I know where I'm going
You said
I know what I'm doing
You said
It's all good
You claimed
Well here we are
In a land
surprise surprise
You don't recognize.

Tiny, shredded
Paper hearts
And flimsy
Cardboard
Feelings
Bitter aftertastes
On tongues,
Licked wounds
That are not
Healing.

Souls
Like quiet,
Vacant rooms
And minds
Screaming in
Silence
Aching chests
That long for love
Stranded on
Lonely islands.

I was naïve,
I used to think love was a disease
but then I found you
and you became my cure.
The illness that became me
started to fade like the sun
we liked to watch set up on that hill
that looked out to the unknown.
The disease began to disappear
with each day we spent together
    every touch
         every kiss
   every embrace.
The remission didn't last for long;
I was naïve,
I never thought the cure could be worse than the disease.

and
i don't know
if this is me
just overreacting,
but
the only reason it scares me
when the wind causes my bedroom door to slam shut,
is because
i'm deeply afraid
that
i'll get used to the sound of people leaving.

because when she was young,

people would ask her

"what superpower,

do you wish for?"

so without any hesitation

she replied "invisibility."

and then,

and then she grew up realising

it came true.

A hurting poem
 Aug 2014 Mad
Kevin
I promised you big things.
I promised you a life.
I promised that I'd fight for you
as long as I loved you.
Despite knowing that it was a battle
I could not win,
I still wanted to show you
that you were worth all of the tears
and heartache.
Even when you left, I kept promising.

But I can't do it any more.
I'm worn out.
Maybe even broken.
I'm putting my weapon down
and leaving you in his arms.
I'm sorry.

*Goodbye.

i was a flower to you;
you kept around as
long as i brightened
your life.
as soon as i started
showing signs of
exhaustion and depression,
you threw me out
and replaced me with
a more beautiful and
longer lasting blossom;
one that made you smile
every time you walked by.
one that made your world
a better place.

i was forgotten.
wilted.
done.

Hands

every time i look at my hands

i am reminded

that i've forgotten what it feels like

to have your fingers

folded between mine.

I Love

I love when you fiend for me
I love when you hypnotize me
I love when I am your slave
I love when I have no control
I love when I am under your spell
I love when we fight in bed
I love when you lay on my chest
I love the hickies you leave on my neck
I love the way you make me sweat
I love the way you make me think you could be next
I love the way you intercept
I love the way you make a mess
I love you are there for me
I love the way you smell after a shower
I love the way you make me smile
I love the way you get mad and over me only
I love the you rest on my shoulder
I love the way I am your boulder
I love it when we cuddle
I love it when we snuggle
I love when we kiss under the rain
I love the way you give me pain
I love the way you drive me insane
I love you are never off my brain
I love the way you make me numb
I love the way we have fun
I love it when we hug
I love the way you make me feel
I love that you are my drug
I love that we can be one
I love that you are my moon and the sun
I love that you are the stars
I dislike that you are very far...
