you scare me, with the way that you say you love me. you shake my bones til their own souls rattle , each time you call me yours. you put my stomach in knots so god **** tight, when you whisper sweet liquor soliloquies to me under the newborn sun. why am i so terrified, by the way you love me? for you don't hit, scream, or manipulate, you only have ever shown me roses even when i deserved weeds. just the idea of someone loving me as much as you say you do makes my entire body quake. i hear your quiet sighs when i flinch as your hand skims mine trying to intertwine them. and at night when you hear my seismic tears hit the pillow with the faintest thuds, you always ask whats a matter but i fall silent each time. each time. each time i am so god **** weak i cannot even orchestrate the possibilities of words worthy enough to bring to light the hell that dreams behind my lips and the nuclear war in my head.   i see them, i see them, i see them, the hungry protectors and warriors of my mind own battle they hit the ground with the force of cruise liner, i see them drowning in my cerebral cortex, and then i see you. and i wonder how you got in, why you even wanted to exist in the shitstorm of a brain like mine. maybe i started this war, just because I'm too weak to let the gold of another mingle with my pennies. and it is such a ******* shame that i hate myself too much to let you end the war in my head, and it is such a ******* shame that i hate myself too much to let you drown the hell behind my lips.
