Ominous
There was fire in his eyes.
She couldn't put the fire out,
so she embraced it, and set herself
on fire.

I've lived through roughly six thousand five hundred and seventy sunsets,

Yet nothing compares to the light you have shined upon my face in only two very long days.

I don't know whether I should kiss you,
or destroy you.
Maybe I can’t do one without the other.
Maybe it’s the same thing.

Is it cause and effect?
Or simultaneous occurrence?
Not so much the spark that started the firestorm,
but spontaneous combustion.

Maybe you and I are the Big Bang
And we are the earth.
Fragile and young,
but, oh, look at that potential.
The first line is from a prompt found at writeworld.tumblr.com.
I wonder if you think of me
I wonder if your friends told you I say hi
I wonder if after they did you remembered

I hope you did, I hope you remembered
that I gave you every single piece of me
and you only gave me a part of you
because you were afraid,

you were afraid that I'd break your heart
but little did we both know, you broke mine,
but I don't think it gives the way I feel any justice,

you completely smashed my heart
into pieces so tiny that I haven't been able to
find any of them and it's been two years.

i think you're hiding them, because
everywhere I look I can't seem to find them.
I know where your part of you is.
it's buried into my pores, into my mind, my soul.
that even though it was minuscule it'll be there forever.

because I promised you id always care
and that I wouldn't break your heart
but darling, what we know now
is that it was never really
mine to break.

How do you let
go
of someone
that was injected
into your blood-
stream without
bleeding yourself
out entirely?

I don't think you know what its like to actually miss someone
you used to say you missed me after a day without seeing me
I didn't miss you then, but i did want to be with you

Now its been 120 days and you don't miss me at all
i miss you more than ever and it breaks my heart

you were my drug and i was addicted
i know my addiction only lasted 1 month and 19 days
but i had the craziest high with you
in those 50 days
you gave me memories to last a life time

its been 2880 hours since my last high
i have never craved something so much in my life
like your love
you have me sitting here thinking about you
17 weeks later
you haven't even done anything to make me crazy about you

if i was ever actually addicted to drugs
i would never detox
i would constantly crave it and would eventually give in
it would drive me crazy like you drive me crazy
i cant get the taste of your lips off my mind
i need you

we used to joke around
and i said you were my sustenance
you said i was too
but i wasn't kidding
you became an important part of my life

i can live without you
but i don't want to
you make me so happy
and you challenged me to think about who i really was

i do admit that i didn't like who i was with you
but i think thats why i miss you so much
because you gave me a rush and made me live
i did things with you that i never in a thousand years wouldve imagined doing
we went on wild adventures
i was always living on the edge with you
worrying about getting caught
thats why it was so exciting

i became addicted to that feeling
now i'm back to my old boring life
i miss the old days
but i need to move on

i think i will stop craving your affection soon
if not tomorrow
then the next day
ill keep telling myself this until its true

don't worry about how i am
because i know you don't care

and when you find yourself missing me in the middle of the night
call me
and i won't answer

i will no longer give in to my addictions
