he said "i can love you if you want
... i know you're dying to
and i'll always be fair
as long as i believe
in you"
and with all his worthless lies
the ones that "lead to the truth"
she said "you can touch me if you want
i
know it feels good for you"
and they broke like hollowed-out chocolate
sculptures of holidays that can only cause
regret
with one touch she left him spell-bound
and he woo-ed her with a handpicked flower on a night of drunkenness
and
he said " i can hold you if you want
if that's what feels good for you
i just love your company
the comfort of everything
we do"
and her eyes broke like disappointment
when one week later the story changed
she could not be heartbroken
this way
... not when it was already in remains
with one more bitter failure
another crash after rising hope
she
said "i can use you if you want
i know what's good for you
i just miss your company
and all the drinking that we
do"
and with a few more weeks of manipulation
different patterns, different games
their logic broke like centipedes,
scattered
helpless, wanting, longing for more
but regardless, they restrained
and with all the boxes broken down
a
few pieces of tape remained
their hearts rip like the cardboard
tear off from use and wear and rain
he said "you
can leave me if you want
i'm no good for you
you want something better
than all the things i can do"
and she
screamed "well fuck you!
i'll miss you if i want or not
but i want all things better
more than what you've got
you've
laid the shame down on me
with all the disappointment and remorse
i felt like i was so sure of something
so sure
of you it hurt
but you're just like everyone
too afraid to really love
i'd have never had hurt you
except in bed
when we got rough
but you can choose to hurt me if you want
i know it's easier for you"
he said" you can hate
me if you want
i know you're dying to
and i'll pretend i don't miss you
cause i feel bad for you
i just wish i
could tell you
how afraid i feel inside
but someday i'll remember
and wish i'd said goodbye"
and the months
would pass
and their eyes wouldn't meet
until they were put to the same routine
and their chemistry went wild
like campfire
taken place by drunken teens
and finally, he said
"i'll love you if you want
you know i'm dying
to
i'm sorry to have made you hurt like that
i.... miss you"
and their lips met in fainted gatherings
their
eyes broken down like christmas lights
with each one shattered and flashed of life
they knew they'd be alright
as
long as they'd have nothing to fear
not one doubt clogging their minds
deep dpwn inside they knew they'd last forever
if
forever was a lie
