falling
brisk. jagged. grainy.
your words dance
across my innocence.
"im sorry,"
mumbled. whispered.
poisoned.
cynical are those words
aiming to ****,
forcing to struggle,
eternally scarring.
once, i believed you.
thought it was real,
and you actually cared;
that's when your intentions
became art.
my body the canvas,
your words the brush.
my emotions the paint,
your mind the audience.

in•fat•u•a•tion (ɪnˌfætʃ uˈeɪ ʃən) n.
1. the state of being infatuated; foolish or all-absorbing passion.

the first time I laid eyes on you, I knew you'd have an impact on me
you'd hurt me so deeply,
so shamelessly.
so strongly and so breathlessly
and I let myself drown in you and you only.
please tell me to stay

the unknown,

perfect emotion,

people talk about wanting to drown
for days, and days
in one's eyes, so blue
like an unpoluted ocean.
I would rather walk for ages
and explore,
carefully,
deeply,
every inch of
this forest,
so deeply green
that's the shade of yours.
things i'll never say

words so mean
a confused mind would speed itself
on, and on, and on
for days,
lingering through a heartbeat
so painfully,
so strongly,
beating
through a thin,
delicate chest,
hurting angerly through all of your very own
atmosphere.

we're an unfinished work of art.
and it's curious how both of us use the word
"unfinished"
with sadness stained deep into our voices,
rising from the belief that time ruined all of our plans,
when it stands for something
that never even had a start.
