Her hands grasped violently against his face as she begged for air,
But he determined she was not worthy,
A grand mistake she had made, putting her life in his hands,
And for what? Mere ****** gratification?
For he was a foul beast,
Yet he was not a selfish lover,
As the last breath of life left her she began to ******,
Closing her eyelids he whispered lovingly into her ear, "You're welcome"

You sink, even with a life jacket on,
Crying is impossible, for you cannot feel,
Everything tastes the same,
Love becomes relegated to mythology,
Even your dog frowns when you're around,
Clarity is found through darkness,
You have accepted the fact that you will never be happy,
Yet you never lose hope, for you never had any.

He silently sympathized will all the women who he had recklessly allowed to float in and out of his life,

Completely replaceable,

As if they were nothing more than a vessel to encapsulate his sorrow,

How badly he craved that he was no such vessel for her,

But he sat there silently,

Filled with doubt,

Knowing full well that it could just as easily happen to him,

As he sat there enchanted by silent admiration he thought to himself,

True suffering can only come at the hands of those you love.

When all you have is hatred,
You have nothing left to lose,
And when you are forsaken,
Your best friend is the *****,
Perhaps you are mistaken,
You can always chose,
It is not too late then,
Morality is no ruse.

You're willing to give up everything knowing full well you will end up heartbroken,
You give your entire heart and it still doesn't feel like enough,
Every minute apart feels like a thousand lifetimes, but when you're together the days pass in seconds,
Everything you ever wanted in life suddenly no longer matters,
You're acting crazy, but feel oddly okay with it,
When they're around you suddenly feel like a kid again,
Nothing you do makes sense to anyone else but you understand it perfectly.

I gave you everything,
And for what,
A few fleeting memories,
And $3.99 Hallmark cards,
Never knew my love had such little value,
And there are no returns,
My next partner will be shorted,
For I cannot get back the love I gave to you,
I know now that you didn't deserve it,
Yet the damage has already been done.

I tried to convince myself I didn't need you,
That I was better off without you,
Yet I cannot shake this nagging emptiness inside myself,
My addiction was a blessing,
I surrender myself to you.
