This pain that draws us closer has revealed so much
I have never understood why these thing happen
The life of tension in our hearts pushing us to break all concepts
yet our wisdom tells us the truth behind what can actually hurt
To be smart, to be ethical, morally correct?

I burn you when I touch your skin
I dissolve when you breath me in
You nibble away at my heart
biting and scratching, leaving a permanent mark
I won't walk away with out a bruise
But the bruise is beautiful, because it came from you.
Is there any wonder as to why fate can be so cruel?
Spinning us along, that string of agony on a corrupted spool
I shouldn't have made our love in plain sight
I should have been quite
I should have lied about it
Something, anything, everything besides what I did
Now we look at each other with love
But it's a Tantalus love. Never grasping. Wishing to be dead.

I want to be with you
You want to be with me
I'm leaving
You're staying
We still don't feel free
I see you now
And you see me
Our filters are gone and all we have is vulnerabilities
We know what we can do and what we can't
I wish I could do more than this poetry rant
