I lost my breath
kissing you
and now I'm losing it again
missing you
Ironatmosphere May 2020
All I ever wanted was
for you to
savour me
hungrily
Indulge in being
near me

Show me
how much you
adored me
how
real
all
my dreams for us could be

All the ways our
days could be
alive and
magnificent

Retrogression is not the
answer
soon I will
thrive without you

I will survive you
Ironatmosphere May 2020
I will never forget the way you looked at me
before everything changed
You looked at me like I shone like gold
You saw my imperfections and you praised them

Then you took it way
And I will never be the same
Ironatmosphere Mar 2020
And I don't know how it is possible
but I still smell like your sweat mixed in with mine

It clings onto my hair like plastic wrap
firm, but soft and colorless.

It has sunk into my skin
swallowed up by my pores
and now it is gently seeping out

A temporary alteration of my chemistry

All I want
is to be whoever it is you see
when you look at me

But that is a person who will die in process
Because if I use you to become the me I want to be
I won't

I will become someone shallow and twisted
I will need a new name
Whoever I become I won't ever be the same

A part of me is hoping that you are using me too
So we can build each other and tear each other down
in some kind of ****** up synchrony
Ironatmosphere Mar 2020
Shouldn't someone be steering this canoe?
I am flailing in the water
tangled up in the stream

Where the hell is the captain?
I yell and I scream
Before realizing the inevitable
the captain
is me
