Denying Addiction

By SickSanityJenn

Your eyes glazed with memories of summer
Thoughts weigh heavy with longingĀ 
I never said I loved you

You're pretty in cursive
I like the way you bend
What makes up the best of you
Is corrupted and condemned

I tangle your misery
Around my liars chair
This heart you proudly display
Is cut open, raw and bare

My face turns to shadows
I sigh as I pull you near
You groan as I kiss your throat
Your attraction very clear

That serial killer look you give me
Where your eyes shine dark and low
That smile that wrecks my insides

I'm yours without question
But I will never admit defeat
My back straight with indifference
As you twist my heart around your feet

    Interesting and reflective to me, though through its subtleties and not its surrender and lust. For what part of me shall I ever be willing to handover to someone, that holds not a permanent place by a cozy fire. To what in me can not I not find beauty and love, that I shall become a beggar to some other, who may not ever have stopped to witness a beautiful sunset? Might I linger to chance each moment as a king, building my own castles or merely risk renting a tiny place inside dying souls? I sincerely with all due respect reflect to where I am in this very interesting piece. Thank you so very much.

    This was beautifully crafted; I love the flow and the constant back and forth. The ability to show your love - but the illustration of you hiding it's true power.

    Thank you very much :) Most of my love poems are of the unstable, obsessive, apathetic, abusive and dark sides of Love... They are rarely the bliss most people write
