Like an addict I need more of you
But the taste you gave me
Was not enough
Could not be enough
It would not satisfy
I need to feel like there is more to this
A silly infatuation was never so raw
You consume me
Instead of love you play for power
This is great. Because I know that feeling.

emmy much love as always


Fall on you

I call for you
When I lose this battle with my pride
I will lose myself for you
The opportunity to be shrouded in ignorance
Believe in my fairytale ending
Swept away with you
Is a dream to sweet to leave behind
I know I will lose myself
When I fall on you

In this whispering silence
I cling to your image
Save me from my memories
My haunting touch on reality
Only serves a purpose to make me doubt
That my pride will relinquish control
If I could will it I would fall on you

One day I will arrive
You are so beautiful
You are so blissfully unaware
I want that as mine
I will settle on falling for you
I would rather be with you
Then waiting alone for a another chance


RANDOM WRITING
(i might expand on it at a later date when my brain wants to work some more)
Can I count the ways I bleed for you?
My struggles to stand tall
Only make you smile
No chance of you to offer me a helping hand
You like it when I am kneeling
You seem happier when I am failing
If each red second could paint a picture
The portrait that would result
An image of you

Free falling
Oblivion be mine
The gentle breezes that once were friends
Tear at my being, Scream for my blood
While I am losing this fight
My sense of self will be tested
But this life was a journey destined to end
Before my first step was even taken
I could mourn the chances I will miss
I can only try to keep a level head
Perfect rose
Ruby red beauty perfected
The thorns once hidden from sight
Cut through illusions, bring sense to the forefront
While I cannot cradle perfection
Pretend something so unreal is made for me
I know for once I had an opportunity
I gave you the light to grown
Left behind with the thorns
Do you ever remember the hand that held you close?
The tears that kept alive to bring you safety
I let the winds once my friends that brought me joy
The autumn falling has no relief
Instead I turn my happiness away to shelter you
My ruby rose

These Hands

These little hands
Could almost be perfect
If not for the many scars
So small, silvery and white
Fading now into one another
Each one tells a story
Countless falls
I am not able to catch myself
But I can pick myself back up
These cold hands
Long to feel warm
If you could hold them tight
Bring a feeling of hope
No longer alone
I sense the fingers of a phantom
Closing around
My own blurred form
I dreamt you up
So I would never truly be alone

I love this one.

It reminds me of the song Passion, by Stream of Passion

"This feeling is rushing through me and again, I'm willing to surrender to the violent notes that spin around. I'd give it up for you. This feeling is clinging to me and again, I'm willing to surrender. I could lose my breath but even then, I'd give it up for you."

Amazing song, and amazing poem Shannon. A lot of passion in that one.

This one was stunning. I've felt some what like that before. I love this one.

Permission

There is nothing but silence
Echoing inside my head
The emptiness once longed for
Scares me
I thought I could hear you breathing
Long searched for memories
Hidden under the surface

I am trying hard to let this go
When what defines me
Destroys as well
If I could close my eyes
And wish this day away
I could not utter the magic words

Am I weak?
This infatuation holds no substance
Yet I cannot turn away
The screaming has faded
Instead the sudden calm
Leaves me trembling
Where I stand

A heartfelt tremor
My world is under pressure
And I cannot beat the best
I will not let you go
The emptiness is not welcome
Give me substance
Define me
Destroy me
You have my permission

I absolutely love this. Especially the last verse. It matches my every mood in every thing. I can't say exactly what I mean, it's complicated. But in its complexity, it is amazing. And you've written it beautifully.
