a piece of the last time i let you break my heart

By KittyStryker

i always suspected
there were other girls
in your heartstream
in your eyes
your dreams
your whispered poetry


i tasted their poisons on your lips
on my lips

i am one of them
one
of many

your drugs of choice

each one
provides
a different kick
another sensation

and i
am just another pill
in your bottle
of temporary cures






you say
you want
to be wanted
and that
you don't want
to be needed




but i think
you need us
you need
something
to pull the veil over your eyes
so you can't see
what you've
become

    think of it this way- i loved the boy i met in Massachusetts. i adored him. i would bleed for him. this boy i met in California... apparently the "real" him... well, i'm not particularly fond of him. ::shrug:: it is what it is.

    and sure... you can argue everyone's a junkie to something. and the people around have to decide if that junkie is someone they can be happy around. i'm a junkie for affection and love- but not at the cost of me. not anymore.

    kick a dog, & it'll return, cause its devotion to its Owner is greater than its care about personal well being. you kick a cat once or twice, & it'll run away, cause it knows it'll just happen again til it dies... a cat runs... & it doesn't look back.

    i think i missed the one calling for my castration... hmmmmmm... despite the subject matter, which would probably bias my opinion, i found this to be an interesting write.
