Blanket me with deception
if that's what'll make you stay
leave a bruise on my trembling hand
as you squeeze it
so unbearably tight
that I force myself to breathe
[but I guess I'll just 'go with the flow']
so just pull the covers over my eyes
to blind me from your actual intentions
so I always disregard thinking twice
even when my tears
form into pieces of crystal
as you brush me off your shoulder
like an unwanted particle of dust
[& maybe I'll never really know]
are you happy now;
& how does it feel?
to taste the blood
as it seeps from my ruby-colored heart
onto your venomous tongue--
but I was to let you go
like a light-weighted black balloon
but I begin to question your motives
[is it all really for show]
have you ever considered
that I'm sick of this deeply-bedazzled routine
because every time you disappear
I'm left deliberating on what your motives mean
toss me a bone
because for the last few months
I've ignorantly been here waiting
so while you carry on with your life
I'm thrown around in your mind
& we're lazed on the abjured couch
once again
foolishly hesitating;
[I can't think about this anymore]
your freckled arms
are balancing between infatuation & love
your irresistible charm
is a burden, yet complete mystery
but I remind myself you never meant any harm;
what I want & what I deserve
are breaking my reasoning skills down
lower
&
lower
until I realize you're no longer around;
[this 'lust' affair has been sequentially ignored]
so babe
[please]
I'm tired
just let me go
...& let me be.
