Nicotine

All these useless words
I'm using for you
are the bandaids
that soothe my wounds
when you aren't there
to make me feel as if
my breath will never cease to be
and my heart will never wish
to cease its beat beat beat.

Lately, I've taken the form of
anticipation,
but you know I'm
not very patient,
and my anticipation is
in need of liberation.
Darling, when we meet again,
I will lose it all,
forget my sanity;
I will *smother

smother smother
you in love.

Impatience is the impairment of patience
Where it is imperative, should be noted
That the implication of impatience
Is the lack of it thereof,
That is, patience
And not having the time to
Improve upon waiting

It's not necessarily a bad thing
Sometimes it's best to rip the bandaid quickly
Lots of impish little "imp" parts within words :)

Avoiding positivity,
You feel like dirt,
So you decide to sweep yourself under the
rug.
Hiding and cowering described as
Self enlightenment

Trying to get relief from the immense pain
that suffocates daily,
You act out with a bandaid
The short relief, blessed relief.
However great it might feel,
Only distorts the reality of effectiveness.
Sudden relief mimics an intense high

It's time to understand that all
Bandaids,
are fleeting.
Some cause more than they cover
Countless marks of addiction and desperation,
cover your skin
Come out from under the rug
It's time to heal

Some people in this world will hurt you;
others are band-aids that will help you heal.

You just have to figure out who is who.

Like a band aid, I fixed your shattered heart.

Like a band aid, I stuck too much
and now, I just want to be the scar.

Unlike the band aid, I can leave without opening your healing wounds.

And I also get to stay.
OKAH SO IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY THE TITLE'S LIKE THAT, IT'S A COMBINED TERM OF 'HEALER' AND 'KILLER' THE BAND AID IS GONNA LEAVE NOW BECAUSE HE'S ***** ALREADY AND MUST BE REPLACED. AWW :(

"Bandaids don't fix bullet holes"*


They may not fix bullet holes,

but that will never stop me from placing one over the hole you left me

after you shot me in the heart

"Rip it off like a bandaid"
It will sting less,
only for the first second or so.

Too bad I liked to take my time
while pealing the sticky material away -
prolonged pain

I ripped you off like a band aid.
Out of my life
Gone for good
But not until I knew I wouldn't need you anymore.
You took parts of me with you
Like how a bandage takes off some skin
Maybe a little hair.
I have healed.
And now, you've pushed me
Knowing I'll trip
Fall
Cut and bleed
Cry.
You pushed me knowing that you'd be able to patch me up with band aids.
And I know that I'll have to rip them off
One by one
All by myself.

Band-Aids cannot fix
All of our deepest wounds
Or our broken hearts
