The Dream Is Always The Same

I see you and you are the most wonderful thing that I have ever laid eyes on.

My heart jumps. And I forget that I have ever felt pain before.

But it doesn't matter if I meet you in my mind or on the street.

I hold you close, and you fade away.

The dream is always the same.

A Disappearing Act

as the smoke emerges from my lips
i am hit by realization
this isn't my flame

my fingertips feel electric
as i run them over this smooth silk
and for a moment pretend that it is mine

sand falls into my open hand
with grains of silver and gold
i clench and see it slip away

it slips onto the delicate smooth
and i wrap it all up into a ball
and hold it close to my body

like magic -- eureka!

it disappears!

Intoxicated

in your seductive way your
toxic lips curled as your moves
ate away at my inhibitions
devilishly

nicotine embers and you flinch
but i never met you
and i don't know you
and you say that you've never done this before

Jewels

i smiled

as i saw you
violet
light streaming through a sapphire
the stars of a hundred different colours
dancing around your silhouette
as you towered over me

you spoke with that lovely smirk
with lies that only made me grin

you laughed at my jokes
as if i were real to you
i listened to your stories
as if you were real to me

as i reached for your hand
you reached for my wallet
i shook my head, and you paused

locked in each other's gaze
the words barely came out of my mouth
"allow me," i managed
as i reached
into my pocket

you smiled

Haunted

Long lost words whisper to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside

Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you
Loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Hunting you, I can smell you - alive
Your heart pounding in my head

Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me
Raping me
Watching me...
