I write your name on my cigarette, light it up, and smoke it away.
I fill my lungs with nicotine,
I taste the burn in my throat,
as I try to erase every memory of you.
I want to forget your eyes, your lips, your scent,
erase every **** thing about you, and cleanse my mind.
I take one deep, long drag,
and smoke all thoughts of you away.

you told me to love all of my scars,
that they are victory marks
from all the battles I've overcome in my life.
that they are meaningful, beautiful,
every cut and every mark has its own story,
they mould me into who I am today.
because of you, I slowly learn to
embrace them, one by one; kiss them all,
now I cherish every single one of them; I love them all.
even when you, my dearest one, have begun to
add new ones - onto my face, my body -
into my collection.

come on, baby
let's go somewhere quiet
you can give me that
hard candy of yours
you know I'd enjoy it

her eyes are beautiful,
but the coldest
I have ever seen.

let your love
for me
be expressed
in the form of
kisses, darling
for it is your lips
that I desire

on her wild nights,
she smells of
*****,
cigarettes,
and
delicious sweat.

to me,
you are
an art

                              to you,
                              I was
                              a tragedy

in a garden
filled with a thousand beautiful roses,
I am the wilting one.

the scent
of you
still lingers
in the lonely air

absence
      makes the heart
           grow
weaker

we are all beautiful
even if we are lonely
just like the moon.
and even in the darkness
we still shine so bright
from within.
again,
just like the moon.

you crushed my heart
and you ripped my soul
to pieces

you destroyed
every part of me
in the most beautiful way
possible

but that can never
stop me
from falling in love

I miss that jolt in my heart
and butterflies fluttering in my stomach
feels I used to get when I was with you
Now it's just
sting in my heart
and bees buzzing in my stomach
everytime I see you

smooching cotton clouds
soars higher as burners roar
reaching wondrous heights
