Material things don’t entice me
Empty promises don’t  count as a remedy
Flowery words are pleasing to the ear
With apparent intentions clear

Is this just an infatuation?
An effect of my subtle imagination
This relentles game of tug of war
How I wish it wouldn’t end up in a scar

All I know is that I’m tired of this dance
Might as well give us a chance?
You have gone way past this armour
Consistency, that is all I am asking for
Oh love, it feels like I’ve just been punched in the stomache
like the air in my lungs has been replaced with poison
like my body has been taken over by some intergalactic force
as I know your falling asleep talking to  her and not me
your reminiscing and laughing with her
call it jealousy,call it hate, hell call it love
but please don’t  leave

I want to be captivating
I want to be bright
I want to make you laugh
I want to bring tears to your eyes
I want to have something to offer

That doesn’t fade with time
Break my bones;
cut my throat.
Pull me open,
learn the ropes.

Breath me in;
taste the fear.
Shank my skin;
stand and cheer.

Kick my head;
let me bleed.
Unbolt my veins;
enjoy the read.

Gouge my eyes;
punch my face.
Wrap me up
in your embrace.
Get to know me like I do you; inside and out.
And over time,
My pen stopped bleeding
But my heart didn't
i'm just now realizing
i've never really loved anyone before you
what a fool to think i have
nothing was quite as true
as how i feel about you
