A special day; have
a drink on me, if you can.
I've had enough, thanks.

like water
I poured myself into her until she was overflowing at the brim

like reinforced steel
I bridged my heart to hers and welded myself to her soul

like the sun
I filled myself with light to cover her darkness

like a blanket
I shielded her from the harsh world underneath the covers

like magnets
I orbited her aura until we inevitably collided

like a seed
I felt myself growing up from her

Then, like an idiot
I could tell she felt nothing.

I promised you no pain I'd cause,
Yet tears looked so attractive
on your face.

I swore your love was all I need.
You trusted me with your heart,
your mistake.

Your dresses tattered like your soul,
Being battered by surprise
in my eyes.

How sweet that you once loved me, child.
But betrayal, my true name,
Is sweeter.

your eyes touched me
before they even knew
what they wanted

they carved your desires into me

You are tea,
serene in your surroundings.

                                                               ­                                        I am coffee,
                                                                ­           attention always bounding.

Your colour milkish pale,
creamy optimism.

                                                               ­                              I am taken black,
                                                                ­                                bitter cynicism.


Two sugars,
to match your disposition.

                                                               ­                                     None for me,
                                                             ­       I'll maintain my grim affliction.


                                               We differ so much,
                                                     it's obscene.
                                                  
     ­                                              But in the end
                                               we're both caffeine.

And over time,
My pen stopped bleeding
But my heart didn't

I want to spread your legs
across my sheets
like waves across a beach
and get you wet enough
for me to dive on in
until the depths of you
I reach.
