A two timing bombshell, is still a two timing ***** Forgiving and forgetting Laughing at  suicidal thoughts I don't cringe at pain I infect it with my own remedy Distilled spirits- The poison of solitude I haven't yet decided if you are a gift Or a curse Your hands seem calm enough Your lips are steady Two eyes focusing and focusing under the bar lights Calm Collected Childish infatuation teaming from your words Is this really happening? Are you really here? No, you are a figment of a figment of a figment of my imagination You wrote a love letter Copied it Faxed it Signed it with a flourish You need love with notorization Stamped And approved I need nothing but your hands But your eyes The devil of your tongue The Sharp stab of pain The gigantic cool of finite ecstacy But no You must break me down Piece by piece Marking me off on your checklist of (love) I failed I didn't care I love you anyway-   (I am a moth                                      Terrified of the flame                                   But I cannot leave it be                                 For it is much, much too beautiful)
