Will you still love me when
I start to fall apart?
Will you still kiss me when
My lips fall off of my face?
Will you still hold my hand when
My fingers cling to my decomposing frame?
Will you still sing me to sleep when
I can no longer hear your voice?
Will you still try to make me laugh when
My mouth can no longer form a smile?
Will you still pinch my cheeks when
There’s nothing left but bone?
Will you still stand by me when
My knees break?
Will you still wake me up
When I shy from the light?
Will you still compliment my eyes when
They’ve fallen out of their sockets?
Will you still caress my skin when
It’s covered in blood?
Will you still run your fingers through my hair when
I’ve ripped it all out?
Will you still love the idea of me when
I’ve fallen to pieces?

Poetry by MAN
Muse me..Choose me...Make me one
Queen of the Moon King of the Sun
Poetic scenes ****** dreams
Words strung together showing what I mean
Scorpio mind..Heart full of lust
Lay by your side till I turn to dust
Born a fool I dare to dream
Detective solving true loves scheme
Emotions put on the firing line
Execution swift from a sharp mind
**** me..Destroy me..Treat me wrong
Use me..Confuse me..Make me strong
Give me pain I want to feel
Too much fake I want the real
Seeds of flowers I have sewn
So beautiful oh how they've grown
Muse me..Love me..Make me more
Reborn a Phoenix's heart will soar
Burning up I become the flame
Balance my emotions to maintain
Muse me..Fuse me..Help me create
A language for ALL to communicate..
M.A.N 5-5-14 My creativity reaches a new level when I'm mused..

When we fell asleep together,
I knew it was too soon, too unreal.
You don't deserve my early morning hair.

When you yelled at me,
I knew it was true passion, true love.
You don't deserve my raw, bleeding throat.

When you broke the skin,
I knew it wouldn't be the last time, the last night.
You don't deserve my battle wounds.

When you shared your cigarette,
I knew the feeling of a false love, false worth.
You don't deserve my smoky whispers.

When we talked about our future,
I knew you wouldn't stay, wouldn't tell me.
You don't deserve my limited time.

When you finally slammed the door,
I knew it was going to hurt, to be the end.
You don't deserve my happiness.

When I made the first cut,
I knew it would **** me, bleed me out.
I don't deserve to live without you.

Marly
a lot of things happen when i decide to avoid what's supposed to fix me.
i'm lost in a sea of beer and cigarette fish swim in the surrounding waters.
somehow, this whole concoction is aflame.
i wonder why i'm not being burned alive yet.
i seriously lack any sense of anything and i'm slouching and it hurts my back a lot

Let me kiss your lips,
then I'll knock your teeth out.
Let me trace your veins with my fingertips,
then I'll dig my nails into your flesh.

Show me your favorite music,
so I can break your stereo.
Show me what you love,
so I can curse it and curse you.

Make me the bad guy in your head,
and I'll become the truest villain.
Make me out to be a hero,
and I'll only fall short.

Let me show you true bliss,
then you'll never know happiness again.
Let me give you the ultimate show,
then the curtain can fall around you.

Show me your skin,
so I can rip it from your skeleton.
Show me the wound,
so I can give you my venom.

Make me want to live my life with you,
and I'll end it now while I'm alone.
Make me want to love you,
and I'll show you the cavity in my chest.

No longer can you walk me around town.
(no more golden leashes)
You can't find my weaknesses.
(no more voodoo dolls)
Touching in the dark has ended.
(no more party favors)
I won't be yours for any longer.
(no more attraction)
You can't make me feel anything.
(no more me and you)
When were you going to stop?
(no more me and you)
When was I going to realize?
(no more me and you)

Sometimes I think about walking with you.
(no more guiding hands)
You've found all my weaknesses.
(no more blissful numbness)
I often find myself in the dark.
(no more midnight memories)
Your name repeats in my head.
(no more hard feelings)
But I made you feel something.
(no more me and you)
Now I know you'll never stop.
(no more me and you)
I've realized I need you.
(but now there's no more me and you)
