Burned

There is nothing for me here.
Just the constant reminder.
I'm alone in a house of strangers.
You don't know me.
I don't want to call this a home.
I just want to be on my way to being alone.
But I can't leave you.
I'm never comfortable with the yelling or constant worry of what I will see.
I just wish you knew for a second what it's like here for me.
But you won't take me seriously.
Making jokes about it doesn't make it better for me.

I can't hold a candle to most men. I'm trying to keep burn free but this hurts me.
I can't keep composure when there's nothing keeping me sane. The same sad face you make just makes me crazy.
Living here day by day seems
So
Arbitrary.
Not done.

You held me close,
confided in me,
exposed yourself
& told me
you were diseased
& I dissed you.

Christ,
you're the one
I should have kept.
I miss you're honesty
& warm kisses,
you.

Having her love makes me feel like I've won the lottery
It's as if no one on this planet even exists
There's only her
She's so magnificent
I fall more in love with her every single day
Our phone calls make me smile
I see her face and I look into her eyes
It brings me to tears knowing she's so far away
But we'll get to be together eventually
Just her and me
Where every morning
I'll get to roll over to her
And greet her with a kiss

breathing hasn't been this hard before
there are wild bells ringing within me
still my shy lungs
are quiet, then taunted with
smoke and yesterday's warmth

Maybe I wasn't cut out for this
Affection so effective
Its a chapter in my dreams
Maybe I wasn't built for this
A voice so potent it fuels the poison
That is love
Maybe I don't deserve this
A love so pure the hairs on my arm
Stand
The path of my veins leads to you
My heartbeat..rises like a bird
On a new day
Maybe I wasn't made to love

pawns didn't do me much good
but friends do what they can
sure, the timing was a flattering element
but what am I
a useless chess piece
quick, your queen is calling
I'll be in the border between the
black and the white if you need me

Paint me

Paint me on a paper or paint me in your head. You can even paint me lying down on bed.
I don't care where you paint me as long as you paint me beside you. Splash the paint on my skin and watch the sin begin. Paint me in red or in different shades of blue. I don't care if you even paint me kissing you. Just promise you'll hang my portraits up on your bedroom walls. Cause they will scare any shadow that comes out and crawls ~
