I inhale just enough to fill my lungs to the point
where they just might
“pop” but part of me hopes they do.
the hardest part of staying here
is not knowing where I belong afterwards.

It just starts with another painful cough
And then my head really begins to spin.
It reminded me of how much I'm closed off
And how I keep my feelings bottled in.
It seems as if I push people away
Like they are forbidden fruit from the tree.
But really, I want them to stay.
I want them to stand side by side with me.
I want to be independent and brave.
I can't. I just need someone else to blame.
Yet, it is still your comfort that I crave
Although, you do not even know my name.
Always being alone is what makes me scared.
Day after day, I wished that you cared

Only when the night comes
I finally realize how lonely my heart really is
mini scott Jun 2014
We are getting drunk
on sultry nights
in the park,
Hypnotized by the
wine, the heat
the laughter.
Cigarette smoke mixes
with the cologne of
beautiful boys.
The sensual scent plays,
excites and calls me
wildly and tenderly.
It craves me to
kiss his neck
and he tells me that i am ***.
Summer has just started. This poem is dedicated to those nights when you're 20-something and get drunk with your friends in a park. As strangers pass by and you're getting more and more tipsy their scent is blown to you by the breeze and it turns you on.

Here I lay, on my floor with shame.
You already know who I am,
the person I cannot change.
Your faults drive me closer,
my lack drives you further.
You, the beautiful beast.
I crave you and all you seem to be.
I'd change everything to be what you wanted, what you need.
No matter the shame or guilt you might feel in what you are..
I can still tell it will be my midnight craving.
Take a chance with me,
I could be all you've ever wanted a man to be.
We're perfect together, can't you see?

I don't want to wake this night.
Your face memorized behind my eyes.
A lie lingering into a sense of validity.

There is no you,
but within here.
Within the walls of my mind.
I can see you.
I can feel you.

You're alive.

I don't want to let this go.

Day light peaking through the cracks now,
and I'm pleading with the Lady of the Morning to delay her rise.

If only I could reverse time,
Just a second in the past.
A moment longer just to trace your face.

A sweet serenity laying in my bed.
Touching false reality in dreams of efflorescence.

I know I should wake,
but no...
Please not this time.

Just stay with me, a moment longer.
Tell me, everything will be alright..
I don't want to let you go.
Never let me go.

i crave the gentle contempt
of any Someone that won't suffer
the mindless tedium
of People things

*You've never had the thick skin to survive a real love story.

I crave your every inch
In the most innocent way
I just want to hold you and kiss you but you're not here

i would
do anything
to feel your
love

i'd steal all
the stars
and inject
their luster
in my veins
to know what
it would feel
like to be
adored by you

i would drown
myself in the
ocean and fill
my lungs with
its waves
because you
said you
fell in love
with the sea
and i would
like to have
the idea of
what it is
like to be
loved by you

please hold
my heart
in your hands
and listen to
its beating

because the silent
pattern bothers
me at night
when it wails
your name and
i can't do anything
to satisfy it's
insatiable craving

all i need is
to feel your love
for just a second
to put this
heart to rest
