paper.doll.romance

By Philla

Sometimes I forget that...
the lightning knows my name

in flashes of heartbreak
he catches my breath
and I drown myself in thunderclouds
.as he kisses me with the rain.

...

I sat upon his chest and
traced the blood on his lips
a horror movie romance
-starring- you and me

So let's get it right this time

...

He said I was his only heartbreaker
and I promised I would break it
-ever-so-gently-

and sew it together backwards and
ask him to swallow it whole

~

Mindless seduction
his lips upon mine
and his hands upon my skin
touching me in places
.I could only touch myself.
my lungs ready to burst
I shiver so slightly
as I beg for
one
final

*shatter*

X rated lullabies
not meant for children

...but I can't help but look



I was never broken
just a little...

cracked around the edges



.

*sigh*

paper hearts wont fix this anymore
