You

You are tearing confessions from my mouth,

reactions from my flesh,

fights from my fists,

blood from my heart.

With your eyes alone

sometimes I want to break the wall between us,

let you in and watch you destroy me.

.

You poured misery into me

let it simmer for a while

and now it's time for you to taste

what you have created.

.

You are beautiful like a song,

Ugly like a scream.

But beneath your pretty bones,

you are lost from within.

I want to dig inside the fissures of your soul,

pull it out,

dump them at your feet

then devour your expression

for your pain shall taste so sweet.

.

You wear your lies,

like a tie;

too beautiful to remove,

too elegant to resist,

too tight to breathe.

.

I wish I could rewrite you out of my life,

but all your pages are highlighted,

dog eared and thumbed to death.

I can no longer read you,

but you are still my favourite poem.

.

You kill me with your eyes,

burn me with your smile,

bury me with your indifference.

The weight of my love for you,

buried me so deep,

I can no longer sleep,

or eat,

or meet my own eyes in the mirror.

.

How sweet would it be,

to look into your eyes again and see,

if I am killing you like you are running me.

.

Love is a battlefield,

and I think I just fucking died.
