August sun stung my eyes as sweat trickled down my brow waiting. Anxiety and Fantasy banged around in my head turning like a picture book i saw you emerge from the blinding lights and heat waves Baby i was smitten by you inhaling deep sweet smokes from the tip of a pipe i walked a concrete line as sweltering reality dipped and swerved dancing around your carelessly moving body Baby i was infatuated by you. resting in the shadows of the day I, i couldn't breathe you stole the breath from me as you kissed me i had an enviable lust for you Baby i loved you the gentle swerves became dodges I grew impatient with you having miserable meetings over your movements you chose to move with someone else when i went to the bathroom Baby i hated you. blinded by the words burnt into my head feeling her imprint where I I was suppose to fit! Baby i hated you! i gave you my heart and you burnt it! BABY I LOVED YOU! this monkey wrench beaten me into madness, impaled by my rage I ******* hate you! your gentle touches ripped the fabric of my soul you ******* murdered me! Baby you burnt me. leaving nothing but a ****** scarlet letter i scrubbed my skin with sandpaper And couldn't get rid of your traces Baby i longed for you. i needed you. i loved you. **I love you.
