I've fallen.
I've become dependent,
addicted,
and needy.
I'm a lost boy,
looking for something to hold onto.
I thought that something was you,
but I was wrong.
Dead wrong.
I'm free falling,
reaching out for anything to grab onto.
Anything to keep me from crashing.
From breaking down.
I'm alone.
A lonely rose in a desert of ashes,
craving for water.
For attention.
For love,
and affection.
But,
instead of water i'm greeted with fire.
A blazing flame,
hellbent on burning me.
On hurting me.
I need a remedy to extinguish the flames.
I need a love so pure it'll heal my open wounds.
Gashes and cuts seeping deep,
burrowing into my soul,
craving a remedy.
But,
instead of a remedy,
I found you.
A drug.
A knife.
A sea of quicksand.
A user,
turning me into something indistinguishable.
Something,
unrecognizable.
I love so deep,
so wide.
You don't love at all.
It's "not your thing".
What you don't realize is,
I need it to be your thing.
I need you to need me.
To want me.
To hold me close,
and tight like your life depends on it,
because what you don't realize is,
my life does.
I need you to keep me close so I don't fall into oblivion,
because currently I'm free falling.
Free falling into a pit so dark and dangerous,
I don't think I'll ever come back from it.
