I barely know you
In fact, I don't know you at all.
But you're there
And you're running your fingers through my hair.
You approach me
Stare into my eyes
You're closer now
Place your feet on either side of mine.
Brush the lint off my leg
Move the hair off my neck

Stop touching me.

Never stop touching me.

Put your hand behind my head
Press my face against your chest
Richard knows it's bad
And I know she'd be mad
But I can't help but need
Babe, I can't suppress my greed.
Conversation is cheesy
But the passion is easy.

I want to you to think I'm different
And ignore the girls in the distance.

I thought of you in the shower and I hope you think of me.
I feel myself decaying.
I count the cells dying;
there goes a brain cell,
and there a lung cell,
and there a mass ****** of skin cells,
a genocide of nerves.

I sit in dirt, wearing ***** clothes.
I live in filth.
I devour sunshine
and **** apathy.

I just don't care.
I have 14 cigarettes,
an eighth of shrooms and 30 dollars of ***,
and that's only counting what's in my coat pockets.

I'm dying,
but you call it living.
I'm suffering,
but you call it the best years of my life.

Don't tell my mom where I go when I say I'm going to Liam's,
it's not that she wouldn't understand,
it's worse.
She would understand all too well.

Chug a beer,
and another,
count only the cells dying that don't regenerate,
just as the trust you find in other's won't.

Tuck me into a blanket of ****,
and kiss me goodnight.
I've been busy
too busy to write.

I'm too busy loving you to write you the love poems you deserve.

I'm too busy working so I can have money to buy you the things you like to write you the love poems you deserve.

But I'm going to continue loving you,
continue kissing and holding you,
I'm going to continue being yours.
I'll never be too busy to love you.

Who needs love poems when you're in love?
People want what they can not have.
I am fighting the urge to need you.
