If you were there for me
as I was there for you
I may have loved you
  more than I could bear

But with your flimsy heart
  you loved the picture me
the picture me you loved
with all your selfish needs

But you make me doubt again
whether I understand this love
or just simply love at all
i wish we'd stopped when i asked you to but our hands
were heavy with alcohol / or just you. you said i smelled of whisky
and desire and i didn't say anything you cared about / we swapped memories
and in this version it's me, doing the pushing and
pulling and cutting and we make up. we do this to ourselves / to our dogged hearts / 'til our tongues go red
from screaming.
things are harder than ever

We all have our own mazes
each a different complexity

but why is mine
  a single enclosed square
all diamond, and no door

Just a hole below
To wonder another's maze
Forevermore.

She sees me, after I see her,
Aquatic blur.
Graceful, adept,
Hair, water swept.

Distorted features,
Adorned with creatures.
Observing my boat,
Master of float.

Moon beams dash,
Without a splash,
By my side
For one more tide
A poem about a mermaid

Those three words

Enough to push me past crying
You send my heart flying
Realizing how much I feel
Greater than this unexplainable seal
My hand embraces in yours
Dancing, the touch flours
Blossoming in every motion
Awakening this sleeping passion
This absolute, deep connection
This endearing confession
Showering me with how much you care
That you're willing to share

I love you
The three words are actually
"I brought food"
:P
Our pride
Is our luscious dish
We make it more spicy,
more pungent
No compromise
with taste, never
It was there
Caping off
What we wore,
Shared and
What we exposed
To the world
Everything was trash
In the gutter
And our ego
Floated like a straw
On the surface
Designed by it
Nature is never revengeful
And jealous of anything
It rather teaches us a lesson
And wants us
To redress our deeds....
I fear
That no one would know;
When I'll die and lay down;
They'd just let go

I fear
That when I stop caring
That's when you'll start;
I know how hard it is hurting

I fear
When my tears would stop
Yours will start flowing;
Then momentum would suddenly drop

I fear
When I stop feeling
Is when you'll give yours;
Senseless dying

I fear
When I start speaking
Truth I try to keep;
You'll start leaving

I fear
My heart split,
Love detested;
A thousand slits.

I fear
Wounds felt;
Blood spilled;
Damage dealt

I fear
Scars that may be seen;
Say words that sting more;
Even to eyes never keen

I fear
That you'll never see this

I fear
That you'll never notice

I fear
That you don't know how much I want you to be the one to save me;
How selfish.

I fear
How much I fear
How much it hurts
How much it ravages;

I fear
I'll never stop fearing;
Without anyone knowing,
*How much I need saving
Asthma and depression and heartbreak really are a good mix huh
