Injuries From My Mouth

We Are Broken

We Are Broken

We are broken

Two pieces that failed to fit into the puzzle

Each rain droplet reminded me that this won't last forever

The sky will cry it's tears

And I will too

I was okay with your words

How the sugar glazed poetry seemed to feed my hunger

The ache of loneliness and wishing for new love

I was learning to accept your hands

The touch of your fingers tracing my back

Right below my ribs in the curve of my body

But I don't think I will ever accept

How I loved your breath on mine

How I craved you to come closer

To close the gap between our two worlds

Your foreign lips whispered sweet things into my head

Part of me begged for them

To move from my neck

To my cheek

To my lips

But I knew it wasn't right.

My mind was screaming

My heart racing

And yours mimicking mine

You had read my eyes

And stared me down

For a single moment I wanted your fantasies

The dreams of a new chance

A better chance

Part of me knew it wouldn't work

But I still think of it everyday

I know that love and lust are two different words

And mean totally different things

But they still sound alike to me

A future with me in it may be current love

But you'll have someone better one day

I know you'll deny it for now

It doesn't change reality

We live in this day dream 

It's just another way in which we relate

Sadly I know all too well

The cost of ignoring the truth
