Collapse

By Phalanx

You probably shouldn't follow me here.
This is a chasm of roads winding, aparantly,
Winding down.

Fear not.
Dead ends and death squalls
Just remind me, I'm alive.
Remember, even though I speak sometimes with cruelty,
I still love.

The kindness in this world, I know
Doesn't share it's thought's unless there's pain.
It crawls inside me to watch you hurt.

I enjoy the outburst.
Not how your eye's react with tears.
When you finally know me
Are you going to shrug and say I love you?

I don't want anything that easy but,
You're screwing with my logic or insanity, there of.
You keep making this much sense,
I might start to feel comfortable and that terrifies me.

I'm not used to someone else being right but,
You're kind with the way you force the issue.

My heart is slowly peeling
With the colors that you dip me.

Don't stop me and don't go.
My heart talks about you all the time.

You are where I want to cave in.

    This reminds me of the geodes I used to love breaking open as a child. A hard rock on the outside, with a beautiful crystal on the inside. "You are where I want to cave it." That's beautiful. Scholar

    This made me shiver. I'm going to pretend someone penned it for me. A write unworthy of mortal words.

    Haven't found it but, it's what I hope for.
