cutyoucutyoucutyoufrommyheart
Sometimes I love you so much that it hurts.
Sometimes I want to fucking cut you - so deep that you bleed out all over my feet.
Sometimes you make me ashamed and guilty and young.
Sometimes I want to crush your fucking bones under my heels and tear your flesh with my teeth.
Sometimes I feel nothing toward you.
Sometimes I mock you + your pathetic ways.
Sometimes I wish that we had never met, despite our pre-disposed paths crossing time and again.
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.
Sometimes I feel too hard, sometimes I feel too little.
Most of the time I want to stop feeling at all.

Are you waving or drowning?
It's sink or swim........................

GLASS
Why do you always see me as "on" when all I want to do is hide.
It hurts that we can't get past this - but really, neither of us are above or beyond it.
I loved you, I hate you.

for fear of failing
Could I possibly ever fall in love with you?
Am I holding back or is it just-not-there?
Could I ever go through with it?
Will you resent what you love - eventually?
Will you ruin me - like maybe I want you to?
Can you break this open and take the pain from my chest?
Would my confession send you to your death?
Can you save me from drowning within myself?
Will there ever be silence inside of me?
Would you ever forgive me for this?
Do you even have a choice?
Blood.
....she....speaks....
And my heart is still aching.
All these months gone, in one mere encounter.
Watch the minutes of my life - light, bright, sight away.
Paralysed by a fear of the new, the unknown, struggling to stay afloat.
Deeper and deeper I regress - into myself.
Into my hurt.
Into my head.
This is going to kill me. [andImgoingtoletit]
Let's see blood and be done with this.

CTRL+C CTRL+V
Don't, please baby, don't.
I can never be happy for you while you're with him.
You wouldn't be happy for me anyway. Without you.
Neither are you.
No, you're right. I'm not at all. I'm fucking appalled, mortified, more so disgusted.
Does he make you happy?
Yes, very happy.
Did I?
Some times. Not at the end. Neither of us did.
I love you so much, Charley Girl.
+ I, you.
You are a part of me.
So is he.

[The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord lift His countenance upon you
And give you peace and give you peace
The Lord make His face to shine upon you
And be gracious unto you be gracious
The Lord be gracious gracious unto you
Amen]

WHITE WASH
palms liquify - strain to look into my hooded eyes
[it's so dark in here]
blink away the salt+ crash through these solid walls - pull me closer to your chest
[.d.e.s.i.r.e.]
I'm looking away - staring at the white walls + wishing myself blind
I"m blinking away tears and 6 years of resentment.
I'm holding my breath - just let me sink into you + forget the waves crashing inside of my head
There's just not enough silence to make me still.
[how can I swallow this when I can't even breathe? I'm lost in you, so lost in you.]
[how can I swallow this when I can't even breathe? I'm lost in you, so lost in you.]

COTTON LAKE
leave your mark
you're permantely elusive to me
i need something to remember you by.....
when I wake and you are yet again, gone
Floating up and away.
I am dissolving
falling
everything I once resolved to give away
now awash in black, grey.
push harder, deeper,
make your mark inside of me
i want to scream for you .T.O.U.C.H.M.E.
pull me against you - hold me tighter, longer
breathe me into your skin
and swallow me whole
i am restless, turning, aching for you.
it's never enough to quench my ravenous thirst.

SICKCIS
I am with someone that loves me. adores me. Tell me the most beautiful and loving things all the time. So why do I feel like I WANT more. NEED more. It's not that said person ISN'T giving me enough. I've always had this addiction to fucking things up just when they are getting good.
I'm trying - I'm trying to be content. To not search through the crowd for eyes looking my way. I'm trying not to cry on the phone when my ex gf phones me crying herself.
I am so sick of myself.

Feeling the time pass me by.
I don't know who reads this anymore. I don't realy give a fuck - as far as I am concerned, if you read my shit, you're looking for trouble.
My ex is dating another girl. I am still in love with her. Which sux becuase I know the girl that she is dating + think she is pretty gross + ugly. Ugh. I can't stand her.
A friend of mine died on Saturday morning. I figured out last night that I was about 3KM from where he was when the accident happened on Friday. It really pisses me off because there are other people in the world that DON'T deserve to be alive. He on the other hand, does. He was so GOOD + kind + caring. I've phoned his g/f every day since I found out. She's really struggling. They got back together about three days before it happened + he was about to go to Melb this week to see her. Fuck the world. Seriously. It things like this that make me think God either does not exist or is a complete cunt. His brother had to fly back from Tokyo to be there when they turned the life support off. I fly back to Brisbane [I'm in Adeliade] on Friday morning + his cremation + wake is on Friday afternoon. Dave is going to take me. I was going to leave here early if the funeral was earlier. It hasn't hit me, being in Adeliade, around my family, it hasn't sunk in. I really want to find the picture of him + Mehaf at the Overalls party at my house. He was wearing my bright bannana yellow overalls with a huge grin on his face. That to me captures everything I knew about him. Fuck. I can't imagine what his family are going through. I feel sick to the stomach about it.
In other news, Dave + I booked out flights to the Us. I had a momentary spin out + almost pulled the plug, but I know that I DO want to do this - especially with him. I've fallen for him so much over the last two weeks. Since my birthday pretty much. There is still hesitation there on my behalf. It is so different seeing a guy. There are silences that i am not used to. Space and time is so different. It's hard to explain - obviously if you've had a gf vs a boyf you would understand. Sometimes it makes me feel empty.
I'm freezing. I need to catch a bus home [to my sister's] + I have no idea how. Ha.
Life could be worse.

RAVISH
And I become confused, disorientated - it has been hours since I kissed you - hours since I tasted your mouth upon mine
Hours since you laid your hands upon me - face turned toward me.
Opening your heart, letting down the walls - vunerable and ravished
Maybe you left your trace on my skin - imprinted upon me, yourself so that even when I wasn't near you, I would remember you.
The ghost of your touch.
I don't know how to forget you, and trust me, I've tried.
FOR-GIVEN
These wrists turn,
Your eyes are glazed, laced with disapointment.
Bones are easily broken, time can atest to this.
Hearts heal - I can atest to this.
Forgive me, my love.
Forgive me, this broken promise.
CUNT
Fuck you for not caring that this is the biggest thing I've had to face + I'm facing it alone.
Fuck you for wanting to live with me when you needed an out then not even respecting me enough to tell me that you didn't need it anymore. You fucking cunt.
Fuck you for being an alcoholic.
Fuck you for being a drug addict + all round failure.
Fuck you for being nothing worth looking up to.
Fuck you for hurting me.
Fuck you for not trying hard enough to make this right between us.
Fuck you for dumping on me when YOU want.
Fuck you for being a two faced, lying bitch.
Fuck you for touching me.
Fuck you for creating so much drama that EVERYONE is sick of you but are too afraid to tell you.
Fuck you for EVER coming into my life.
Fuck you for spelling my name wrong.
Fuck you for making me doubt myself.
Fuck you for your guilt.
Fuck you for your manipulation.
Fuck you for being male.
Fuck you for the five years I've wasted loving you. I fucking hate you + wish you were dead.
Fuck you for lying/cheating/stealing.
FUCK YOU FOR BEING EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE.
Fuck you.
CHI CHI
Disasterous + unwarranted.
Cold flush a poisonous fever flows, ebbs+ fades away.
What is this fear?
Anothers mouth - anothers eyes.
You said I look so pretty when I cry.
VIABLE AIR
Your weight upon me, pressing me down, downdowndown
your heart beating - into my chest - out of synch with mine
a kiss upon the head, three spoken words - my name the punctuation.
the bridge is flooded and I cannot return home.
This city is blanketed by the sky, heat oppressive
we stand amongst three nations of people
I am breatheless, the heat robbing my lungs of viable air,
whispering into your ear, my final words - iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou
My lips on the pulse in your neck
breathing you into my lungs
you surround me, around me....
iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou

BILLOW.
Dizziness won't pass before your return - see me sprawled upon the hard wood floor
gasping and wet from memories that collapsed my lungs
A viscous assault to the senses, ribs creaking, cracking - snap, snap goes the green stems.
[can you hear them tearing apart? your anger is wasted on this]
This dam is breaking down
God Damn - Breaking Down
trunks of trees and bamboo bridges are sodden
pushed upon this hand rail - blocking the easy flow of fresh water
that I tramp through - returning from you.
I walk home in the sunshine, straight from your bed
I sleep in the best of your presence
a safety beyond a history of violence
a safety - beyond your grasp
It's the same old story
watch my eyes - no tears?
I won't cry and you think me hardened
you've no idea,
you've none.
This is no victory.
I can break this - I can billow this timber
swell with water
I can break this heart - just watch me.
[with light there is hope]
LETTY.
A breath of me fills lungs beyond capacity - alot to swallow
Inhale the possibility - of becoming fulfilled
an addiction beyond my years and beyond your grasp
I could fall in love with you.
If you would only let me.
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
Chi Chi.
You will always have my heart. One way or another. I think in time, a long way from now, we can see one another in another light. I love you. So very much. It still consumes me. You are the most beautiful person that I have ever known. You changed my life. You saved my life from destruction again and again. You changed the way I loved. You changed my mindset. You helped me and healed me. You showed me that trust can exist. You restored my faith in humans. You sewed me back together from every tear that he had made inside of me + I made on my own skin. I can't thank you enough for that.
I miss you. I love you. I hope that you're ok. I hope for the best for you. Because you deserve it.
Wake me up if you need anything. xx

KISS CHASEY.
CONVERSATION:
"Oh"
"There is another one"
"Maybe they're playing chasey"
"Kiss chasey"
I fell a little further underneath those stars for the second night in a row.
Lips upon lips - kiss chasey.
DELVE.
Can I go back on everything I've worked for in the last 5 years?
The past continues to rear it's ugly fucking head and punch me in the chest, breathless my heart leaps and become sickened with the thought of those hands on another. Yet, I shy away from tying myself down. I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst. Has anything really changed in me at all. Can I take it for what it is and learn to not take this for granted. I find it so hard to trust, the nicer you are, the warier I become. Jaded with a hatred that once choked me. This stupid fucking broken heart that I carry around with me, previously strewn across this city.
Soon, it will all come out. I'm waiting for the reaction.
I am drowning from the rush of blood to my chest.
Put your hand to my heart and apply some pressure.
Can you feel the starlight lingering in my blood stream from the evening prior?
They fell amongst the dew and anchored themselves into my heart.
I'll adorn my walls with your youthful traits, tag your name on my heart.
End every sentence with a full stop.
Take it as it comes.
Hope, and with hope there is life.

SWOON.
Arm's length - drawing breath.
I like the way you hold me - left handed - stranded in the rough waves of your tender heart.
My body is quickening, liquefying
A callous softened - a shoulder turned toward my small embrace,
and you, warm skinned, quiet voice - make me swoon with gladness.
Slower than before - + it's taking a hold of me.
You're taking a hold of me - and I like the way you hold me.
Tuesday, April 7, 2009
GREY.
[tell metostoplookingIswearIwon'tchangeathingthewhitehasfadedandIamfullupofgreygreygrey.]
You took my whole, my entire hole.
Lit the flame watch the white burn.
You filled him up and pushed him out.
I saw you double, wither from my hold
Now you're empty.
I've paid my due-I rescued you.
It's too late
Screaming won't won't cut these white gold rings.
Slave, slavern.
A grey hood.
Hides the red. [heartpinnedtomychest]
Replace my black with your white.
Replace my fate with your life.
SOUL.
Pondering on superstition that it will take part of my soul.
You can have it, it's worthless to me.
It's all fucking worthless to me.
SUFFOCATE.
So when I feel empty, hollow at one in the morning, Stifled by your hand on my back and your breasts flush against my bare skin, I've only myself to blame.
I've only ever had myself to blame.
SLEEP.
I am so tired and I can't sleep.
I am so tired and I can't sleep.
I am so tired and I hate you.
I am so tired and I can't see.I am so tired and I can't sleep.
I am so tired and I can't see.
I can't see.
I can't sleep.
Fucking kill me.
The screaming inside of my head won't stop.
I just want it all to stop.
Everything is nothing.
LUNGS
I couldn't forget you if I tried
Not Enough.
Time.
To Breathe.
I'm moving to live in the Lungs of Europe
Kiss me goodbye, my one true love.
IT IS.
It's not the people that cause the problem, that leave ripples within the soul of others.
The people that have nothing to live for.
It's the people that feel too much, too hard, too often.
It's the fragile ones.
It's the ones that scream for help - + the noise is deafening inside their own head.
It's the people that ARE loved, cared about.
It's the people that will be missed.
It's me.
FIRE.
I am still plagued by him. It makes me think of Jennifer and Jack and the way she killed herself. I would do it for him. Because of him. One last time. I will never have him again + I am broken for life.
On Monday night I lay with my nose in someone's neck + my lips on their pulse. It was the first time since her. I didn't sleep once the entire evening, but it is the closest I have come to falling in love with someone's smell. The closest I have come to thinking that maybe I can get on with out her.
Then I think about this morning - + how I was not panicked at all. I stood, watching the flames, thinking - I can let this go. I can go back to bed now + it will all be over. The pain, the cutting, the hiding out in my apartment lest I see her. It would have been so easy to let it take it's own course and take hold.
Just imagine.
BUSSES NO BUSSES.
This morning was one of the "others"
The pit in my stomach - it still hits me in the heart when I wake up and remember that you're gone.
When does it get better?
Have I not healed at all?
Why am I still crying?
I am surrounded by loving friends and it cannot fill this emptiness where you once lay.
After everything that you put me through at the end.
I still miss you more than life itself.
Am I dying slowly?
Or just preparing myself for death itself.
BURN.
fingers that flow with gold ribbons
the softest of caresses
and the sweetest scent - a glimpse of heaven
milk skin white teeth
white hair - white heart
full of light
and sculpted gaze.
I cannot live like this- you burn me - you blind me.
{I would rather not live, than live without you Chi Chi.]
CAFFEINE
drag yourself from your bed and the caffeine hit won't hide those bags
you're dragging round town with you
City Centre but you're still feeling alone
enough is enough and you're not it
you're crying yourself to sleep and wasting your time
to love someone who has a frozen heart is still love - all the same
She's the same as she always was when she slit her throat three days ago
Where are you going to sleep tonight?
I know you're craving her sliced arms.
Where are you going to sleep tonight?
You can stitch up the pieces but they'll come back apart
you can't sew fast enough to hold this bitch together.

HOPE.
Just when I was least expecting it - it rushed up on me this afternoon and threw itself all over me, just like a new puppy, with warm puppy breath and hot sandpaper tongue.
Saying - I love you - I'm here - I love you - I'm all yours.
Friday night was a wake up call. I need to STOP. I don't deserve to feel like that, like this.
I love - too much often enough. I sabotage, I dramatise, I break easily.
I have trouble letting go, letting off, letting it be.
I have trouble with you, like you have trouble with me.
It's strange what can trigger hope - optimism -perseverance.
Seeing someone at a bus stop - talking to a stranger.
Listening to a song - learning another's life.
Just BEING.
But hope is what I have.
Friday night was a complete write off - and now it's Tuesday.
It's now, not then.

WHITE.
Hold yourself above me
Drive away this emptiness that guts me
Blind me, drown me in the whiteness of you
Cleanse me, I feel so tarnished with the weight of this.
Stumbling, blinded by headlights, crashing to the filthy floor.
Walking - enter dark street, enter restless, careless, love less.
Hopeless.
Friday, February 27, 2009
DRIVE
I see you, pulling into your drive, knowing that you dislike cars behind you,
So I cry + break + hope, that in my emptiness, that you may feel whole.

TWIST.
White heat bursts through my chest, travels down through my stomach and ignitnes between my thighs. I am twisting, burning, melting at the seams. Candle wax past it's thresh hold. I am twisting into you. My mouth wet and hot. I am twisting into you, as you are twisting into me.
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
MIRROR.
Incurable. Incorrigible.
You want Romeo and Juliet, someone to die for.
You want what you've once already had, you've had what ruined you for years,
ruined you for any others that came your way.
You want Bloodlust + blood rust
A token of your appreciation, a black eye for your troubles.
You want victimisation, cruelty, you want to die for something, some one, some time soon.
You push your nose into my throat and inhale, breathing me into you,
"Shall I walk you to the door, Beeb?"
I stiffen my body, I want you gone - I need to be alone,
I step back, stiffen my mouth, my head screams "LEAVE"
As soon as I have you, as soon as I gave it up, I want it back.
I don't want this, you, anything.
I am tired of want.
A glimpse in the mirror and I take four steps backwards,
Really, I just want to be alone, without her I am nothing.
CONVERSATION.
3:57PM
So, how have you been?
Ok
Ok? Just ok?
Yeah - you know.
No I don't know - that's why I'm asking.
Well, I've just been ok.
Hmm - I don't believe you.
Well I've missed you alot.
Hmmm.
How have you been?
Yeah, really good, I've been working really hard on this Fashion Parade and it is making me feel alot better about myself. People are being really supportive.
I'm really happy for you. So - how's your love life?
Ha - yeah as complicated as ever, you know what I'm like, I get close enough to someone and the next thing you know, I freak out and try to ease things off.
You still miss Ellie.
Desperatly. Excrutiatingly. Horribly. She is my phantom limb.
Have you seen her?
Not as much or in the way that I would like. some days I think I hate her, but it's just bitterness, she taught me to love again. I don't hate her, I love her, am still IN love with her.
Ahhh - so you have met someone?
Yes - More like some few people....haaa.
Tell me about it.
Are you sure you want to hear this?
Yeah, not really, but I think it might help.
How, by hurting you more?
Hurting me, making me realise that you don't feel the way that I do.
_____, I'm
No, tell me, I need to hear this.
So I was dating ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I thought that you had met someone.
What made you think that?
I hadn't heard from you.
That wasn't why.
Why then?
You know why.
I'm sorry about what I said last night.
Yeah, well it doesn't matter now.
It does.
Why? It doesn't make a difference to me. You're my friend. I can't
You don't want to be with me.
No, I don't want to be with you.
Ahhh.
I can't...
Can't what.
Give you what you want. I can't BE what you want. It's not me. I wouldn't be being true to myself, or you for that matter. I will never be in love with you.
The way that i am with you.
You don't even know me.
I know you enough to know how I feel.
You want me because you can't have you.
I want you because I love you.
4:22PM
So what are you going to do?
Leave, I'm leaving.
Ok.
What?
don't you think that's a bit much?
Well I can't keep living like this.
Like what?
Unhappily.
Then change it.
I can't.
You can't change what?
You, I can't change your mind.
No, you can't change my mind. It's not YOU, you know. You in particular. It's me, wanting something in particular.
A female.
Yes, a female.
A particular fema\le?
Other than my ex? No, not really - I'm just drifting along. Trying not to hurt anyone else.
I'm going to miss you.
Yeah, I'm going to miss you. You make me laugh alot and we've been incredible.
I wish,
Don't.
Sorry.
It's ok - I have to go now though.
Do you need a lift?
No, I'm meeting some friends.
Ahh - do you need a lift there?
No, but thank you.
4:38PM
I love you.
I know - Goodbye. Thank you for coming over.
do you want to have dinner later?
No, I can't. You know I can't.
Ok - well.
Bye ____
Bye Charley. I love you.
Bye ____

UNTITLED.
MY FAN IS CLUNKING AWAY IN THE CORNER,
PEN ETCHED ON MY HAND,
I am full up of pain, full up of Vodka, there's too much at my door, breaking it down.
All of my sheets are ruined, coagulating, calculating, calloused.
I miss you so much that I've forgotten what it is to feel,
So I break my skin to remember - it does nothing to bring you any closer.
You're a million miles away, one street away, a life time away.
This is killing me.

RUINS.
So I've gotten Turpentine happening, with the help of a lovely girl. That should be enough, right? Wrong. The hole in my chest is ever widening. + I'm keeping her around because I can't stand the thought of being by myself, knowing full well that being by myself is the only thing that is going to make me feel any better in the long run.
So, there really is no conclusion, other than I am a fucking retard and I am pushing the boundaries harder than even I know better than to do. It's going to snap, how much more will she tolerate from me before she walks away and I have to start all over again? I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't be the one to "ruin" her, as she says.

GLUE.
Sometimes I think I see you. A glimpse of black hair, bobbed. Indie dress with cons and a rolley in your hand. It's impossible though, wishful thinking? You don't even live here anymore. Maybe I should get on a plane + find you. Bring you back with me? Maybe we would hate one another? God knows I've broken enough hearts lately. Maybe I should leave and never come back. Sometime I know that I will see you again. My heart will jump and my breath will stop and you will smile + walk over to me like nothing has happened, like nothing has passed between us, terse, passionate, bewildered. The things I gave up for you seem so trivial now. It all seems so trivial now. I will be safe in the knowledge that I will never, ever in this life time undestand anything about our relationship. The games you play with me. The way you control my physical responses. You're the hardest button to button.
Sometimes I look for you, knowing safely that you're really miles away.
Sunday, February 8, 2009
VEINS
I won't be to bed for a long time now, but you could sleep to envy the dead.
Dreams weren't so tempting until you found me, floundering in my own sick head.
Suffocating in dreams that make you sweat, puncture your sleep, wet your sheets.
I am the best of both of us at fucking up the right, it's taking over, a guiless smile.
All the rosaries in the the worlds above my bed won't bring me back from messing with the dead.
Friday, February 6, 2009
BLOODLUST
Raise The Curtain, Begin The Show.
I'm sleeping in my own blood caked sheets, sobbing in the shower, to breathe would be wonderful, but seemingly too much to ask. I'm lying to make you think I'm ok. I'm lying to make myself look in the mirror. You're getting older now, you should be past this. The razor feels so heavy in my clenched fist. The mud and blood on my feet coagulate and the Earthy shades of red and brown appease me. The hole in my chest widens + the dam breaks forth. A phone call from a million miles away and another life time won't save me. You won't save me. I can't save myself. The hole widens, creaks open snapping ribs + I plunge, headfirst into the old, destructive, bloodlust life.

Worthy Worry Weary Waiting.
I'm not a prize to be won. Neither of you are better than the other. Do you think that you are? Do you think that you could be? Once you've won, what then? I'll be yours? I've never been any ones. I don't trust and am not to be trusted. I don't even love myself, how can I love you?
I am awash with guilt. I am awash with pleasure.
I am forcing this too much that it's going to break.
What the fuck can I do?

You know, I don't feel any relief at all. I thought, well hoped, that I would. I thought I would feel it rush through me like venom in a snake's mouth. Anaesthetising me. Coating the words with numbness. No such luck. I feel remorse, sadness, but no relief. I still feel torn, as though I have made a mistake. Either way - I didn't want to give up either of them. I didn't want to turn my back on either of them. Oh Uh Huh Her Hurting.

The Crust Of Mourning.
The streets cast shadows on the street lights. Darkening their halogen bloom. I trip over tree roots, cracking through the pavement. It's not so dark that I can't see but I am rushing home, to an empty house, exhilarated with all that I have achieved tonight. I beat the monster that is my own mind and managed to escape. Rushing back to bite the hands that feeds me, an abused dog, forever loyal to it's master. She says that I am a sucker for punishment, I respond coolly "Perhaps then, that is why I fell in love with you, after all?" Evermore Chasing Blind Dreams.
Now there is someone else here, sharing my laughs with me. Sharing my bed, my dreams, fears and best of all - my HOPES. When I woke up next to her, for a moment I was shocked, anxious, for she is beautiful even with a face full of lines, imprints from my pillow. Her hair fanned beside her, Wide doe eyes. There is an innocence there that repels me, makes me want to protect her from myself and the darkness that is inside of me. The things that I have seen, the things I have experienced, have all become the very things that I wish to protect her from. She touches my arm and smiles. I feel dry and still want to sleep. But she is pulling me back to reality with her mouth, her eyes, the smell of her. Knowing that she was here, with me, ME, made me want to shout. Her burnt pink skin, expelling heat that I can feel from the other side of the bed, escaping from her arm that wraps me close to her. A heat that I find neither oppressive or uncomfortable. A heat that I feel both externally and internally. A heat that consumes. Mouthing Peace.
This city is dripping in memories of you.They are inescapable. It's been more than two years. Since I touched you, since I kissed you or mouthed you name with any kind of ownership. It's been so long, but I remember everything. Your smell, eyes, mannerisms. Your body, your breathe, your bravery. I've forgotten nothing. The angst, the abuse, the accusations. The love, the hate, the blood that was shed and the bruises hidden. The fucking teeth marks that remain on both you and I to this day. The things, utterances that came from my own mouth, to push you to the edge, to make you cry. To HURT you with. I remember them all. It sickens me, and I wish that I could forget. Close my eyes to it all. I wish that I could see you one more time, touch you with what love I have left for you. You are inescapable, in my blood, the very oxygen that I breath, you are the cancer in my lungs and the nightmares in my head. You are the one, the one, the one. I wander the streets, wondering if it could ever be OK between you and I, if one day, I will be happy that you are even alive. Your cold gaze tells me otherwise. I am yet to go a single day without thinking about you. It has been over four years and there you are, familiar and foreign. Justifying My Compulsions.

Liquid Heat.
I like to hear things that remind you of me.
Inanimate objects that make you think about me.
I like that you think of me at all.
I wonder, often - what is it that goes through your head?
I wonder, wandering past your street, what is the reason behind it all?
The kisses and heat and phone calls.
The day long silences. The ex factor.
Everything spins when I am with you,
Time flashes past and there is always somewhere else we have to be.
I'm working on, working up to telling you it's over.
I'm working on being strong, being forward.
Confessions spill from your mouth aided by your one true love.
Red red red wine, that stains your lips - my throat burns with Vodka.
You tell of your broken heart, how you know mine is in the same condition, perhaps worse.
I blink in the dark, starring at the ceiling, "perhaps" I reply. Your body moves, rustling the sheets.
You body heat melts my strong resolve. Your mere presence, weakens me.
Loneliness is the silent killer.
You tell me laughingly that you think I am your favourite.
The smile travels all the way to my finger tips and I touch your face, "ache"
And I don't believe a fucking word of it.
I am not a sole traveller, journeying through the YOUniverse.
