i want the kind
of love
that keeps you up
in the night -
not the one
that puts you to sleep
so you can dream.
i want the kind
of love
that starts a fire
that burns in you
until you get burned -
not the one
that warms you
like morning brew
never scalding your tongue.
i want the kind
of passion
that will die
in a beautiful mess
of tears and gun powder
and smeared lipstick
and spilled whiskey
and the shards of glass
and my heart
on the ground.
i want everything
that consumes me
so i do not have
to be
any longer.

That was some fantastic writing! I enjoyed it immensely.
I don't know who picks the Top Stories but this has to be a contender. This is so brilliantly sad and invigorating, I can feel the passionate destruction
