Soft shriek where the pain hurts
Loud scream when your words hit
Swift kick to the chest when I know that you meant it
Playing over and over in my mind like I'm on a cinematic hit list.
But I miss when we were quiet And absent  we cannot thrive after calamity and we cannot live hell bent
And not when the days that we spent were full of romantic torment
I wanna touch between your tendons
I wanna scream into your arteries like I'm in an empty tunnel and it echoes back into my sleeves
DONT GIVE UP ON ME
DONT GIVE UP ON ME  
DONT GIVE UP ON ME PLEASE
and don't... give up... On us..
But if you did. I'm sorry it wasn't enough
And you couldn't hold on
And you couldn't choke up the words to tell me you were already half way gone before I woke up.
And my eyes popped open like the hiccup in our path to where we stopped and where we picked up. I guess I slipped up and I let go it was my fault because I stepped up before you even got off the tight rope.
We fought fire with fire to the point of no return.
Why are you screaming when I was the one who got burned.
