I've spent a lot of time
putting together
the definition
of "addiction"

after sifting through,
the fancy words
I've come to the conclusion,
that I'm addicted to you.

the first day hurts,
the second one is worse.
you'll realize, he's hers
you still want it to work.

the lies you whispered in my ear
still rattle through my mind
mainly during the darkest hours,
when I lose track of time.

I wish I could forget,
yet you linger in my thoughts.
I toss, turn, and cry
hoping one day, they will stop.

Enlighten me,
let me get lost
in your stunning mind.

Teach me,
who this life has molded you into,
your previous form, and your final one.
I will listen,


Help me,
understand the reason why I'm so drawn, to you
I will pay attention.

Show me,
the places you find beauty in,
for I wish to see them too.

Love me,
and I will show you the meaning of it.

time seems to have
forgotten
about me..

for I am merely
a wanderer

allow me
to be closer to you
than anyone ever has

give me your permission
to be the one to love
your diminutive flaws

i promise

that if you let
me be the one

to lie
bare
beneath the covers
with you
that i will
mend
every segment
of your fragile heart

i promise

to never stop hunting
for the minuscule pieces
that fell under the surface


i promise

that no matter how far
you push me
to the edge
i'll hold on

i'm nowhere near
as strong
as you are, my love

but i promise
to be the arms
that will always be
open
to you
