Your arms used to scare
Me but now I need them to
Hold all my pieces
Rachel Finn Mar 2013
I cannot see the
Demons that had followed you here
Love exorcises

You thought I was beautiful
Until I sprouted
Emotions and
Passions
You left me
So I tugged
And hacked
And singed them
Until I was beautiful
And pure
Again
For the next
God knows
I won't let that happen
Ever
Again

It is unfair
no matter
how much love and
hope you put into
someone
or
something
it cannot
bring it
into
your
shaking
hands

I cannot
go
three weeks without
touching
you

He knows not to call me baby
When the suns gone down
To its rising
Ill be angry

He gives me nothing when I'm hungry
It's my fault when I say
Give me
Empty rather than
Starving

I know
We're the same kind
He's in love with the lights
And the sun rise
The same way I
But I
Spitting fire and light
Grabbing onto nothing
Can't hold him
When light fills his eyes
We've got miles between us
And so much time
And lies

We've filled this room to its locks
with fear
And distance
And there's a shrill ringing from
Absence of desire

Baby I painted you in my picture
And I don't want to start again
You're the mess
all over my walls
And I'm too drunk off your name
To defend

I can't quit your game
A thousand words later
I'm too drunk off your name
A thousand beatings later and
You've got
A thousand baby's all the same.

Sometimes I wonder
I you ever remember
That I am a child
In the palms of your hands
You can make or break me
At any second
You have tamed me
And taught me
And I resent that
