I won't hold my breath.
By Dreamless
Digging through the remains of thought
Piecing together a Frankenstein perfection
A stitched-up addiction; A B-Movie romance
I'll be your nothing, you can be my everything
If I knew what anything was, you could have it all
Rewind and fast-forward until the tape wears thin
Searching for the right words to say
Analyzing all of my mistakes to repeat them
Memorizing every part, last to first, every line...
Jumbled and mumbled ...Feelings, maybe...
If I could feel anything, I'd rip my heart out for you
I'll carve "I love you" into the walls - Still beating
Just so I could pluck the strings of love and pain
But you'll never understand, because I can't understand
And I can't fucking think straight
The pieces of you all fall apart
I just can't figure out how you go together with me
Perhaps I will just rip and tear my flesh to shreds
Sew my soul to yours and then maybe...
When I tie my veins to yours...
You'll get it;
But I won't hold my breath
Because you're too beautiful to turn blue.

This has a hoplessness to it that rips your heart out. You portray it very well with your words. Nicely done I enjoyed reading

The last line truly hit me.... I enjoyed reading this. It sounded like the agonizing writhing in despair of a pre-mourn towards a dying loved one....so disconsolate

When I read this, it reminded me of a poetry slam poem - it was pieced together very well. The last line threw me off a bit the first time, but it grew on me the second. A great piece of work!
