You were mine, if only for a night
slipping gracefully through my fingers
Trickling down onto the barren landscape
Falling with my tears, leaving me blind
groping for your presence
I don't know who diserves my irate actions
I allowed you drag me down to this pessimal level
drugged by love
But you were the one who drew me down
Injecting evenom into my pallid veins
You couldn't have just smashed my dreams
You had to pick at my heart with a chisel
Expecting it to be infrangible
A blend of velvet marble
But my hearts knitted together by scar tissue
It bleeds
Soft pink sunsets have a crimson undertone
Not unlike your cherubin face
Hiding so much upheavel behind almond eyes
Surfacing only in bewitching grins and artificial care
Shakespeare would be proud.
Like the northern winds caressing the summer leaves
only to migrate as frost destroys the beauty it once loved
You disappeared.
And I'm still debating wether
that was for the best.
These sheets are harrowing reminders
Of a small and fleeting love
Though to call it love would be irrational
I was simply a Victim of your lust

Title: Victim Of Your Lust.
Color: Pink.
Quote: It's amazing the things you realize when you lose someone: you get mad at yourself for not saying the things you could've said a million times, you take for granted the days spent doing nothing when you could have been with them. Anyone can be taken, at any time in our lives, but we always wait until they're gone to say the things we never had the courage to before.
