Elysium.
That’s how she looked.
Her eyes
Lit up my world
Like great quasars
In view of her cosmic smile.
Hell.
That’s how she felt.
Her touch
Corrupted my light
Like poison to the touch
And the taste of wormwood on my skin.
Empty.
That’s how she left me.
Her distant voice
echoes silently
In my broken mind
Traveling through the void of my now hollow soul.
I am become death.
Christopher Jul 2017
She was my symphony.
But every piece
Of this orchestra
Was out of tune.
Somehow you knew I loved the noise.
I found pleasure in the cacophony.
She was my love.
I gave myself to her
in ways I wish I never did.
But you can't change the past.
But you can't forget it either.
You may have left me
but these memories haven't.
They haunt me.
The thought of you
Is what goes bump in the night.
You plague my dreams.
Hell truly is the reminder of you.
Every scent, touch, or memory
Sends me deeper into agony.
You've left me in pain.
You've left me broken.
You left me.

You hurt me.
I loved you.
I should have known.
I should have known.
That the broken love couldn't last.
That I couldn't satisfy you.
That I wouldn't be enough.
I'm never enough for anyone.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I'm broken too.
But it's all because of people like you.
You hurt me.
And I'm still the one sorry.

She was kind. Her smile lit up long lost love letters into pure Lullabies. She was pure. She loved deep and her eyes shone bright. She was the quintessential example of ecstasy in exegesis. The words of war were so worn around us that we carried them as our exigence. So long had we carried on this destructive deconstruction of our misconstrued masochistic connection. We connected in the backseat and in the street but hardly ever over words. She hated me, yet I was all she had. Slowly however, things weren't the same. She fought more and cared less. I knew she didn't love me the first time I found out she had sought herself in someone else's flesh. Those words ripped through me and rent my heart into a thousand infinite fractals swirling around into emptiness because that's what I was. Emptiness. She loved me like a black hole and ****** out my insides until she was sated like a parasite and then she moved on to the next guy. I stuck on however, I thought I could love her, I didn't want to be happy, I wanted to be hers. So slowly I siphoned off my soul to her as she consumed the callous conscience that I slowly succumbed into giving. I wonder if she even thinks of me. I think of what she turned me into. You turned me into you. I consumed lovers and wouldn't stick around to see their rehabilitation. Destruction. Perfect, exceptional destruction. And so I burned, and so we burned, and all those who got close enough to feel the heat from my sparks got incinerated. I was a ticking time bomb of confessions and regrets and mistakes. Then you came in. You broke me. I fell so deep in love I was lost at sea in the ocean of your soul. I swam in the ******* pleasure that was the blue of your eyes. I fell asleep to your voice and never have I felt so connected to a soul who didn't love me back. Your constant edification of this esoteric ecstasy left me so deeply dependent on your love I found myself in a lack of sleep without your sweet symphony of angelic arguments. I fell in love with your toxicity. I fell in love with the pain. Perhaps I don't deserve love. Perhaps I don't deserve happiness. You still love him and not me. I just wish I wasn't so broken. You were kind. But you killed me inside. So here I stand, an empty excuse of a lover. You told me you'd stay for me. Now all you want to do is leave. So here I stand, an empty excuse of a lover. You're leaving me, and in some ways you're taking my soul with you. So here I stand, alone. Alone and Broken and Empty.
This poem is about two of my exes who ruined me

I awoke to missing you again. That's the 5th time this week and it's Thursday. I don't know how im supposed to not miss you. I envision us in the future. I envision us walking hand In hand down life in some great ******* fashion or parade of pomp and maybe due to my gross negligence I can't see the irony in this false envisioning. But darling I can't help myself. Your eyes shine like new hope on the horizon of some luckless shipwrecked sailors desperately clawing their way to shore. You light up my life like a lighthouse guiding my boat to port in the darkest of days. Your smile is the story old sailors tell harkening back to odysseys when wars were fought over women like you. As if the beat of your heart is reminiscent to the beat of war drums of colossal armies leading insurrections against the turn of your tide. And that laugh. Concourses of angels could hardly sing such a sweeter melody. Your voice when you sing is a sweet symphony. And never has there been something so soothing or melodious. Your soul intertwines with mine as we surf the cosmos. As we push off, into this existential race for meaning, I've found mine in you. Your smile lights up galaxies. Your eyes shine like quasars. You are my galaxy. I envision myself wrapped up in your stardust when I kiss you. When we kiss it feels as though the enigmatic force of two lovers ripping into each other is nothing compared to the colossal crash of never ceasing emotional duress into the sea of our salvation that I find in your lips. For you, my darling, love is our salvation.

Her
I mourn my ex lovers like a funeral is in procession.
I love my new lovers like a wedding reception.
I myself am broken.
Yet I still love you like I'm brand new.
But darling can you not see the cracks of my kisses?
Do you not feel the holes in my love letters?
I'm all worn out.
I'm all used up.
I'm...Broken.
Yet you love me as if I'm brand new.
Darling I will love you with all the passion and fire I can muster
For you treat me as some hero on a quest to vanquish this depression.
Every mark I leave on your skin will be a monument to the war we waged on our depression.
Every kiss that catches your tongue will be a painting mixed out of remembrance for this unfettered passion.
Every touch that brushes against you will be an insurrection in my head as I choose between morality and your desires.
Every 'I Love You' is a loaded gun and ******* I feel like pulling the trigger.
Because darling, I want to love you like a road map, and leave marks on every place I visited on that long journey up to your lips.
I love you
