Falling in love

Falling in love with you Is like handing myself the gun It's like a dream worth waking up from It's banging my head against the walls around your heart and thanking you for the opportunity Sublime fear, masochism at its finest You are as remote as the ocean And I am the blazing hot sun Disappearing into the horizon Replaced by darkness Falling in love with you Is not so much falling As it is drowning The sting of your indifference Filling my lungs Fading Falling in love with you is falling flat on my face at your feet and finding you helping me up Loving me as you love a friend

[musettainlove]

Not like this Not for a girl who’s prone to melancholy Like me Not for a girl who’s entire being aches To be touched Like the most fragrant fragile bloom Delicately But with the intent to smother. Love me not like this As only a gossamer strand bonds us together But love me, love As a love that’s lost in time As we are only passing on this plane Love, this time is pleasant, this time is now Love me like you’ll leave me, Love me breathless Love me now

Will this ever be enough? This parting kiss in the moonlight, This lingering hope mixed with denial, This desperate longing which aches Deep within my soul And you, a beacon shining In the distance, always breaking my horizon Always a little further than my reach And as we stand, our exhales visible In the clear, frigid night You lips as warm as fond memories We say our hesitant goodnight Are we enough? Perhaps too much for tonight.

Claim me

(This fickle waiting game Presses heavily On my wearied skin) I long to feel your breath Warm on my flesh Your lips tracing poetry Down my spine Hands searching For that tangible love Which hovers, elusive Eyes closed Mouths open Ready to taste Every drop of insatiability Ready to devour Every inch Tell me all the secrets Your body keeps Take me all the ways You want me

[musettainlove]

I'm all in baby I'm your ride or die bitch I'll stay till the end with you baby Just for a taste of your lingering lips Let me take you home with me baby You're the one I always miss When I'm half drunk And my bones ache Pacify me with your kiss

[musettainlove]

His bedsheets are pink And lips are soft He says 'come' And you smile You know you've won Maybe it's just this round Maybe it's just tonight Maybe the maybes will linger For days to come But tonight you come it's the moment that counts Just this once You've won You're the one

[musettainlove]

Him.

A gentle reminder to yourself dear You don’t want to go back there, You no longer care. Yes of course I have good memories of you Like a child who never sleeps yet dreams... But dreams are big and your heart is small Every lovely memory has be smothered away All that’s left are two tiny silver circles intertwined With bitterness and resentment.

[musettainlove]

Never did I think I could live without Your pale skin Your razor sharp words Your hands Making purple clouds on my body But look at me here I'm living. Never did I think I could write of you again But look at me here I'm telling you: Enough! Or perhaps, Too much.

[musettainlove]

Fill my cracks My emptiness Seal my fractures Make sure the darkness Doesn't seep in Pour yourself into My open wounds I need your sweetness To be my salve

[musettainlove]

Let me swim Not in the tides of regret But in the pool of resolution For you and I Were only ever lukewarm at best Even though your fingers Trickled over my skin Caressing my thirsty hills and valleys Your love is shallow Not enough to quench I watch it evaporate now I need depth I need an ocean Cascading over my body Tumultuous waves Crashing over me Coursing through me Consuming me Drowning me Rocking me to my core So while you are a puddle Slowly drying up I’ll take care to side step Till I find my ocean For now, I’ll float in tranquil waters No need to get my feet wet Again

All the shit I'd say if I had the balls/ another "dear you."

Dear you, I guess you really don't realise how much you've meant to me over the past how every long we've known each other. You came into my life right when I needed something to make me smile with ease and forget, even just for a few moments, the incredible brokenness that I was feeling. I loved how everything was simple and easy with you. I love that you didn't give up on me or on our friendship. I still can't believe that you kept contact with me after the first time I ran out on you, surprising me with your understanding. You always seemed to care so much about me, yet expect little in return. I know you never wanted to commit to anything and that was fine by me. It still is. I understand and still feel the same way. I know I didn't speak to you for months. But I explained why. You were understanding as always. You allowed me to do what I needed to do, and never was I not grateful for that. There's always been plenty of other girls surrounding you but that never used to bother me. You always made time for me and made me feel like our friendship was different, just a little bit more special than the others. I don't want you to feel scared off by me. I hope you're not holding my decision against me. I feel like it was the right thing for both of us. I'm going a bit crazy. I know you don't like crazy, who does? But you've told me on many occasions that my happiness is important to you. Was that all bullshit? I'd like to think it's not because I know you're not a bad person and I don't think you'd want to hurt me on purpose. But guess what? I am unhappy right now. I can't figure out why our friendship seems to be falling apart. You mean a lot to me. I did everything I could to help you. Please don't be scared of my feelings. At the end of the day you're not young, and you'll need to grow up soon enough. I know very well that I don't need you, I could get by fine without you. It would take a little time but I could easily get over you. I don't say this as a threat, I'm saying this because I know that I'm strong enough to be by myself, but you mean so much to me that I want you in my life. Up until now, your influence in my life has been overwhelmingly positive. In my gut I feel that this is just a small trough in our relationship, just a small low point, and new and more exciting peaks are coming. You are in my life for a reason, and I in yours. I'd like to continue riding this wave with you. With all the gratitude I can muster, Me

I know, I'm like a story to you, So fascinated you were By my shiny cover, How delicately you Fingered the opening page. The first few chapters Had you enthralled, You devoured My poignant exposition So intrigued you were, You couldn't put me down, In the wee hours you read Always wanting more But now, I sit on your dusty bookshelf, Dog eared pages growing yellow I guess my words no longer interest you Perhaps my narrative's too deep for you But I'll wait, There's much more I have to say, Pick me up again Pour over each unread page Let's continue the story we started

Don't you know You can't forget me The way the corners of my mouth Pulled up into a reluctant smile Every time you tried to console My palpable darkness You won't forget the way My lips caressed your skin And the effigies my tongue traced On your hard flesh Bringing you to unquestionable bliss You won't forget the way you quenched my thirst for the living You will remember The depths we reached The laughter The madness The sadness slowing ebbing away From my body You will move on Find girls with softer voices who smile with ease But you won't forget me My sad eyes and wanton skin Will haunt your dreams As you remember How you held me Back together For the briefest moment in time Before leaving me Just as broken as you found me

[musettainlove]

Seething anger grips my lioness heart Undoing resolves and revelations Achieved from past exploits The strength which was wept Out of necessity, is slipping away Making way for the insecurities Of the past And I don't want to be writing these words I want to exhale your goodness, Spill secrets of your closeness Count every inch of gracious skin Extol each virtue, inhale you whole So help me Let me write you into submission Be my safe haven, be my hope Give me one good reason
