Your eyes, well they contain words the dictionary couldn’t understand. And your fingers, they’re just atoms of electricity sewn together with a chemical bond that remains unbreakable.
You are the science to my English.
I need you.
You have lips of steel and a heart of unstable petroleum. You will combust just as I rebuild.
Look, look, I think the stars are shining brighter then the golden wisps of promises draining from your cigarette. I’ll hold you hand and inhale tobacco and happiness. This moment, I never want to forget.
I need you.
We are so cohesive. Honestly, how can we breathe when time spreads us apart?
Have I ever told you, that my heart beats in your presence? Comatose victim I am no more. You woke me up when the morphine never did. My eyelashes beg to have your tears.
And oh sweetie, there are scars filtrating that blemished skin of mine. And yeah, I crave crimson more then lovers wish for security. But aren’t you just that little bit frantic? Little bit anxious?
We all have our problems…
And I’m sorry. Where you bounced, I sunk. I wanted to see you bleed, to taste your pain. Power is my downfall and I was too consumed with the immortality of my cunning lips. I didn’t mean it. Really, I didn’t.
I need you.
Now, I miss you. The skies are absent of clouds shaped like syllables and the rain wont stop pouring. Without you, the flickering of streetlights stop.
You are so beautiful the grass turns to bleak colour in fear they’ll steal your charisma.
You are mine.
I need you.
We will always be;
But sometimes we have to blink before we can see.
I love you.
I need you.

Ok so i have to confess that I saved reading this poem by you for like ever. I saw the title when you first wrote it all those days ago and I wanted to click on it out of pure curiousity, but I knew that you entered it into my contest, so I was like 'no i have to save it because i know its going to be good' and you know what? I didn't let myself down.

I love these lines
I love this poem -
The only thing that I would say was there were a couple of spelling errors. like "You're" should be "your" & "sown" should be "sewn"

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
There are so manyyy memorable lines in this poem.
Need I recall all of them? lol.
"Have I ever told you, that my heart beats in your presence? Comatose victim I am no more. You woke me up when the morphine never did. My eyelashes beg to have your tears."
That was seriously by farrr my favorite paragraph.
Beauty.
To the fullest.
The irrevocable fullest.
For serious.

This has got to be your shortest title ever!
Haha, I was surprised.
Where you bounced, I sunk.
- There's something about that line that I cannot even describe in words of my own. I love how it speaks as much as it does.
And your spaces?
Oh, gah, your spaces. They're absolutely amazing - I love the effect spacing can do to a poem.
Wonderful piece!
