I can't breathe the air
Between your fingertips
It slips like words
Through clenched teeth
You say my voice shakes
When I'm angry
Well yours
It shrinks
And yet we wonder
Why our voices don't carry
Perhaps
We are deaf
To our own demise

she stepped into the room,
drunk with her dreams,
her imagination filling
the brim of her possibilities.

she looked around with hope,
with all the choices swimming in her mind.
but-

where were the unicorns?
mermaids?
happiness?

disappointed, she sank down.

and there will be a time where she will fall,
in loss of hope,
in loss of all;

but she shall be victorious in the end
and although the room
was not her dream,

she allowed herself
to be carried away
Of all my sins I'd say the best with you.
From the ***** and the bars.
To the ******* and late night cars.
I've never been addicted to anything.
Until you.
So now I spend my time itching and scratching.
At this body draped in skin.
Just like every sin.
I wish you would have let me in.
Now I'm not worth a dime.
And I've spent all my time.
Writing you these ****** up lines.
So now I'm back at your door.
Begging for more.
But I know what is in store.
Laying broken on the bathroom floor.
I'm not sure what my problem is. Letting someone get ****** into my head. Letting them get the better of my feelings. I know better. But I couldn't help it I guess.

we were
a tornado of feeling
of love
and of lust
but you
left me
lying there in the debris
while you
whisked away to your
next target
