There's no more words.
None left to say.
I loved you, loved you
anyway...
like a dancer charming snake...
I forgot the bite's heartbreak.

Something leaden, in me grows...
like switchblades for the thorn of rose.
I tire now of my own tears--
and all my words are just veneer--
I tire of myself in love--
you search below,
I search above...

I want to hear the poetry
sentence sang in harmony...
Don't speak to me of theories
as your eyes caress my thigh...

I thought that you were different--
I thought that you were heaven sent.
I thought too much again it seems.
I do so hate to wake from dreams...

good read.

Heather (CherokeeGirl)

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

*sigh*
moth motto....
Reality sucks.

Mirror mirror on the wall....
whose rhymes always reflect my all.

When your own emptiness is all that's getting through
There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking
I passed that point long ago

This sounds so painful. I can feel the aching and torment. So well expressed, as always

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Yes, a good dream can sometimes be more real than reality.

'like a dancer charming snake...
I forgot the bite's heartbreak.'

Bitten again?
