I live in a house of glass.

I wash the windows,
just as I wash my ***.

I sport shredded socks,

I never admit when I am wrong,
and almost always

throw rocks.

Surrounded by burning pits
of flesh-eating nymphomaniacs,
a prison with no walls,
is the house I visit frequently-
but hardly stay long.
Michelle E Alba Oct 2011
The house I lived in was like a chorus
of five-hundred elementary school-age children,
singing with all their might.

No mention or worry
to whether they hit the right note or not,
all that matters is that they try.

The air rings with carefree melody,
dancing and charismatic.
Rhythmic- full of life, love, and passion.

The house I lived in was perfect--
in all its imperfection.

So did you guys *** together?
Was it everything you had imagined it to be?
Or while you were pulling her hair--
Could you only think of me?

I would stop the world
if you asked me to.
I would burn water and  
freeze fire if you said.
But all that you can give to me
is roommates
at best?

Would you hold my hand
if I were crying?
Would you please
just come to bed?
Would you kiss me
on the lips?
Would you just eat
dinner with me instead?
Would you whisper
salacious nothings?
Or wish me luck
on my big test?
All that you can give to me
is only roommates
at best.

Dear Lover,
I want you to hold me.
Hold me like you used to
when we first met.
Hold me like you did.
Please hold me.

I want you to kiss me.
Kiss me like you did when
passion was seeping from your skin.
Please...

I want you to love me.

No.

I need you to love me.
Love me how you used to when
you still wrote poetry.
Please love me lover.
I love you.
Please...
Hold me.

it only hurts
because i need you
to love me
like i do you
because i
see in your eyes
loving me is a
battle you despise
i felt it fade
furiously
like a majestic beast
tearing through me

it only hurts because
i love you
