Pleasurable suffocation
I stood near the soggy dim and grey window,
As I reminisced about today.
You in your beautiful denim
Looking disappointingly at me
Dissatisfied of the thing,
I always craved from thee.
You spat out the words
And they landed in my veins like venom.
A cold, sympathetic chill shuddered through my spine
My eyes stung
Like a fresh squeezed lemon.
I heaved a sigh as I settled onto the velvety sofa
Aware of the fact that I wasn't the one
But my heart started thundering
And I knew it was yet to come
Perhaps this venom will dry out the burning passion
Embedded deep inside of me
Perhaps I would be free
From this heartbreaking agony
My eyes softened as it arrived,
An itch in my throat which deeply thrived.
Someone, or something was clawing its way
The rainbow spilled into the day.
It was beautifully breathtaking Roses in flight.
Sparkles and glitter just blinding my sight,
All for a glimpse of your beautiful face
Lost in a dream, drifting away.
A whole universe
Where you loved me
Where you chose me
But I snapped back to reality
Out poured the petals, the stems, and the buds,
Lying lonely and lost in the cold, crimson floods.
But there was something unusual about it.
Covered in something dark, something black.
It wasn't as painful as before.
But the dull, heartache remained
Maybe your words eased the pain
Not in the way I expected.
