Her eyes,
They've got this crazy sparkle
That warn me
when she's dangerous
A Golden speck
That shines an SOS
In a sea of aquamarine

And if I let her
She'll tear out my heart
Vein
by
vein,
Aorta to her lips
my essence
dripping down her chin.
(I'd wipe it up with a smile and put that finger to my lips)

Because I don't mind
The pain
That her
Dagger stares
Cause as they
pierce my soul
And I embrace the poison
Of her carelessly flung words
Arrows
that graze my cheek
And sometimes hit home.
( i deserve every syllable that makes me stagger)

She's got this smell about her
That makes
every fiber scream
Danger

But Her smile
blinds, dizzying senses
And Her mirror eyes
Quicksand
That suffocates me slowly.
(I swear if I look close enough
It's me in that ocean
Sending signals to be saved)

and Her pain radiates
    Reflects
off of me
and Her tragic beauty
Makes me walk on egg shells
     She's trained me
(so unconsciously)
A servant cradling
her fragile bone china

But I don't flinch
At my torn hands and knees
That leave a
Trail of crimson passion
       behing me 
( a testament to you)

Instead I savor the weight

Of her

On my back

As I crawl

Across the glittering lake

Composed of the fractured
And shattered shards of herself


Once you've fallen into her
Escape is hopeless
