Someone like me

by revenant

"Gladly lost in the depths of you" What depths? How am I lost? I'm lost in a puddle. I'm standing ankle deep in fluff; in disappointment. Some days, I wish things were different Some days, I wish we were two of a kind Some days.. But I fear loving someone just like me would be terrible. We would be a twister; a ball of flames-- so destructive, that we would burn everyone in our wake. We would break every bed, and smash every hope and dream our parents' had for us. We would scream and yell and decimate each other to the brink of permanent dislocation, but never over the cliff. My, what a cliff that would be.. We would break every bone in our bodies violently explaining how "right" one of us was, but only proving how fatally stubborn we really are. We would ride the waves of life bareback. We would shoot up the night, and drink up the tragedies like a drunk fresh out of a failed rehab stint, as they roll over us like rock crushers-- hair of the dog that bit you; it's good for poetry, they say. Never a dull moment for us Never a craving Never a quiet moment Never left wanting more Never a deeper sadness than what we create together But perhaps it's a mistake wanting more than you Perhaps you're keeping me from destruction Perhaps your holding me back is a blessing Perhaps I need you more than my heart realizes Perhaps it's better this way Perhaps I don't need to ever fall in love with someone like me Lord knows I can't seem to love myself What makes me think I would love my true other half?
