Don't Read This One

i just want to feel your touch slide along the contour of my back

cold as ice your fingers burn into my skin as you plan your attack

devour my heart and encompass my soul in your clear glass jar

put it away on the top shelf into the sky with the moon and stars

save it for a special occasion or maybe for when you feel alone

in your overgrown garden of empty promises and all you postpone

and all you disown in the wake of the emotional combat zone

build me up, put me up on your pedestal and push me to the ground

as your dry eyes look down upon me with a bitter-sweet sound

and i just want to hold you, but youre like a ghost and gone forever

i gave you my everything, my all, and you didnt care whatsoever

and im so mad at myself that i cant just get over you,

you hurt me more than you and i both knew and ill never end up

following through with love because the pieces of my heart

are misconstrued in a mess of your point of view and i just want

to move on, i just want to escape or even just reshape the past

into a safer place for my thoughts to wander without having to

embrace the covers and pillows for something to grasp on to

something solid to keep me sane and in order to refrain from

calling you to try to explain that you still have every vein

leading to my heart causing a strain in my chest as every drop

of blood will drain and evaporate and ill collapse in pain

heroine lava be lead love.

Love unrequited is the worst kind of love. It is obsessive, and you capture the agony of it here. But also know that nothing lasts forever, not even obsessions, spoken by on who knows.

May I sugest that rather than on very long verse, break he piece up into stanzas of four-five lines; it would make the piece a lot more readable.

i know pain.. its individual.. yours doesn't say who it was that hurt you. I get that. It makes it even more interesting.. Forgive yourself tho.. You may want to read page 17 ish in my writng called I'm sorry, Will you forgive me? I had to.. Great write here...
