I do not know how to combine the 26 letters I am given,  in a way to make you understand how much I need your essence.
there is no combination that comes close to explaining how much I need your love.
the feelings pump through my heart but there's no way to spill them on the paper, believe me. I've tried.
I've tried countless times to show you that you're the one, but words don't seem to be enough.
the lines on that are etched into my body are the results of failed attempts to make you understand.
my heart aches and my body is sore from you attempting to break me with the words you murmur. they slip through your beautiful lips laced with poison and as slide through my head and climb down my throat they twist and tangle my stomach into knots. I spend my days in bed crying on and off because you don't want to be mine anymore. you know that I'm not strong enough to let you go.
