cigarettes taste like you
and I've never craved nicotine
but tonight, I miss you
Empire Jul 2019
It doesn’t take long
It doesn’t take much
Simply an idle moment
A single flicker of thought
And it’s on my mind
Hatred
Loathing
Directed within
Then in the pain
The desires start...
For escape
For pleasure
For punishment
For intoxication
For blood
For sin
Maybe I need it
Maybe I deserve it
Maybe I want it
Maybe I crave it...
So I distract myself
Until it’s late enough to sleep
I can retreat to the dark
Behind my eyelids
Where I can’t feel pain

Sometimes I get stuck
And it's hard to tell if I'm ok
But I can always tell that I'm unwell
When I get the urge to talk to you
You do not help me
You do not make me feel positive
And yet I have this urge
To speak to you
To give you the power to hurt me
To give you the power to break me
To take me
To abuse me
To use me
Until I am nothing more
Than an object
Your object
Not a person
Not a set of feelings
Emotionless
Dead
Yet serving a purpose
Useful
Meaningful
Something a little more than
The nothingness I feel

**** it,
I'm strong,
independent,
and I'm my own
******* person

But ****,
I'm lonely.

I want
a hug? maybe?
the touch of
someone who cares
the comfort of affection

I crave
that warmth.

Being a person who strives and desires and pines after and craves nothing but human connection, it can feel incredibly disheartening not to recieve it from somebody. I want but one thing? I feel disappointed. I feel ripped off. I feel like it may be my fault. Had I not opened the doors? Had I kept my own closed?

At this point I know connection is somewhat out of my hands. There’s nothing I can do to force connection. In fact, if I feel it must be forced or coaxed or manipulated, I know deep down it’s not meant to happen in the first place.

To want but one thing but that thing being so full of magnitude and unspoken rights and perfection and timing and alignment, it hurts me. I’ve set myself up for disappointment. In the same breath I refuse to let go of this deep thirst or hunger. At times I feel it’s a dehydration. It’s hard. But when I am met with Nature’s graces and she places people and creatures and spirits in front of me, along with our mutual understanding that us together carry the indescribable gift of true understanding. To our cores.. Connection
