He asked me to paint him
With the blood on my lips
So I began to kiss
All the broken parts of him
Ria Mehrotra Nov 2018
Do you still feel me loving you?
Heart pounding, soul grounding
Do you feel my love surrounding you?
Maybe so but maybe not because
My smile is all I have for you
You’re moving on, I’m hanging on
I’ve nothing else to offer you
Tell me once, that my love’s enough
To let me take all of you
Ria Mehrotra Nov 2018
How did I let you convince me
That who I am changes
As your perception of me does
I am who I am
Regardless of what you think
And who I am is enough

I was drunk
On ***** and on you
You took me to that place
Where I first felt my heart beat
Where I first felt my heart break
And I think you knew

I was drunk
On *****, but mostly on you
The lights on the hill
Looked like lanterns in the sky
And the city far away
Looked like escape

I was drunk
On ***** and on you
And I shared my escape with you
Now when I run there,
I'm running to you
But now that you're gone
And you found someone new
The place that was my escape
Now trapped me too
Ria Mehrotra Nov 2018
And just like that
You had me undone
Pulled apart all the stitches that were just
Barely holding me together
Reduced all the “you are beautiful”s and “you are perfect”s
To another thing boys say just to f**k
Because god forbid anyone actually thinks
That I am beautiful
God forbid anyone sees anything other than a body to use
God forbid anyone thinks I am lovable
