Emotions are just chemical
Reactions that I wish didn't exist.
I woke up in the night and your face soothed me,
Eyes flitting in deep sleep,

I woke up and your precious arms held onto me,
Carrying me like expensive silk.

I woke up one twilight, and you were so vacant,
I didn't recognise you at all,
Your mind was at ease, your mouth the soft breeze,
You'd found happiness in your dreams

I rolled over one night, to grasp you tight,
Then I remembered that you had let go,
No pretty face, no touching my lace,
No tangle of cold feets, all
I could reach were your mean
Empty sheets.
I would breathe water
To be with you once again,
collect your fibres of being,
That were scattered like rain.

I would swim the Atlantic,
Touching each port,
To let you know,
You're in my every thought.

Carry your cinders,
That are now entwined with sand,
Stick you back together,
In the palm of my hand.

You control the seas with your trident,
That was dissolved as well,
I miss you more,
Than the ocean can tell.
Your slurred thoughts,
Compatible with mine,
Sober and cold,
Like the dry wine.

Jumbled letters schpeel
Out your mouth,
The cider sinks down,
Eyes climbing south.

Hot sweaty palms,
Pull on my skin,
Taking all my naïvety
From deep within.

Inebriated breath,
"Smile through the pain"
Talons piercing,
As I try to abstain
Tangled headphones
Knotted mind,
Messed up music,
Confused half rhyme.
Let's crease our bodies,
Like paper birds,

Let everything be,
Til we're in our urns.

Swear our hearts,
On the brightest star,

Admire one another,
From so far.
balanced, unequal, all the same to me,
Each of them forms
Of reciprocity.

I give, you take,
I deal, you shake.

Stolen my heart,
Taken my brain,
I believe I've gone completely insane.

Kiss me on the cheek,
When I go for the lips.
The both of us,
Aren't invested in this.
