How can I get mad over the fact that no one stays,

When all I do is beg to be left alone?

I still think of you.
Not in the way I used to.
But you still float through my mind.

Dear Broken,
Dear most complicated part.
Who holds my misery,
Who holds my love.

Dear Heart,

Why do you let me rise like
Vapor,
Then let me crash down in
Waves?

You're known for giving life,
But you
Drive so many to their Graves.

Why do you let me forgive so easily?
And why do you let me fall
So fast?
Heart,
Next time
Don't melt on me
Unless you know it'll last.

I've been trying
to convince
myself that I
don't
need anyone
at all.

Just sleep,

and long
intervals
of insanity.
Proud of this one. Been trying to formulate this into words for a while now. Happy with the simplicity.

You were my drug.
Everyone told me to stop, but I tried every thing to convince them you were good.

I knew what I felt was only a high, but you became the only taste I felt comfort in.

You destroyed me, but I wanted you.

You were my drug.
No matter how bitter you were, how sour, how vile you were towards me, I craved you.

I began reaching for anything to smoke just to burn your name into my throat, so I could at least feel you for a moment.

I drank until my heart and my mind became Romeo and Juliet.
You know what happened.

You know it ends.

Acid Loves Mercury
Beautiful on fire, passion,
Not for the faint-hearted
You stare at me, its danger
Usually demure, looking away
So angry, a dial

I can't help but stare
Lose myself, for a moment
Your voice, gorgeous
Drowned out by the contact
Not a moment for me usually
I have to take the time, appreciate
I love you in your passion

I kiss your lips, closed, locking lashes
Maybe head tipped back, always closed
Makes me wonder, do I kiss that well
You lose yourself in desire?
Maybe thoughts elsewhere

Wonder without guile

I love your smile,
Creases your eyes
Dark, then light
Browned by heat
Red on the fire

Emotion traps, caught between blinks
You say, your eyes show far too much
I am denied, but for anger
To look in to your eyes
Not hard to read without,
But to have the sky
And never look up
