All this anger, what is it for?
You used to carry the fire
of your youth,
but now you lie alone,
numb to everything
that surrounds you.
When you wake up tomorrow,
where will you be?
Will the sun soak your skin
or will curtains keep you
tucked away for another year?

Does the uncertainty scare you?

It better.

I will always be the devil
you invite back into
your bed.
With twisted sheets
and
heavy breath
I'll consume you
again and again,
each time
taking more than just
the skin
from your lusting
bones.

And you know
it doesn't matter to me
if you're broken,
because with
teeth to flesh
I will devour what little
is left.

Why is it that I find it hard
to look in the mirror?
Why am I so reluctant to take a picture?
Why is it when going through
photo albums I skip through
the pictures I'm in?

Why has society's idea of beautiful
affected me so much that I look at
myself with disgust?
When I say I'm not beautiful
I am not seeking for compliments.
All I want is to meet someone who not
only claims everyone
beautiful, but also believes it within.

I wanted to have
all the answers,
but in the end
she didn't
need answers
as much
as she needed
someone
who would
listen.

You hear her call your name
and you become soft.

You let her in
and you become water.

You drown
and you become love.

She was strong,
intelligent,
self-less,
and most of all
she was
passionate.

I love this woman.
I do.
Very much, too.

She was all I have
ever
asked for in a
woman,
and more.
