Brown Eyed Monster

by jfrank0816

Inhale, feel, lets the flavors collide. Suck it down if you can Every taste from your poisonous gauntlet Reminds me of me your kiss. Passionate, I keep sipping. I love you more than I love myself. You have become the reason I breathe, And you will prove to be the reason I die. My skin under my eyes loses color. It is tired from the things you have thrown at it. Trying to combat you is a lost cause. In those moments, I look into your brown eyes And try to find something weak Something human. Your blank stare frightens me As it is comparable to a demon, the devil Devoid of remorse, or guilt, or sorrow. Your words cut deeper. They are the IV in my veins They penetrate my skin And invade my bloodstream Yet, I continue to hook their machines Up to my comatose body. I have gone from having a bright smile To wearing a perpetual look of anguish. You have aged me ten years. I stare down at my hands as they tremble. My eyeballs have sunken into my head I am a ruin of anything lifelike. It is a defective disposition But can it be cured? An addiction is a pleasure is a curse That grows as you feed it. I must cut myself off from you, my lifeline, Completely.
