Lust

Did you think that I would leave you forever?

I mean in terms of infinity

I mean there are levels to everything. You say we can talk about anything but in terms of dinner conversations we only speak when the plates are full and the place settings are neat. You dress like fine China but when I need to go further you never travel with me. That which I starve most for is not something you can prepare

We are all seeking someone that can handle our wants if we provide what they need

The Sun is setting earlier and I don’t like who you become in the night time

Don’t succumb to your fears. Don’t just be there because you are scared to be alone. You swim in memories that often lead to you drowning in thoughts

How will they remember you when all that you have built together comes tumbling down?

What are the stories they will tell and how will the relive it when they recite your tales?

Feelings of all those somebody’s we use to know left in ruins like civilizations we thought would forever grow

I was a bad Apple who loved eating a bruised peach. I came from a world that wanted me to be strange fruit. If you don’t want to hang, you have to learn to swing from trees

I’m the bad guy in your story but this is my poem

She said “ They all think you still here, but how long you been gone?”

This is all mental

She said “You treat our arguments like a studio and this a new song”

This is just the intro

She said she “love me to death” put our hearts on a shirt with some wings.

These are ghetto vows

I’ve been observing something. I could be wrong because I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong again.

This time I think I’m right though…

Everyone is easy to fall in love but are you able to be in love?

We fall, trip, stumble into the perception of the potential idea of what we hope people to be, but can you stand firmly in the reality of who they are?

Is right now enough for you? Is this moment fulfilling? Not just in love, but in life. Not just heart beats but deep breathes

Are you content or do you need more from all of this?

Don’t make eye contact with me as you lie. Have some self respect

I told you I was starving…

Do you need more on days that end in “Y”

Do you need reassurance on mornings that begin with me?

Do you justify your bad habits with sayings like “I’m just not everyone’s cup of tea”?

Do you take long looks in the mirror or just put a better filter on your selfie?

I just liked the picture because the caption was pretty

I’m not judge nor jury. No one is perfect, that’s why we love diamonds so much

Is it real if you only make up when you have on make-up

She said “don’t pull out or pull away”

I don’t like how you are acting towards me. We use to make late night movies. Now when I see you in public all you do is make a scene

You never choose us and I guess that’s why I’m confused. This is real love. The biggest difference between us is I would never make you choose

No love letters we just say goodbye while we here. I miss what you were and what we could’ve been

Save your crushes for the universe. Put all your Yes, No, or Maybes in the stars

When it comes to relationships. There’s so much imagination in it all

You should try ACTUALLY falling in love
