You** took a piece of me
I don't even want back

But what I do
Is you.

Appetite for the ripe,
the darkest of sinful wants.

Upon the first bite,
I am immediately drawn-
to the temptation of lust.

We love the wrong kind of people
In a bid to change ourselves

Once the love has departed
So has our old ways

I'll always keep your picture up when I'm sad
I'll always think of your face when I need to wake up
I'll always dream of you as if we never fell apart
I'll always love you 'til death does us part
I'll always adore you like I did at the start
I'll always keep your love at heart
I'll always remember to never forget

I have a brain that functions well
With the occasional destruction

I have a mind that likes to dwell
Leaves me in the wrong junction

I have a body, but more of a shell
the self-portrait doesn't look so swell

As much as I despise 'em
My features are my treasure

I must love them all
In a healthy fashion

Because I am...

Human.

Like an elastic band,
Kindness expands beyond,
I feel like it's a bad luck charm of sort.

You don't acknowledge it-
Like you should, love.

I'm taken back,
By this cold
Fact.

I hear your voice at the back
Of my head,
I feel a skip where the beat
Should be.

One step forward but never
Much progress
In that.
