Imagined Relationship

I love your eyes.
In the twilight frosty Friday.
You're lonely
and drunk.
You know I'm there for you,
not a threat.
For you to bounce off
until you feel better again.
My hopes left empty.
You love my eyes.

Our reasons are different.

Intentions

I don't need another friend.
I know you mean so well.

So well.

But you don't need me
and I want you as something else.

Trying

False admiration.

Thought you could deal with it.
Sort a feel for it.
And we could peel through it.
There's no secret to it.
We secreet fluid.
Until interest dries out.
I cry out.

False hope.

Blanket

Why do you comfort me? Complete my shaking soul.
Why do you keep me warm? Light my shivering spirit.
Why do you cling to me? I sweat with you.

Why do you leave me, when I need you most?

Envy

Don't worry.

My jealousy won't stop me liking you.
It won't stop me thinking of you.
It won't stop me talking to you.
It won't stop me caring about you.
It won't stop me looking at you.
It won't stop me admiring you.
It won't stop me loving you.
It won't stop me wanting you.

I worry.

Breathing You

Breathe me in, when all I breathe is you.
Seek my gaze, when all I see is you.
Talk to me, when all I hear is you.
Hold me close, when all I feel is you.
Feed my hunger, when all I taste is you.
Be with me, when all I want is you.

Aardvark

In love with an aardvark.

The way he looks makes my heart spark.

Lets not waste time with small talk.

We can create a new species and build an ark.

Exsistence

Dieticians tame us.
Politicians blame us.
Sitting on the same bus,
thinking of the Universe.

Reluctant

Reluctant night out
Concerns all around
Fears a plenty
Then. She's here.
Somehow
You belong to each other
For a bit
Found
Complete
Sweet aroma
Oh to die now
You wake up
Self esteem replenished
For a bit
