You answered just a little too fast.
It surprised me.
I haven't seen you in about a year,
And I am realizing I've missed you.
It surprised me.
The last time I saw you,
And the time before that,
You were intoxicated.
It surprised me.
I haven't seen you in about a year,
And I am realizing what you are to me.
It surprised me.
You are a dress without hems or seams.
I hardly know you but you are beautiful.
You are the bullet in the rotating cylinder of the gun to my head.
You dig through my skull and explode my amygdala.
And force me to love you.
You are the jam in the barrel as I pull the trigger.
I fell to the ground in realization:
You both killed me and saved me.
It surprised me.

Even after
seven years
the closeness of your skin
gives me butterflies
that dance and sway at
your
Every smile
and
Every laugh.
your brown eyes dance
with your friends
but are, oh so,
steady
with me
Even after
seven years
of rejection
do i
still gaze at you longingly
and i know that at some point
you have gazed at me the
same way
Even after*
seven years.
A fantasy
Is what you are
A made up existence in my early sub-conscious
Sometimes you're blonde
Other times
Hair the color of midnight
But most of the time
My fantasies end by one of us
Leaving the other
What does that say about me?

My sensible heart is pulsating with love,
It is a Heart overflowing with tears,
This heart that slept the beauty sleep,
This heart that dived in an abyss that's too deep,
This heart that still loves,
Still hopes, Still dreams
To one day fix hers,
and sew up the seams,
My sensible heart waits,
For her to return,
My sensible heart hopes,
That her's will learn.

I look at her and see anger
A wall built up screaming Danger

She draws me in and pushes me away
But when we hug there's nothing to say

It's like a never awakening slumber
I try not to let her bury me 6 feet under

But her pain and hatred makes me wonder
Why someone would hurt a beautiful dove?

One who used to be filled with happiness and so much love
But I can feel her sadness coming. Makes me cry

Her hate sends men running for their lives

What makes me want her so much?

Simply just the softness of her touch.

Days of Dawn
You are
The angel that I see
Flying in my eye
Your halo of innocence
Hides the darkness inside

A beautiful flower
Watered with
Tears and cold blood
Withers without
Lies of her demons

Your inner flames
Cold and unforgiving
Almost extinguished
By the pains of
A broken heart

Days of Dawn
A glass face
A glass body
Perfection everywhere

A glass spirit
A glass soul
Fragile warmth

Glassy eyes
Glassy love
Shattered like your dreams

I can't feel the warmth inside my chest,
of a racing heart or rapid breaths
is that bad?

The walls around me are crumbling,
they're letting in all the pain
is that bad?

I can't remember what sunshine feels like,
all I know is blood and darkness
is that bad?

The demons of my past and present,
swarm me like moths to light
is that bad?

My facade of happiness and lies,
is almost see through
is that bad?

I'm one step from oblivion,
and I want to take it  
is that bad?

Please give me an answer
because I can't hold on
