Waves

Missing you
comes in waves.
I feel mellow,
I feel a rush; hitting me like a tsunami.
Nothing is ever consistent with you;
and won't be it seems
(just like the sea.)

The Ocean

Like the ocean; I am both mesmerised
and frightened by you.
more than anything; in the most beautiful
and tragic way.
You are alluring,
and wrench me,
like a ship
awaiting to
sink.
slowly
and deadly.

Corrupt Minds

The mind that never sleeps; even at rest, it dreams.

a tormented mind.

System

As I watch the blood pour,
I feel you leave my system
a little more.

Exchange

I wanted to kiss you,
but in a different way.
I wished you had kissed me;
in that same way.

Glass Souls

My glass is empty,
my heart is full.
I drink away the feelings that conquer all.
The spirits inside burn
my soul,
and soak the thoughts
of how I fall.

I wrote this one night whilst intoxicated; thinking about you. I noticed the emptiness of my glass and the fullness of my heart. And how the more I drank; the more I felt. So empty yet so full, of confusion and doubt.

Di(e)d

You said you wanted to die,
and so a part of me did.

Two souls. One heart.
