Kiss me until it hurts.
Until you realize your worth.
Until your no longer blind to seeing that I don't deserve you.
&
I'll continue to make this situation sound like it's only you.
Like you're the only individual in this situation who's insecure, knowing damn well it takes two
to make a whole, like the one in your heart when you fall asleep because beneath the jewels in your teeth there's hurting.
Our moments are Priceless
but not in the sense of spontaneity.
But literally, they have no value to my memory
You'll press your lips against mine
& later my tongue will be twisted in the mouth of another.
& Ironcially,
the truth tastes funny in your jaws.
I keep building these walls, pushing you away, constructing my space, but you'll always knock them away.
I say the most hurtful words to your ears and I know they cut you deep sometimes.
But misery likes company so my wounded heart embraces your soul.
I know that
You're never told your true value, so let me remind you that you're beautiful.
Inside and out you're gorgeous, this world is your canvas and I am nothing but a tourist to your artwork.
Being in a relationship carries too much weight to an anorexic chest.
Your hearts too obese and mine is barely beating beneath the chambers that keep it together.
I don't believe in titles, I believe in temporary forevers.
I believe in Moments that feel like lifelines.
I believe in Memories that will last a lifetime.
But I am no Cinderella, & no one can tame the beast within my spirit, there will be no happy endings.
But I always thought those were overwritten anyway.
You're the remedy to my sadness.
The cure to this pain.
You're everything I've been missing, but you've come along at the wrong time.
The hands on the clock haven't worked in your favor, they've balled into fists In efforts to protect me from my own hurting.
Minutes don't freeze for a broken heart.
Seconds heal all.
& hours have become ours in my mind.
& when it's half past five you're the last thing I think of.
So enjoy this with me, this thing we share, that deserves a title I can never think of..
