i wonder
if you will ever see
how gorgeous you look
as tears slip down your cheeks

i see it in your eyes
the way they falter
as my gaze
brushes along your face
i hear the crack
in your voice

your forced smile
breaks my heart

sterilize my mind
you
are an addictive habit
maybe if i chew gum
with the flavor of you
i can beat this addiction

you are not a rose
i would never compare you
to something so fickle
and temporary
you are a piece of
broken handcrafted
glass
misunderstood
dangerous
but beautiful

take away my ability to dream.
so there is one less reality,
in which,
you break my heart.

please bite me.
sink your teeth,
into my flesh,
and drink up my anguish.
consume my agony.
drain me,
of the pain.

**** my veins dry,
until I am hollow,
and all left to do,
is fill me up,
with your love.
