That night you took your smile
     and put it on my heart
Like a brand it burned
     away the hurtful words
     a hole so charred and black

With each new sun the feeling of your hand
     on the small of my back
     clasped around mine
fades a little more until
     the memory no longer
          makes me smile
     the memory only
          makes me cringe

at being so naive
     again

It's inconvenient
one needs a beating heart
when I have given mine to you.
Betrothed it has become
without your consent
to your cardiac system.
I sit here cold
'fore I have no blood
without my vascular *****.

i want you
to want to
tangle your fingers
in my dark curls

i want you
to want to
trace my lips
with your fingertips

i want you
to want to
kiss my neck
stroke my *******

i want you
to want to
turn me on
take me home

i want you
to want to
want me
in every way

Last night
your soul
occupied my dreams.
Last night
I saw
your face in my mind.
Last night
in my head
you told me you never loved me.
Last night
I awoke
in a fit of tears.
Last night
I cried
myself back to sleep

because everything
about last night
was true.

In the dark

I consider turning on the lamp
beside my bed
so I can write my words on paper
or read someone else's that are bound.

In the dark

I pull the covers under my chin
and close my eyes
pretending that sleep will greet me
or at least tease the edges of my conscience.

In the dark

creativity seems to come to life
but I push it aside
hoping I'll remember my thought come morn
when I won't have to roll over to turn on the light.

I'm beginning to see
why you never called me.

Through pictures you share
I see for her you care.

I don't feel like crying
but inside this heartbeat is dying.

I haven't thought about you in a while
now I remember how you made me smile.

Your laugh was what first pulled me in
now I've lost and can't seem to win.

You're not the first to use me
then find you loved what used to be.

So when you hold her at night
remember with the morning light

that I'll still be dreaming of a love
that I can be sure of.

I didn't think this would upset me
but now I'm beginning to see.

if i would've been the bigger person
spoken for myself
thought of just myself
been selfish
would you be here with me

if i would've thought about you
considered your feelings
asked your opinion
taken your advice
would i be here with you
