never trust what you say when you're lonely

I'm loathing the pending regret in the morning
and it came.
EJ Aghassi Sep 2014
I want to love you
warmly & freely

and make the bed
in which we lay

I want you to hear me
see me and need me

I want you to tell
me that you'll stay

smiles are misleading
screaming
and pleading

smiles are fleeting,
but this one's for you

get drunk by yourself
it's easier in the end

and soon you will find
through great decline
that you are your only friend

purge thought for good
drown it in fermented grains

the aches and the strains
all the living pains
won't bother you ever again

after a night spent tossing
& turning,
sleeplessly overheating
& burning
i wake now to you
seeping through the open window

enveloping my body
caressing my skin

implanting the dire
hunger within

it all feels so out of place
but you-
this electrifying cold-
have found home with
me here, in
the room of the misfit,
as he once more strains
to open his eyes and
absorb the external

don't leave me, there's
no reason we ever have
to leave this bed again

our story is written
in the stars
clearly and beautifully

there's no reason to
leave this bed again

i'm having the hardest time
with the biggest smile
that sounds terrible, crude
awful
but
it's beautiful, delicate
pure

it is magnificent
and it burns
it burns going down
but it lifts the spirits up

years ago somehow
pushed to now

but it's real

it's genuine

it burns a little

but it has never been sweeter
oh oh, woe woe

aching in the soul
longing in the heart

those feelings that follow
those thoughts after dark

bottomless pit of
a stomach
the weight of beauty
just brings
me to new lows

and you were so beautiful, then

idealistic, radiant, understanding,
patient, beautiful
warm
comforting
beautiful

I can't say it enough: beautiful

what a strange town,
we were in

the product of the man
who never dreams

but apparently when it comes
to you I am a dreamer

& apparently the sun is
looking out for my best interest
as it pierces through my eyelids
and forces me awake

my mind still can't readapt to
reality from such fabrication

my stomach has yet again found
new lows from high hopes
yet somehow my craving lips
have found reason to smile
