what makes you happy,
what makes you sad,
what makes you mad,

your pet peeves,
your secret addictions,
your favourite read,
your dreams,

your thoughts,

Are you a hopeless romantic?
Or could you care less?

Your little habits,
Your inner fears,

Why you have that pain in your eyes?
how did it get there?
Why do you let it consume you?
fear the joy others could bring?

I wanted to know every thing I possibly could about you because no one else did,  

no one else tried,

and some one should have,

I should have.

But I was too much of a coward & you were too broken,

Because one day you were there with your numb brown eyes
&
then the next you were gone.

I wanted to know every thing I could,

about *you

Pink lip-stick on the **** of a cigarette,
You breathe me in and I can't forget.
You taste like ecstasy but feel like regret,
And love should never feel like a constant threat.
Inspired by a cigarette I saw on the side of the road.

i have always been a gentle person
i walk on my toes,
i speak softly so that i'm always repeating myself
i always set my plate down slowly so that it makes no sound
i always check before i cross the street, before i make a decision
i've always been cautious

but you, i loved without holding back
with you, i had no second thoughts
i was more sure about you than i was that the sun would rise tomorrow, or that one of my legs will always be a little bit longer than the other
i rushed into your arms,
without looking both ways, without making sure that it was okay, without checking if anyone else wanted to be in your arms
because for once, it did not matter to me
i screamed your name in the middle of the night when i woke up from a nightmare,
called you up and told you that i was lost without you,
without looking around to see where i was
without checking
because i knew i was lost
without you

i never had any doubts
i'm sorry this is dumb and doesn't have a good ending yet

— The End —
