Take it back
Tell me you don’t mean it.
Show me you care.
please
Tell me you do.
Say it with sincerity.
Lay my mind at rest
With thoughts of you
Loving me
Once again.
Shai Jan 2019
Fill my head
Like a cup
with your liquid love
Set fire to my brain
fuel it with your gasoline
Leave me
Broken
Burned
And empty.
I dare you.

“please be naked”

she stands in her doorway wearing just a gown,
I walk in the house, dumbstruck by beauty,
up in her room undoing the bow, the shield simply slides down
caressing her curves, stroking down to the floor,
intertwined bodies craving the touch of the other,
joined as one in the gentle acts of love and lust,
romanticised ideals of perfection and soft rhythm,
delicate groans as two become one,
the broken poet, for the moment, is gone,
my drug addiction of you, just wanting more,
As my heart bleeds, love begins to pour.

“please be naked”.
this poem is influenced by The 1975 instrumental song "please be naked". i regularly think of this song as romanticising the act of *** and the trust required with it rather than what most songs make it today. despite having no lyrics the song speaks volumes to me and id definitely recommend it to anyone. stay safe and live well.

The tears that fall,
Mix with raindrops on my cheeks.
My sobs that echo,
are enveloped in thunder around me
I’m covered by the storm.
Blanketed by the cold rain.
I find it comforting.
I see this in many ways. It’s a metaphor that can be applied to a lot of situations. The storm could be many things.

I want a redo. I want to take back the things I said to you. I want to take back the things we did.

I want a redo. I want to avoid meeting you. I want to forget you exist.

I want a redo. I want to make us work. I want to be with you still. I want to be whole again.

I want things to be different. I want a different ending.
Things didn’t go how I wanted. Now all I am is hurt.
