I don't want to see

what you see in me. I know

that I will cry.

Don't want to hold on

to my wildest dreams -

not as pretty as they seem.

I fall -

you climb.

I lose what once was mine

My stomach turns

at their love.

My soul is burned

by magic.

Lose my mind in the abyss

that I built myself.

I'm not right

and you're not wrong

as I slave to your caring kiss.

Filled with love

and filled with hate.

A crimson, tortured, gentle fate.

I lose

when I see the real me.

Hide. When the horror that I am

set free.

A river flows

from bloodshot eyes. Lost

the last flicker of life.

I shout. Out of jealously.

Not caring if they stare at me.

I run

like the coward I am.

Chasing the impossible.

Death and destruction

in my wake. Family

forgotten. Consumed

with rage.

Save me. I regret.

Love me. I want you.

Hate me. Please don't.

Help me.

Leave me be.
