Love is about the feeling.....

you bend the truth 

until it cracks 

you watch it bleed 

and you plant roses 

on my grave 

and expect it to grow 

you knocked the words out of my lungs 

and expect me to breathe 

through the ventilator of you 

you kiss lies 

with the words I love you 

you whitewashed the past 

with white out

you blot out the blood 

with your lips 

you lap up my feelings 

with your tongue 

and push down my throat 

and devour the bitter aftertaste of your sickening love

you dust my tongue with sugar 

and got me addicted to the sweet taste of sin 

you origami the truth 

and make it beautiful 

you write poetry with your lies 

you sing lullabic tunes 

stripped from the songs I sing while 

I fall asleep in your crystalized 

eyes encased with chipped truths

and you hold me and tell 

me this is LOVE ........

but I know otherwise 

to say anything 

because you keep me warm 

you keep me warm

I am a blood sucking parasite just trying to feel 

all I wanna do is feel alive
