Losing someone to life

Engraving the words onto the thin sheet

A futile attempt to turn them into reality

So when I move to erase

Having made a mistake

For the indentations left behind are to stay

I am not sure, though, what my fault here is

Holding it so close to me

Need is an emotion

I got what I want

Thought it was needed

But when you came

I learned the difference

Between the two

Wanting you

Exhilarated me

Needing you

Envelops around me

Warm and all too familiar

It's hold tightens ever so slightly

Smothering delight

For I am not sure

Whether it's a noose around my neck

From all the storms

Is not something to trade

On cloudy days

I wish it was

Then maybe I could have said

You are a bad person

But you're not

You just chose to be this way

You chose to not change

I would ask a little less of your kindness

A little more of your coldness

An abundance of your cruelty

For its the only thing I've ever known

Your kindness for me is like

A warm cup of tea

Bound to get cold

Envelops around me

Warm and all too familiar

It's hold tightens ever so slightly

Smothering delight

For I am not sure

Whether it's a noose around my neck

I stand in my corner

I watch the storm

As it comes

But never goes

The thrashing water

Pricks at my skin

Cool and unforgiving

I stand still

Unmoving

I wish I could

For I would jump in the storm

Kiss me with your hands

Ravage me with your words
