breathe

Location

Dont forget..dont forget the blood I bled for you , the flood i swam through , the heart beat I sacrificed , the sanity i demoralized , the purity I tainted the ultraviolet colors I faded ..dont forget the bones that i have broken , and the hollow breathes that I've stolen. Don't forget the smiles  that i mimicked , and the weights i have lifted , don't forget how i carried the sun in the middle of my spine in attempt to make you react to a brighter day in a better way , with a brighter smile , one ..more irresistable , and less vile . Don't forget how i straddled the moon and the stars , with one hand , hoping that oneday you would look at me like no other man , no other monster , no other fool, just a super natural being that plays by no man's rules .Don't forget how i stripped myself of sin , and of skin and glared at my raw flesh , because you always said its what's on the inside that counts so maybe i could carve my insides out , and put out the fire that burned , out my senses . Don't forget me , or what i used to be ,or what i thought i was , or what i couldnhave been or what i wasn't . The fact that i wasn't who you loved .. i wasn't who you could trust , i wasn't the one you wanted ...a mistake not a choice ..a whisper , not a voice , i tiptoe not a step . But out of all the things you remeber of me ..please , my love dont forget ..to breathe .
