Love and Lust
How long until this empty feeling is washed away with time?each moment of pain feels like an eternity
it surrounds me and takes over my being
like the sensation of when we touch
but you’re no longer here
and this unbearable agony has replaced you
How long until you become no more than a memory?
each second seem to be slowly demolishing my hope
it fills my head with the image of your face
like no one else in my life ever mattered
but I will find someone to heal the bloody scars
and they won’t be as ignorant as you
How long until I believe my own words?
it kills me that I could still love someone like you
like I haven’t been beaten to the floor enough already
but I can’t deny my yearning
and you won’t accept me into your life again anyway
How long until I rid of the damn gun once and for all?
it calls to me each sleepless night
like there’s no other way out
but I’m stronger than that
and I won’t stoop so low as to do that to myself
How long until my heart doesn’t skip a beat at the sound of your name?
it aches, the inevitable way it stops my breathing
like hands crushing my throat
but you don’t even have to try
and I could never affect you in that way
How long until my mind and body will overcome the desire for you?
it rips at my heart to want you so much
like you were ever worth it
but I’m starting to see you for what you are
and I never wanted anything more
