I knew when I told you all my deepest secrets -
The ugliest parts of me that I never allowed anyone to see.
I knew when you told me that I was alright -
"You'll be okay," and **** near took my breath away.
I knew when I screamed your name, muffled syllables
Into my pillowcase as I cried out in pain.

I always believed in love,
That 'happily ever after,'
'Love conquers all' *******.

But now I wonder where you went
And how I'll ever fill that void in my chest
When all I know is you
With your teeth on my neck,
Hands scratching lines down
My back and all I see are stars.
They glow in your eyes
And your nails feel like knives
When they trail down my spine.

So move me, baby,
Make me scream your name until it hurts
Like the way you hurt me.

My room smells like smoke and my bed sheets all reek of you.
It's hard to sleep with your scent filling my head,
like some kind of euphoric high that I never asked for.

Maybe I should have been more vocal.

But I like the nights that I spend with you, though few and far between;
Like a breath of fresh air, but there's smoke veils everywhere.

And maybe, maybe it's nothing. Maybe I'm projecting something out of nothing and I'm wrong about everything. Maybe, maybe.

Oh, it's probably nothing.
It's a fluke, you're a phony.
I'm just a fool who falls too easily over cheap whiskey and the stale smoke from menthol cigarettes.

Isn't that how it always goes?
let's play a game of 'how many poems can i write that mention smoke and cigarettes?'

I will write poems about you and those will be the ultimate kiss of death.
I'll carve your name into my skin - I will bleed for you to prove my worth.

And I bet even that won't be enough for you.

I bet you won't be satisfied until I breathe my last breath
With your name on my lips.

Will you want me then?
Will I be worthy then?

I'll haunt your dreams and then you'll see.

Rise from the ashes and emerge in the night -
"Do you like me now, honey?"

And then I'll steal your light.

— The End —
