Wandering.

By Dreamless








Y our kiss was acidic and paralytic
O pening wounds in the very core of my existence
U ndermining my will to breathe and to be


H ow gently you whispered curses with your fingertips
A gainst my flesh that you sought to sunder
V enom seeped from every word you spoke
E nveloping me in your wicked, lustful illusions


S uccumbing to the power of your poisonous vehemence
C raving to be released became a craving for more
A s you twisted and warped the center of my thoughts
R eassuring me that you were my savior and my life;
R eminding me that I am insignificant and you are divinity
E nslaved by this false sense of desire -- This addiction;
D rowning in confusion and discord, discarding reality


M asked by deception and the premise of passion
Y ou kept my heart locked away, hidden and bound in chains


S uffering and swaying between the line of life and death
O nly you can save me from myself, you constantly swore
U ntil the last of my sanity dripped onto your delusive tongue
L eaving my empty shell to wander, dying for a fix of your love

    This one opens wounds in the very core of my existence, unfortunately. But it's always better to reminisce in a poetic frame of mind.

    A touch of reminder of something that once was. Thank you for the read.

    This is by far ``Stupid Shit`` ... but I do wonder about that kiss - clever wording as it sets the pace for what is to come ... Devlin.
