The stuff going on inside my mind is uncontrollable.
The stuff going on around me is not consolable.
Don't know if I should stay or run.
This feeling inside me isn't really fun.
Feeling nervous, restless, and tense.
I'm getting good grades at my sanity’s expense.
Breathing heavy, hard to breathe.
Feeling weak, I’m clenching my teeth.
Sweating, trembling, panicking severely.
The room is spinning, fainting, nearly.
The walls closing in, freaking out.
Wishing I could shut the voice out.
Grounding methods, just remember.
Take deep breaths, my chest an ember.
Breathe in, breathe out, I’m all calm now.
Anxiety sucks, I wonder how.
To get rid of this illness that provokes me every day.
My life, because of it, feeling gray.
Being with you is an emotional roller coaster …instability
You circulate my emotions from the heights to the dungeon
my guards are down I own the humility
You are the destroyer of my being, my soul sponge
Being in love with you is my only addiction
Escapades of the heart is uncontrollable
Possessiveness, jealousy, fear of rejection
It’s false evidence, a delusion, complete fiction
I sacrificed everything, now my life takes precedence
Involuntary passion is not consolable
Good bye codependence; hello independence
You love me and then leave me alone
Loving you is not good for me, it’s recklessly wrong
It’s Dysfunctional!!

Hit me
Punch me in the face
Kick me if you must
I need to feel your pain
I need to know
Understand
Where you have been
For with your gentle touch
I have been unaware of the depth of your pain
When you kiss me bite my lip
Let my blood pulsate with understanding
I will scream out the words you are unable to articulate
Let me push into the centre of your need
Until we both find release
Use your nails
Dig into my back
I am strong enough
I will not be broken by your need
Do not be afraid of black ink
Or metaphorical anger
Hit me
Pound upon my chest
Until both our hearts feel
Convulse with pleasured realization
No rules or limitations
Digress to primal urges
Find your earlier self
Until you are lost
Until
Until
You are fully spent
Exhausted
Consolable
For I am not afraid
I am willing
Yes I am able
To take
Your worst
and "your best shot"
If only you are brave enough
To let me absorb your pain!

If you feel happy with me
I'll kiss you tenderly
If you feel sad with me
I'll kiss you gently
If you feel angry with me
I'll kiss you forcefully
If you feel in love with me
I'll kiss you passionately
I'll kiss you without shame
I'll kiss you without regret
I'll kiss you without holding back
I'll kiss you with all the passion
I'll kiss you with all the hope
I'll kiss you with all the feelings
You'll want to be kissed by me
You'll receive a kiss from me
We're much wanting of a desirable kiss
We're much needing of a consolable kiss
A kiss is never doubted or judged
A kiss is always blessed and embraced
Oh, my goodness...
A kiss is always comes in any form
From being kissed gently on the forehead
Being kissed softly on the cheek
To kiss on one's much needed lips
To kiss within one's imaginative heart
One thing is very certain in this life
A kiss is always a way to keep one's heart alive
