I Want To Be

The dragon tattoo that
wraps up and around your
body,
jets up your
thighs,
chicanes at your
hip,
and crawls diagonally up your
back.

I want to be those claws.
I want to dig into your
skin.

The only pair of shoes you
own
that you
never wear because bare is better;
sitting in your
closet;
waiting for you
to slip me on and tie me up.

I want to be that canvas.
I want to keep those feet warm.

The shelf with all your
books,
novelty items, and pictures of you
too;
empty during your
lonely times;
full during your
good times.

I want to be that wood.
I want to see your
good and bad times.


~Longevity.

Love,
Digress.

I Am Jaded

I can recall the feeling.
It was like an eight month
hang over.

There is little I can
do so
I salute you.
I only wish to do well
by honouring you.
Until then,
I shall turn
away from your grave
with a scrambled heart.



Love,
Digress.

Tomorrow looms

Is it so wrong to feel nothing? I feel no butterflies when we kiss(ed) and I don't want more hugs and I don't giggle-like-a-4th-grade-girl-with-her-first-crush. You crush(ed) me. But only partly, only a little more than I already was crushed by life-takers and 6 tattoos and brown eyes gone grey. I say 6 years, change for me. Become that perfection that can rescue me and fix this sh** and pull at the corners of my mouth until I smile I have to smile. Misery is always a delayed reaction. The journey goes as follows: shock (always first), laughter (because that makes it not real), (attempted) repair, ineedtotakecareofmyself, letgo giveup i'msorrybutican't. happiness? denial, bitter because i was so stupid to let you drag me down, imissyou he can't fill your void. misery. And there are two "you"s which is not the same as having only one. One from a history book. One, the other, an aching scorched tearing ripping agonizing.....void. A goneness that only YOU could leave. So I feel nothing. No bluebirds singing no homecooked dinners no butterflies. And I'll learn not to give in to the nighttime with its sadness and hurtyoulikeyouneverhurtbefore seductions. And what I want to know is when and how does healing start? Is it a self-starter or is it a choice one makes? I make?And tell me one last final thing, I want you to answer me this: did you ever deserve me?
