oh god, your eyes are so pretty.
i'm not sure if you realize it.
they're this light brown,
like toasted hazelnuts.
and every time i fall into them,
i just know i wouldn't mind if
you killed me.
so light your cigarette
on the end of mine
and look at me like you have no idea
what you do to me.
so pin me to the wall
and kiss me like you're drowning
and look at me with those eyes
and that smirk of yours
that says you know you're right.
you know i'm the one drowning.
so leave tomorrow morning,
sunlight pooling like melted chocolate
in the sheets that smell like you
and break me when you do.
i don't know myself without you, and that's why
being alone is better than being with you.
