I know, I know, I know
That after my cravings have passed
That after your sweet divine kisses have faded
That after I no longer ache for you
Every single minute of every single day
That after I have no more words to write
After all this is past
I won’t want you
Anymore
we’ll just have to reset expectations
while you are still alive
while you still breath and live and smile
i crave you
it is over
shut it down.
I’ll crawl on my knees to get relief
A drop of water to relieve my aching thirst
I’ll walk, I’ll run, I will swim
I will meet you where you are
A touch of your flesh
Is what I need
My love was wasted
With our first kiss
My love was wasted
With the very next
My love was wasted
Through all my tears
Through all your smiles
And all your charms
My love was wasted
Spent at your feet
You walked over it all –
A wasted love
It’s only when we are low, that we can rise again.
I tried to protect myself but in the process I thrust myself into an abyss and my cries now go unheard.
Digging deep
To find my strength
But all I find
Is a bucket of tears
Threatening floods
Red eyes no resistance –
Fragile
Was so beautiful and soft and tender and magical and sensual, followed by the deafening silence after and I don’t care about the ghosting, I want one more magical moment, it is a pain tearing through my flesh.
It wasn’t so much that I missed and needed and craved and desired you
It was more the emptiness I suffered
After I asked you to leave
And you obliged
