Love

I forgive you The pain’s been unbearable Each nail, piercing my skin Produced a scream heard across the nation Created a tremble that shook the very fabric of reality… Of sanity.. But don’t worry My sanity rests in you In that embrace of pure safety and love I’ll never feel again In the breath of life that drowns me in a euphoric sea I know you don’t worry, That knowledge brings the same thankfulness Produced by my crown of thorns Which embraces all of the dark thoughts in my mind… The psychotic truths Woven into the beautiful mess of the human conscience My amphetamine One down, two The glass shakes and the water writhes around on the bed Dripping its blasphemous tears endlessly Onto the spinning carousel of my stomach What tears? You’re still not happy? At least you’re happier without me.. Without a broken soul tripping over every word you say, Without Pompeii on your lips And dry bones too broken to be brought back to life, Crumbling in your arms The first kiss The first time trusting the male species The first time rustling the sheets Cannot be returned But why would I want to? I cry out in trembling fear that.. The few memories obtained will slip away As the last summer rays that beat down on our laced fingers Broke away.. And now shine on the separated shadows of both hands I forgive you But not myself Love Don’t break Your satisfaction so hard to obtain i will pray from the sidelines For it’s all i have left to give If he would listen to such a person as me anymore My crown Was given to you atop my heart Though it wasn’t mine to give i may not be forgiven for such treason, my partisan love But don’t worry Well you won’t.. But it’s okay The world has taught you well i fell i’m falling from Everest Into the flaming abyss Trust i have no trust anymore But how can i? It’s owner flew off into the milky way And the stars in my bloodshot eyes wait And wait For the shooting star to return And finish shattering the glass of my broken sleeve
