It only rips apart when you tug...
My heart-
And only you pierce the flesh
With such sweet stabs
Nursing me back into
A balance
Only to knock me down again
I need you,
Only you can heal
Me with every lie
Flowing through monogamy
Transcending clarity
You leave me struck
With infected scares
That itches my integrity
In spots only you can reach
Just when I think I’m dead
You rescue me with swift
Pulls to the surface
To inhale hope
Then suffocating me
Once more-
Never did you think
That stitches would dissolve,
Now the medicine that barely
Kept me alive
Feeds my desire to repair
Now that my heart is
Strong enough,
I no longer depend on your torture
To heal my wounds
And it amuses me to see your face
As I choose to love only myself

very moving

To love someone more than ourselves can only lead to more heartache...you words pull at the heart strings and cause a tear to loose it's place...Should have won gold!
