#taintedlove
I finally found you again
its been years but
I could never forget your
barley laced breath,
sneaking cigarettes
burning everything
but yourself
your burial only hid
the covers of your flesh
who knew that you would
resurrect
into someone I had never met
dipping himself in liquor
his angered tremble
is reminiscent of yours
how foolish was I to believe
you would ever let me out the broken
door of my existence
you must have missed this
you must have wished this
curse upon me!
I suppose its expected when a tomb
remains occupied with life
if only you would die
if only you would drown yourself
lifeless in liquor
if only you would bury me too
and leave me well enough behind.

Domestic violence in my heart
With eyes that wage a war
And lips that speak of more
He takes our tainted love and calls it art

I'm afraid to ask for more
Just in case you might leave
I find myself often unattached
So I wouldn't lose more pieces of me
I anticipated you would leave
More than you would stay
It's a belief instilled in me
That sadly won't go away
It's hard to trust people
When I trust them to leave
It is hard to depend on them
When I expect to be deceived
The love that I am used to
Doesn't seem like love at all
It feels like something you lose to
Something encased within my walls

They didn't write about this in the fairytales of my childhood
They never told me love could fade away
That it is hard to find, but easy to lose
They never gave me forewarning that my heart could be broken by my prince
Or that I could be the breaker of his
Who knew we were given such power, such responsibility?
They never told me there were other princesses roaming in his mind
They never told me of other princes who could catch my eye
Who knew of such dishonesty, such infidelity?
Who knew love was something so fragile?
As if it were porcelain it slips through your fingers so fast
To be shattered like the illusion of the fairytale love story in your mind
When you see the truth a tainted love leaves behind

Her face flooded with scarlet
her nose flushing out bright red
Did I do it?
Did I do that?
How could I just do that;
was it someone else instead?
She says three separate people
control the thoughts inside my head.
"which one is the realest" she asks.
I'm not pretending when I ask for amending.
