You and I
Are water and salt:
Needing one another
Separately,
To live,
But dying of thirst
If taken together.

A meandering mist
leaks from your
barely parted lips.
I am in awe
at the slow motion
spectre.
If only my open mouth
could catch it,
perhaps it wouldn't haunt me so...

The promise you made
to love me
means more than
the promise I made
to love myself
About everyone in my life, ever.
pet
lift your chin and smile please
you have no idea how gorgeous you are when you smile.
:)
four blinks, to ensure myself of my surroundings
my jeans seemed cold and unsure of it belongings
inside, lay metal even colder then my denim
even sharper then your punishing words
even more sickening then your venom

quick twitch and a deep breath...
I look up but can't hold up my head;
in the sink I see red.
my mom, she's asleep in the next room
but I'm here sweeping up my feelings with an emotional broom

I dont remember why I did this?
but my wrists sure do remember
you see, I did this cause I thought I'd feel better
instead I'm here with regret I have to clean up before morning

cause If I didn't, they'd know
know I'm crazy, know I'm sick
know that beneath this skin lay a blade of its own
ready to burst out and find a new home
in you, you inconsiderate *****
One month;
Thirty-one days but sixty-two I love you's.
One for closing eyes,
the other for a morning surprise.
...but, maybe I lost count,
for when the moments you were down
I slipped one in underneath that frown.
Three words spoken in serene meaning;
even the buzz of the city calmed to hear our hearts beating
and I still see those thighs leaving
two separate worlds, but being together is still more intriguing
So, I pray for our days together to never end
cause if it did, I wouldn't be able to mend.
Your the only one I love,
^ hence all the stuff above ^
Please don't play
with my heart,

I only have
a few pieces left.

This is not
hiding away,

I just don't want
to take any more of your crap.

Allow me to slip
into the darkness you created.

Let me
chase shadows.

I once used to run
with both my legs tied together.

Now I just lay down
wherever it is that I stop.

Please don't play
with my heart,

this is no longer
yours to keep.
Exhausted by my attempts to be happy. If this is where I am destined to stay, so be it.
