his, for me, with love
And my dreams are filled with sounds
of wedding bells and baby rattles;

I'm scared that this will end
our smiles fading, skin bleeding,
And you leaving me visible broken promises
that I carry burdened

Finger tips
softly tracing heart beats
Slowly dragging me deep
Into a world I don't deserve

Head slipping underneath
Lungs filling quickly
Possibilities

A single sentence
That's all it took for my heart to stop
A single insignificant moment in your life
That has ripped my heart in two
And now I choose
Him or you
Him or you

Their minds refuse to pace themselves
Their hearts refuse to wait
Their faces split in twos one day
Their souls once pure do taint

Their goals will slip
Their dreams do shake
Their honesty no longer exists
Their lying
Their cheating
Their struggle for power
Their need for attention from anyone

Their morals have changed for the worst
Their pants have turned to mini skirts
Their study dates turn to bush bashes
Their 'never shall I ever's' turn to 'always'

They all turn into the things
They swore they would never be
Once they go through high school
