predator
hunts
   prey

while
i
hunt
your
   heart
.

bind my wrists with barbed wire
and tell me you love me
hold me hostage with the hope in your eyes
andd if you ask ever so, not nicely..

i'll reach into my pockets
and
trade you some sanity,  if you give me your love.

crawl back inside your ribcage
rattle your bones
and

**try to
breathe.

i think i was born
cursed
with a lack of love
for
people
who
want nothing more
then to love me.

you fly with wings stained with crimson
catch flight as quickly as lungs fill with air.
it's only natural
for you
to leave people so breathless.
but you stole the feathers from my throat
and there's no tickle on the back of my tongue.

Dear Raven,

**I can't fly without you.

we     *****  


me.

you see me on the streets
i see you driving by
we pretend we are strangers
and we turn our backs to each other
as if dancing a forbidden dance.

only later
in the cover of darkness will you call me back to the alley way
so we can **** like wild animals
and play with all our broken parts.
i always wondered if your body ever gets tired
of dancing the same dance
if
you ever get sick of chasing the same feeling..
or is it just primal..?

natures way of telling you
that your purpose here on earth is to reprouduce and nothing more.

you make it look so easy

making love.

you seem weightless
even though you carry so much on your back.

and i,
i am heavy
my Intestines are full of questions
and i swallow bricks
to keep
them
down
.

i lay there
empty eyes staring up at the ceiling
as you kiss me
and ***
your body tired
you make yourself a bed
next to my bones
and collapse in a heap along side my skeleton.

with your arms around me
your hands entangled in mine
i smile
but
i have never felt more alone.
