Love Like Codeine

your love was pure pure like fire ephemeral and fleeting and bore a desire now lost and broken contemptuous of what's cheapened I dream of illusions though I am not sleeping your love was ephemeral illusive or illusionary like daydreams my love was craven unsure imasculine or maybe just craving now lost and contemptuous of being cheated by promises I made myself nightmares that stop me from sleeping and thoughts of you so pure and vibrant and fleeting all that disappointment all that potential all that could have been and thoughts of sleep codeine to cleanse and wash away the pain and thoughts of you cruel and callous not to feel the same my heart is pure, pure like fire warn-down in its beating for you forlorn and broken with unfulfilled, unworthy desire
