I like you.
Or at least I like who I am when I'm with you.
When I look into your eyes,
I'm on a different planet.
I've always liked you...
Even before everyone else did.
I still do...
And I don't know if its worse if you know,
Or worse if you don't.

Stop showing
You love me
A little at a time.

Stop saying
You care
Bit by bit.

Stop keeping
Me here
For tiny pieces of time.

Because I need
All of you
Not piece by piece.

I love
All of you
Not just some parts of you.

So love all of me
All the way
All the time.

Or let all of me go
All at once
For good.

Life is all one regret
One that will haunt me until I die

My decision to still be
I wonder if I made the right choice?

My decision to join
It is one I live with daily

My being here with out you..
That burns brighter than the rest

It is the brightest of them all
Simply because with out you, I am nothing

In The Darkness I rest at ease
The Darkness has yet to fully embrace me
It will forever be a tease

Yet I am forever a part of it, as it is a part of I
In the Darkness I am myself
Alone as I may be,
The Darkness has never abandoned me

I am forever thankful, forever in Its debt
For with out The Darkness, I would not be

In its embrace I let myself go
I let my true self play outside of my shell
With not a care who sees, I do as I very well please

In The Darkness I am always myself
It never cares to leave me wandering
Because It knows I will return

When It fully embraces me, I will finally be home

From the world
the list of things
                                                          ­                                I
want is endless
from our friendship
it is just as long
from both I learned the need to
                                                              ­                         love
from the world
the simple things
and from
                                                            ­                           you
all the complexities
both taught me
the list of things
                                                                ­                     I want
is much longer
than what I need
from the world
I learned I need
    water
    food
    shelter
and from
                                                            ­                          you
    patience
    kindness
    under­standing
I have come
                                                                ­                   to love
both for their simple ways
and complexities,
for their lessons taught,
and those I have yet to learn
I hope that both
can learn from
                                                            ­                      me too

Your smile
tastes of mint smoke.
It’s refreshing
against the taste of my tears
and the drink you gave me
to stop them.
Your eyes
trace their way down
my body
seeing
knowing
touching
every little sweet spot
long forgotten.
Your hands
melt into mine;
a connection revisited.
And for a moment
I see in your gaze
that (love lust longing) we shared.
I blink
and it is gone
in the moonlight
and blinking light
from your clock.
So I close my eyes
and let the smell of tobacco
in your hair
and the smile against my lips
bring me
to a dark connection
I know far too well.
We can be together.
Just one more time.
Just for tonight.
