Not my soul mate

Not my soul mate

A Poem by SophietheSloth

Your face: paper planes in the sky
Your smile: a stroll that holds the secrets of tornadoes
Your voice: silky sheets wrapping imperfect diamonds 
Your name popping on my phone: the view of sunrise and scents of monsoon
Your hands.. Oh your hands: curves of misfortune and magic
Your eyes: I don't know. I haven't really looked
Your neck: a lively child wanting to love everyone

But I can't call you "dear", for our halos haven't touched 
And I can't call you "friend", we're past that
Shall I call you "my joy?", but you make me cry every night

We fight and fight and fight, but I can't seem to let you go

Stay? beautiful disaster? 
No, not beautiful, you're ugly

What do I want more of you
Am I addicted ?

You're what's wrong in this world
You're the translation of hatred and ugly jealousy

Oh those jealous hints you give, 
The upsetting feeling you get,
The anger and worry that I cause,
My heroin.

I know what you want
You want to lock my almost free spirit
You want to hold me till you break my bones
but you're not chasing
you're waiting for me to come
to enlarge my bubble and let your cancerous self in
Like an alligator, waiting for the bird to sleep in its mouth
but you're not as strong
or as fast, or patient

I don't know what you are
What made you target me?

But I know this
I'll always pick "me" over "you"
But what if picking me includes you?

Die, I can't kill you on my own
Please die

I'm not intellectual. Some weird thoughts cross my mind and I thought I'd write them here. You "if any" are a better audience than my awesome brain cells. more..
