The pain gets
too much to handle
Too much flame
And not enough candle

He painted my heart....
The colours of a rainbow,
Soon tainted it black.
I have kissed boys

Girls

People in between

But lately I have been kissing bottles

Their lips are colder than yours

But slowly I have realized that the pounding headache when I wake is less hurtful than the shattering in my chest

Yet as these toxins rush through my veins

I can't help but miss the tracing of your fingers along my skin

Miss the numbness of the world when you lie with me

But when I wake I remember that a headache is treated with an aspirin

While heartache

Well if you have a cure for Heartache let me know

when we met,
you planted seeds into
the garden
that was my heart.

with every kiss,
every touch,
every "i love you",
the seeds blossomed
into beautiful flowers.

then the taste of your lips
turned bittersweet,
but it always left me
wanting more.

your touch was like poison.
seeping through my skin
and corrupting everything that
was pure and innocent.

the flowers in our garden
began to wilt.
and all that was left was
the bitter taste in my mouth,
and the poison
coursing through my veins.

how naive of me,
to let myself become
addicted to the drug
that was you.

I feel you

I miss everything about you, is that so bad?
After everything you’ve done, why do I want you back?
I search my mind everyday for answers that never come.
I miss you.
Your smell, your touch.
I miss it all, but somehow you still don’t seem to care.
Is this real or just a feeling?
I desperately wish you’d tell me, why you don’t love me anymore.
I want to come back to you, I know I shouldn’t.
But I’m in love with you, that will never change.
Please let me forget, please let me move on.
Everything I feel for you is heightened in a sense.
Please don’t leave me, please don’t go.
But I want you to, I want you to run far far away, until I can’t feel you anymore.

Ask Elkins
He loved the way she burned;
Hot, bright, beautiful.
He was drawn like a moth to her brilliant flame.
She was heat and light,
Magnetic and enticing.
She burned away his fear and insecurity.
His love fueled her fire, fed her flame.
But playing with fire is a dangerous game;
You're bound to get burned when you taste the flame.
But he had to know the sweetness of her kerosene.
And she watched as he ignited,
Tears streaming down her cheeks,
Extinguishing her flame.
And she mourned the pile of ashes
He left behind.
