L I F E L I N E S
Your scent is intoxicating
Your touch is captivating
God I want you
I want you so bad
I miss you
But I can't have you
It's not good for me or for you
This would just break us further
And I can't handle
Knowing I would be
Your
D E S T R U C T I O N
.
.
.
.
You are the blood in my veins
And I'm scratching
And scratching
And
S C R A T C H I N G
at my wrists but you're not leaving
Your presence hasn't changed
I can't get you out...
.
.
.
.
You are the breath in my lungs
And I'm smoking
Smoking harmful chemicals
Trying to flush you out
Smoking nicotine
Smoking THC
Smoking anything
I am now
Inhaling
C A N C E R
and
now smoke comes out of my mouth more than words
.
.
.
.
You are the colour of my eyes
The depth and hues
And I'm walking round blind,
Eyes closed
But I still see the shadows
I am dazed
Nothing is clear in darkness without you
You are the colour and light in my eyes
Come back to me
Fore I am now
C O L O U R B L I N D
.
.
.
.
You are the nightmares at night
I silently scream and wake up crying
I frantically search my bed for you
Almost physically feeling you leave
You
H A U N T
me
But I can't live without it
For now my imagination is enough
Enough to believe you haven't abandoned me
Like my mother has
.
.
.
.
I don't believe you know
That you
Are my
L I F E L I N E
I do not believe that you know such things
You told me to depend on you
And that you'd protect me
.
.
.
.
I'm desperate.
So I'll believe you
I'm desperate.
So I'll take your spoon fed assurances
I'm desperate
So yet
I ' L L L O V E. Y O U
another day
