“What are the chambers of the human heart,
and how do they function?”
Ticking droplets of knowledge, slowly admit to my stupidity.
Blood captured into plastic bags, love suffocated into relationships.
It’s so hard to keep these lustful nights pumping. I think I’m running out of emotion.
What’s the point in wanting to fly if you know your only going to end up swimming?
Slicking back his hair, smoothing away
those curly locks. Not even gels torment them to stay.
Not even a lovers consequence can convince him.
Gambling with Valentine chocolates or those roses dried out and old.
Life is like a box of homelessness, we all end up behind the McDonald’s
waiting for scraps of that idea, that solace, of love that never existed.
For now all that is left in my custody,
these hands that no longer touch,
are memories of something that I can not even hold.
Actions that I can not blame on lust
and I am unfamiliar with the sound of being alone.

I'm not enjoying the single life.

i like the way the words string together. the only thing i dont like is the periods in the middle of the phrase, i dunno thats just me. it just seems so out of place. but other than that great write!

I guess I see how you see that's strange.
But when I write, it just turns out that way. See?
Hehe, fitting two sentences into one line is
just sort of a habit of mine Thanks for the comment!
