My breathing was shallow,
Lungs barely filled.

My eyes felt half closed,
Not a colour painted upon my world.

Never a smile, nor a smirk.

I forgot the ability.

*** felt like labour.
Unpaid,
I was the worst *******.

My sense of self,
Lost in all of the characters I had created.

Loveless,
His flaw was showing he loved too much.

His skin hardened,
Met only with closed fists.

A lover,
Turned fighter,
With nothing to show for his scars.

My mind,
Drowning itself with dreams of you.

Your words linger,
Teasing my ears with vocal nectar.

What about you?

Feel my heart,
Racing against yours.
Whose is faster?

My scent,
Sticks to your clothes like lint.

My breath,
Will kiss your neck.

A touch without contact,
Shudder for me.

My hands,
You miss them?

I want them to imprison you,
A sentence for as long as you'd like.




- Tré

Lay me out in the sun,
Feel the warmth on my skin.

Shower me,
All of your tender love and affection.

Breathe me.
Inhale,
Exhale.
The oxygen of my calm.

Now I'm locked away.

Surrounded by darkness,
Cobwebs and dust.

My scent trapped.

Soil dry,
Petals withering.

Dying in the shadows,
Away from your light.

At least I'm still your favourite flower.

Right?

Lay down some flowers,
Forget me.

My fingers running through your hair,
Comforting you to sleep.

Forget me.

My hoarse laugh at your awful jokes.

Forget me.

My eyes gazing at you with nothing but sincerity.

Forget me.

My name and all of the memories the go with it.

I'm dead.

Not dead and gone,
Just dead to you.

Jump.

Let your body give in.

Allow yourself to plummet.

Feel the weightlessness?
That bed of air holding you afloat.

Now sink.

Go deeper.

Your worries dissolve.

Troubles dissipate.

Feel.

Fall,
In love.



-Tré

Oh, poor baby.
Does your mind wage war?

Oh, poor baby.
Does your heart ache once more?

Oh, poor baby.
Did you give her your trust?

Oh, poor baby.
You didn't know the difference,
Between love,
And lust.
