tonight i drowned out the silence with the sound of your voice
i watched your hands touch the darkness & turn it into light
i felt your eyes burn holes down the curve of my spine
i tasted years of sadness in the warmth of your mouth
i felt love move inside me when your skin touched mine
please love,
don't ever stop
making me,
*feel

I fell in love with his mind
Even though it was not romantic
But rather raw and unforgiving
There was nothing sweet in his eyes
Or in the way he looked at me
They weren't filled with honey
But with something rather deep
That kind of resembled whiskey
I could never decide
If it was god on his lips
Or the devil in his smile
I just know I craved it
Unreservedly
His fingertips across my skin
His lips against my neck
And the heart shaped bruises
He left there
Were almost a toxic combination
Like raging fire
Only non consuming

But rather devouring

Day in and day out,
I can feel the wrath of your lingering skin
grasping me whole and
one day, your grip might just
be more than a ****** choke.
You write lines about me,
like a broken romance.
When the day comes,
where I will no longer
feel the ache of
self-inflicted wounds like
fire on my veins,
will be the day my
poetry becomes less romantic.

You write me like romantic poetry,
in the words you say too.
Because I will never stop
romanticizing the
most gut-wrenching things.

To the boy who
tore me in half with one
of the most romantic sayings of time
"Tell me you don't love me"
I will wish for the day
you will remember it,
as it shall lay in the ground with you
the day you decide
you don't love me.

The day you will ponder
about ideas fixated on me,
will be the only time
I'd let you lick the shameful
words you recited to me, like my
poetry,
off my lips like you really
need me.

To feel burns, on my skin,
along with traces of fingertips,
engraved into my fragile skin,
every time you write words
dedicated to me, so
romantically,
is such a shame.

To the boy who
made me such a romantic,
hopelessly and tragically,
*******.
I can't get over you*
      But I hate you.
  You hardly come around.
I used to date you when your time frame was more abrupt
    You'd show up with a kiss and a hug
  Give me the gift of love
With no glove on, just pure touch
      Pushing your button and gripping you tight
   We used to get by
You'd always take me back
  For the very last time
Stuck between whether it's wrong or its right
     Being this naked
We'd always fight and when it was amazing, even they loved it.
       From cover to cover, our bed was made up and it read like this:
      
"Here lies Poetry and her Poet, God rest their souls on crumpled paper"*
      If we make it
And our love is a mainstream instrumental, will you come back and talk to me or will you choke me on your lies,
All your promises meeting their demise in a pair of telling deceitful eyes that I couldn't draw
    The paper might rip in these hands made of straw
      But the years will drag on with me gripping two halves beyond repair trying to grasp the reality of your infidelity

our bodies danced to the sight
of the night saying its goodbyes,
until the morning light
had reached my eyes.
I believe I could smell the spring
in the air,
every time I tried not to swear.

an affair turned bitter in time.

pinned up against the wall,
I last recalled,
to feel such lust from a living room
came as a surprise.
my hands, my mouth so
intertwined with white lies,
my eyes could not see,
the affair within me.

symphonies and orchestras
played for us,
and when the music came to an end
I found my head.
I am not apologizing.

I felt the blood, rushing through me
as I swayed through a dream of lust
and alcohol,
not once with a
worry.
I am not sorry.

I have recently found out,
that I can use the word "I"
and not be afraid of
deeming "us" dead.
I am not worried.

to the raw nerve you had
to request such out of my mouth,
I applaud it deeply.
without you, I would have
never brought myself
to say
"I don't love you anymore"
I am non-apologetic.
