Hopeless, afraid
Cold and distant
Bleak instant
Piercing
touch
kissing
its way inside
Gravitating
away from bliss
Almost reaching
the abyss
Wavering away
from security
Into your safe
oblivion
Leave me
Leave me
Leave me
wavering
Loveless, tarnished
Tainted love
I’ve died for
Avoiding, coping
Tainted love
I’ve died before
Leave me
waiting,
to the sound
of me begging
Leave me
wavering,
to the sight of me
caving in
You’re the one
reason why
I don’t get to dream.
You’re the cause
of my sleepless nights—
of my restless mind
wandering,
wondering
if there’s a slight chance
you’re awake too.
Even if we are
on the same page,
distance is never
paper-thin
I envy
your tears,
for they are permanent
inhabitants
of your eyes—
for they caress
your light crimson cheeks
and debouch
into your lips
You may have
broken me and
taken those fragments
away with you,
but you’ll be the one
to always wander ruptured—lost.
You will have everything
because you took
the best of me, but
you will never stop feeling
like something is missing.
You—
you will always be
reminded of me
each time you
break a heart,
each time a shattered mirror
stares back at you,
and when you finally realize
that my pieces will not fit
into any other puzzle,
that’s when
I’ll be complete.
You can
kiss the hurricane
with your eyes closed
and still
find yourself
lost in sight
You leave and
drink your pain away,
I’ll enjoy your company
when I fall
asleep next to
your sorrows.
I don’t know whose lips
you’ll be drunk on
but I’ve grown
accustomed to the taste
of lies and liquor—
just console me
if I wake up
hungover.
I can’t tell you
apart from sadness
The rain
that you caused,
I don’t want it
running down
your words.
I want it to die
on my lips,
I want it
all for me; and
even though
you’ve caused
bigger storms
I still want you
around—to hope
there’s a rainbow
after I clear up
She might
be sharp
as a needle
and hanging by
a thread,
but she’s just trying
to sew her heart
back together
I’m willing to
take a bullet
to protect you,
even though
you’re the one
holding the gun,
and pointing at
your own
Your absence
made things pretty
clear
You’re the greatest
finding
I have
lost
I made her heart spring
She made my heart fall
My hopes are out
the window
I hope they learned
how to fly
