What A Funny Little Creature

What funny little creature you are

Made this dead heart beat

Made grey the most beautiful colour

Made me hope again

You look at me like you haven't changed me

Like you haven't made my insides ignite and an explosion go off

How dare you let me feel this way?

How dare you make me so dependent?

How dare you crushing me and building me up, all constantly with no sight of stopping?

I was doing fine before you came and brought me back to life

I was doing fine living like a ghost

Why do you have to make me wanna live again?

Why do you have to make me wanna trust again?

Why do you do all these things with the simplest of actions?

How dare you stroll into my life and crushing my world with your bare presence?

I never knew that pain could feel this sweet

But you gave me a taste and suddenly the bitter taste of loneliness isn't enough for me anymore

Used to call it an acquired taste

But that's a code word for pretending to like something in the context of being mature

I admit it now

Are you happy?

The bitter taste of loneliness isn't good

It's desperation, it's agony, it's screaming into an empty room full of people

Never hearing a response

I never thought I'd be writing love poems

But you had to take that away from me

With an oblivious smile you've wrecked me

I get it now

I get why all these singers and poets write about love

I hate all of this

This change brings insecurity in me

The worst thing about this taste is knowing that it exists

And it's better than anything I could've ever imagined

It's a pain that kills me in a way that I don't mind dying in

What a funny little creature you are
