You captured me in dark tones
I was intriguing and fragile I am sure
You drew your desires across my skin
Carving with precision kissing away the blood
I fell for you like nothing on earth
A surreal and maddening Love
These memories soaked in sentiment
Give rise to indescribable regret
My heart falls from the balcony of your dissatisfaction
As you alter the negatives
No longer remembering I was always only me
I wonder did you not see in the light of day
Your pictures
Your curiosity
Your assumptions
The way in which you coveted my soul
Were never meant to be a reflection of you
Only raw sketches of what you needed from me
Hanging in your halls
I would never be decoration
I was fragile and darkness and desire served up on pain
Fleeting captivation
I gave you everything I was
Uncertainty and rapture
My throat swells with lack of breath
My heart aches with distance
You captured me in silence
I now want to scream
I was perfect for sketched fragments
Midnight
Daydreams
Poetic Notions
I was but one of your obsessions
Never meant to be enough

We used to have so much to say
You and I
Another time, another place
Before that inevitable fog of time
Caressed our world
Gently at first
An inept separation
Reedemable with those three fractured beeps
Long distance
Eventuality though becomes us all
As it wound and choked
We are speechless now
Except for the languid curl of tongue
Over needy love starved flesh
Is this all that remains
Or is it all we ever really had…

There are pieces of me
That float away with indifference
A complex montage of fractured illusion
Pieces of me whisper your name
You collect them and draw them to your heart
I push,and you frustrated turn
You seek to save my soul
I believe… and yet I don’t
Either way
Could you promise I will ever be whole again?
There are pieces of me
Jagged and scarred they arrive at your door
Time and time again
In my mind you leave it open
I smash against the frame
Become unrecognisable damage
Broken pieces
These are the risks we take
Human and incomplete
How will it end?
I sketch examples into the darker shades of you
An offered glimpse into the blackened state of me
I beckoned,and you frustrated ran…
As darker dreams foretold
I lay now in pieces
In the palm of your hand.

I lay down under the anguish coated sky

There is a darkness that runs along my spine
It is there as I sleep
I feel it as liquid trickling slow against my skin
The hush of the night
Your breath keeps me warm
Yet I remember it
Ever present I wait for it to leave
Knowing it shall not
As I inhale you
It covers me
A reminder that come morning You’ll be gone
No roses by my door
A political kiss
Yet whispered love unleft upon my cheek
What am I now but vulnerable
Available
Chained by my heart as you walk free
The darkness whispers
As I drag along behind your smile
You blink but twice I am a distant memory
I’d cut my heart out for such a luxury
Instead
Your scent permeates my skin
As once again the darkness runs along my spine
I close my eyes
Barricade to tears
