Maybe one day
you and I
will figure all of
this out.

And maybe the
images flowing
in your mind
will incarcerate
themselves
into my heart.
I love someone,
And they will never be mine.
take my kindness
and throw it
back in my face.

Go ahead;
walk all over
me and use
me as you may.

Go ahead...
do exactly
what everyone
else does-

I'll remember
*all of it

I cannot write
I cannot find
behind the creases
of my mind
the words to fill
another line,
those words wait
out of sight
for now I
cannot write.

There was a time I believed in you
more than I believed in myself
as I found a light
that I couldn't grasp on my own
and you chased after it with me
until the light burned out
in the both of us
"Love love love, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing"
Your silhouette stains my memories;
the smell of alcohol and your breathe.

Your tacit acceptance doesn't illicit my
flaccid compliance, or silence.

I'm dying in front of you.
You weep.

i love your bonfire eyes and sweaty kisses
i love your prickly hair and dancing fingers
i love your hummingbird heart and distinct breathing
i love you
