would that I could
erase you
would that I could
wipe you way
If I could
I would
but you creep back
into my life
you find a crack
in my armor
you find a hole
in my wall
you whisper into
my silence
you plaster yourself
upon my wall
so all I can see
is
you
would that I could
forget you
would that I could
let you
go
if I could
I would
I would
I would

with hand to chest
and lips to finger pressed
I cannot move I cannot rest
.
this is how I ache
this is how I break
.
with hand to hips
and tongue to swollen lips
I explore you with my fingertips
.
this is how I ache
this is how I break
.
with heart to darkness
and lips to one last kiss
I cannot stop I cannot resist
.
this is how I ache
this is how I break
.
with hand to knee
and mouth to desperate plea
I beg you not to abandon me
.
this is how I ache
this is how I break
.
with tears to eyes
and lungs to broken sighs
I am left alone without goodbyes
.
this is how I ache
this is how I break
.

i’m so cold
I cry
and cling
to you
needing your
warmth
wanting your
touch
longing for
your arms
around me
but you stand
before me
in ignorance
not seeing
my teeth
as they
chatter violently
i’m cold
make me warm
I beg you
looking at the
warm layers
of clothing
You are wearing
you look at
me, but
you don’t seem
to notice
my tee-shirt
and jeans
my cold
apparel
i cry
and cling
to you
needing your
warmth
wanting your
touch
longing for
your arms
around me
you look
at me
as if i’m
some kind
of child
annoying you
with questions
of life
you stand
ignorant
of me
of my
cramping muscles
of my
chattering teeth
of my
freezing bones
HOLD ME!
I Scream
but as your
arms enclose
me
I finally
realize
you’re the
one
who’s making
me cold

I wait here in this
heat
so silent so
unbearable
I wait and
I retract
I recoil
I step back
you stifle me
with your eyes
speechless
i lose everything
i worked
so hard
to gain
I try to contain
to elliviate
the ache
this silence
that echoes past
my refrain
and ends well into
my chorus
I wait
I retract
I dissolve
I disappear
waiting here
for you

and you are moving too fast
you silence my heart
from crying out
and you are moving too hard
I can’t feel my feet
the night is so cold
and you are breaking me down
bending me in two
swallowing my heart
and you are taking it all away
leaving me with nothing
I’m not ready to be alone
and you are leaving me again
the same as before
just like everyone
just like
everyone
and you are leaving without
a single word
you are gone
and you are gone
and you are gone
and you are gone
and you are gone
and you are gone
and you are gone
and you are gone
and
you
are
gone

eyes are burning
from the endless
nights
laying awake
–
and waiting
–
I am filled
with desire
for something
unknown
–
and unwanted
–
I ache
alone
filled with
remorse
–
and regret
–
I long and
I long
with this
intense desire
–
and wanton lust
–
I long for
something
anything
that can put out
–
this
fire
–
but I never
know what
it is I ache
for

Ah! to crumble me
to break me down in pieces
as I stand before you
begging for freedom
what joy can be found
in watching me fall
–
Ah! to shatter me
to shard me into pieces
and watch in pure joy
as I glitter to the floor
in front of you
what rush can be found
in watching me
writhe on the ground
at your feet
–
what joy
what utter joy
can be derived
from crushing me
with your look
you laugh as you watch me
flinch away from your hand
as you raise it
to touch your face
–
Ah! to destroy me
to completely disintegrate me
as I stand before you
begging for your love
your approval
–
what pleasure can be found there
what power can be derived
from making me fall
from watching me fall
down to worship at your feet
–
Ah! to bleed me
to bleed me completely dry
–
–
–
I hate the control you have over me
