You asked me to write a poem about you so here it is:

Hell is brown-eyed.

Today I watched him put his heart into an empty locker again...
He did it slowly and cautiously,
As if to put emphasis onto how long it's been since
He's satisfied himself and not satisfied me.
He used to indirectly claim
that I was smaller than his textbooks-
that I was smaller than his backpack, but just a more heavier weight to carry.
I never knew if he saw the strains I felt more as a burden than he did-
but if he did he ignored it because I never lost an opportunity to turn my pain into a fire-alarm.
Every day we talked about how if it ended it was worth it and
how it still made sense even if we counted days like a bombs detonating time.
His locker grew colder,
And I watched the clock more and more-
I guess he couldn't tell that
I was measuring my heartache with each heartbeat
That burned per second.
I guess he couldn't tell-
Because we talked like we knew each other.
Now I watch him put his heart into an empty locker...
I guess I shouldn't be surprised when I hear a heartbeat inside of there,
That belongs to neither mine,
Nor even belongs to his own.
Shed my blood, can you ?
Like you shed your guilt;
Or suffocate me in ,
The world we together built.
But then,
A painless death ,
Is too much to ask;
From a stranger hidden,
Beneath a lover’s mask.

So ,
Am I your Midsummer’s Night Dream laid bare ?
For you are my Midsummer’s Nightmare

And Yet,

One last time ,
Can you take away my breath?
For a ***** I am,
Who makes love to death.
And Where once desire thrived ,
Now Darkness Plays;
The lingering tunes,
Of my final days.

So ,
Am I your Midsummer’s Night Dream laid bare ?
For you are my Midsummer’s Nightmare
