I can love you from afar
Only until it makes me sick
After that, well, who knows...
I do,
I'll still be trying
Pushing, "prefusely"
And it'll be breaking me.
Skin cracked
like glass, of windows
never washed,
for fear of losing your fingerprints.
Dried out,
as deserts, introverted
picking at my averted eyes-
keeping your imprint
out of sight, and out of mind.
Mouth shut,
locked and sealed with time
I won't speak or smile 'til your return;
I'll never part or lift my lips.
"Lost the keys,"
that's what I wrote down,
just for old time's sake.
But you'll never see it,
and I'll never breath you again.
I've tried, so hard,
steady, strong, with the persevering
Until one day I gave up,
And shut off.
{like a robot, in need of healing}
Author notes
Robots, just a commonground.
Reference of some kind.
Everyone should hear the song 'Robots Ruin Lives' by Analog Sway. It's on their MySpace, and you can download it from their PureVolume.
Mouth closed,
saliva for glue
and time to seal it-
I swear I will neither speak or smile
until your return.
^ The original way I was going to start the obvious stanza. Let me know which you like better.

I read this while talking to an ex about some girl he picked up today thinking I am SO not ready for this
"Skin cracked

Thanks sweetie.
I totally understand what you mean. The guy I've been in love with for two years just moved to Mexico, and he already has pictures of him kissing various Latinas. =[
I'm really glad you enjoy my work. It means a lot to me, especially right now, when I feel like no one's liking or reading my stuff.
