Because I need
something
to scream back at my soul.

Each infrequent word you say to me
Causes me to long for you.

Every time that you ignore me
Makes me wish you missed me too.

dancing with the wind
hiding in the grass
you can easily tell what's good and what's wonderful
beyond all kinds
obviously more beautiful

looking sweet and slender
but poisonous like a viper

your scent deep down in my lungs
took my breath very fast
without even noticing
and now I'm lost and drowning

you got me defenseless
feeling so enamored

tell me, how do you do this?
tell me, why do you do this?
tell me, why do you have to be like this?

like lily of the valley.

Someday
He will forget
The bottle
And his
Reflection
Will make his insides
Scream

Shattered winds
Of vanished youth
The life drained
Definitively
From his very flesh
Pale and vacant
Void of
Everything good
He once had
In total awe
Due to the liquid’s
Draining
Power

Hollow
But sinking
Numb
But hurting

Weakness stands
At the door to where he
Once resided
It’s come for its
Fix
Thirsting for it
Burning under the
Control of
Its Addiction

But
He is
Nowhere
To be found
Lost
Somewhere else
Consumed
By something
Far more
Intoxicating

Constantly hot
Like a cigarette
Always lit

Burning up
Like the sun
Trying to stay cool
Like the midnight moon

Fierce and feisty
Sweet yet spicy
A little sarcastic
A little electric

When you touch
When you kiss
It's like magic

If you want to be my valentine, you don't have to shower me with fine wine
I would rather just spend time with you
I don't need flowers which too quickly wilt
You don't need to be built like Hugh Jackman to be my man
I don't need to get a box of chocolates, even though I like them
It would be sweet enough to listen to your jokes, and to laugh at them
I know there are more important things than money
You don't need to feel that you need to impress or be best dressed
We are already the best of friends
I just have one question  "Will You Be My Valentine"?
