Diary Entry
Peace seems so rare anymore. It occurs in small bursts and only after long, senseless arguments. It is brief, but sustaining until the tension builds and we are at each others throats again.
At times, I dare not speak for fear of bursting the fragile bubble of our Peace. I walk on eggshells in my own home that isn’t really my home. I am ever aware of the precarious state I am in; say nothing, do nothing to provoke your rage. Say nothing, do nothing that will get me yelled at again.
I fear to answer the simplest of questions because I have lost my voice. I don’t have an...

Selfish
It was never about my pleasure
The motions were swift and uncaring
You used my body to chase your high
And always left me wanting
I always did my best to please you
Acts that left me feeling ashamed
You gave up on me before we even got started
Didn't fight for me when walked away
You should've made love to me like your life depended on it
You should've bared your soul to me
Trusted me
And made an attempt to make me feel special
You should've made me feel safe enough to explore myself
Should've taught me how ...

I still feel you/First date aftermath
I can still feel the delicious bite
Of your stubble upon my skin
I can feel your hand upon thigh
The hypnotic state you've put me in
I feel your lips on mine at night
The taste of which makes me shiver
Your hands in my hair
The purity of your stare
The magnitude of which makes quiver
Of your stubble upon my skin
I can feel your hand upon thigh
The hypnotic state you've put me in
I feel your lips on mine at night
The taste of which makes me shiver
Your hands in my hair
The purity of your stare
The magnitude of which makes quiver

Attraction
Desire is a strange phenomenon
A person glides into your atmosphere
And while you can't quite put your finger on it
You feel drawn to them somehow
An electric charge cracks through the air
Whenever that person enters the room
As that person walks your way, it's as if they're a lightning storm and you are a grounding rod
In those moments, that person is more than human
Some elemental force
A person glides into your atmosphere
And while you can't quite put your finger on it
You feel drawn to them somehow
An electric charge cracks through the air
Whenever that person enters the room
As that person walks your way, it's as if they're a lightning storm and you are a grounding rod
In those moments, that person is more than human
Some elemental force

The Breakup
Ahhh
That moment I have so desperately been trying to avoid
That feeling that has been nagging me and leaving me annoyed
Was it too much to ask you for a bit of honesty?
To expect you to step up and want to spend more time with me?
Why bother trying to start something. if you weren't ready to follow through?
Why get all of my hopes up, pretending I had a chance with you?
If all you wanted just to fuck, there are plenty of women more willing
I gave you something more precious - my trust - and now my soul you're killing
This breakup I see, is needed...

Your Hands
As the nights grow colder
My hands are my only comfort
I wish to God, that they were your hands
I know what your arms feel like
As we have embraced on more than one occasion
I know the way your body feels pressed against mine
I remember the sweet intoxication of your scent
The feel of your lips and stubble against my face
(I have far too often wondered what those lips and that stubble would feel like against more sensitive flesh)
But I don't know the feel of your hands.
I've yet had opportunity to hold your hands
Or feel them...
My hands are my only comfort
I wish to God, that they were your hands
I know what your arms feel like
As we have embraced on more than one occasion
I know the way your body feels pressed against mine
I remember the sweet intoxication of your scent
The feel of your lips and stubble against my face
(I have far too often wondered what those lips and that stubble would feel like against more sensitive flesh)
But I don't know the feel of your hands.
I've yet had opportunity to hold your hands
Or feel them...
