You gave me so much
Showed me to cherish
Taught me to perish
You gave me so much
I loved your touch
White with warm arms
Unable to harm
I loved your touch

Things that turn
Tend to burn
Ties that were held together

You gave me so much
Showed no other will fit
Taught me I'm an addict
You gave me so much
I loved your touch
Now you hold him
I'm empty within
I loved your touch

Who could have anticipated this
So much love and a bloodied fist
My bestfriend is the one who holds your kiss

we're all replacing,
refuting and not facing,
that we were replaced

I'm scattered -
The shards of glass are spread all over.
It's battered -
With nerves throughout my head.
The tapping never ends,
I lie here, still unhealed.
Time holds no concern
For what I discern.

Here it waits not for me,
Emotions have fled,
Composure's but dead,
So I lose more sleep.

Ignited by the cold
Sizzling stirred bones
Fleeing from my own
Tattered castle of thorns
Over and over
In the same old scorn
Lying still & consoled by
My talking head

Festering into the truth
Of a faded fabrication:
Digging the dirtied root
Of consumed, calloused elation
Over and over
In the same old scorn
Lying still & consoled by
My talking head

"I could be that person," I said.

He stares at a screen,
Hesitant to call;
To say what he means,
Would make her fall.
But if his words prove true,
Love would meet a leave.
You see, love splits in two:
She & his dream.
