Curtains
Alex Love Dec 2013
Diaphanous curtains hang keeping us separate
I see you and yet you are so far away
All I can do is scream helplessly, save me
and then, trembling wait, hoping that you will stay

And you must be laughing out there in the crowd
Your mind cannot bother you there in the distance
You're trying to fight hoping that it will pass
Until you come knocking again in your trance

It's terrible wanting that which you can't have
And yet at the same time the feeling is marvelous
The waiting and hesitant touches and glances
And then in our carelessness we just forget

Your kisses and touches are not searching pleasure
Your fingers so naturally lace between mine
And then in the morning it fades like a lost dream
For days, weeks on end, we pretend that it's fine

Why did we get lucky enough to enjoy this
When it is clear we will have to move on
Because we both know that this twirling euphoria
Is something that cant possibly last very  long

Madness
Alex Love Dec 2013
It's off this madness that we feed
Our thirst quenched only by desire
Today we'll let the carnage bleed
While we twirl downward towards the fire.

It burns society with ease
As people scurry all around it
A faceless mob eager to please
A shallow pool to **** the numbness.

She passes through the crowd alone
She doesn't stop to hear the whining
She doesn't want to hear them deond
On about life and love and dying.

All she can see is through the fire
A man so desperate for her touch
So dying just for her desire
A simple glance would be too much.

Facade
Alex Love Dec 2013
Perfection echoes to the world
As you bring razors to your wrists
Your friends all think you are insane
But they don't know your hidden twists.

They've never seen you sprint or scream
To find refuge from what is real
They've never heard you slam the doors
While blood flows out to let you feel.

They'll never feel the blade's sweet kiss
A feeling you now crave from madness
They'll never see your sweet relief
When ecstasy can cute your sadness.

They'll watch you slipping day by day
And won't attempt to interfere
When l this is a plea for help
And all you want is them to hear.
Trigger warning.

Separate
Alex Love Dec 2013
I thought is could forget your smile
That I could breathe without your touch
But now that it has been a while
I see that I expect too much

We were never two separate souls
We were two bodies with one heart
But you could live with those huge holes
That nearly tore my life apart

I miss you every day, but nights,
I cannot sleep I turn and cry
It's so hard to turn out the lights
Knowing you are no longer mine

And even though I know I tried
It's hurts to think of you and him
After I held you when you cried
For him to touch even a limb

And every day l still sit back
And am reminded by the night
How much without you I must lack
Because it hurts too much to fight.

London
Alex Love Dec 2013
The asphalt warm from summer rain
The air stil crisp from that last storm
It bites our toes as we run barefoot
Our bodies melt and lose their form

We are now one, soaking up sunlight
In these old drunken London blocks
Our feet will flutter over bridges
As we touch flowers, trees, and clocks

Who fared about what he tomorrow
Today is  all we'll ever need
So we keep running- it's been hours
It makes no difference who is lead.

Капли
Alex Love Dec 2013
Слезинка таки на щеке
Теперь вода
Мне тебя так не хватает
Я опять одна

Капли на окне рисуют
Холодно душе
Я живу без интереса
Я хочу к тебе

Я от света устала
Закрываю глаза
На колени упала
Я тобою больна

— The End —
