"D is for danger"

Our souls are magnetized.
I eat all of your lies (that even you believe) until I'm past full.
You suck the sin out of my double-entendre words that are laced with snark & cruelty.
You carve the cruelty out of me until I am someone kind again.
You are:
A liquid injection of soothing, electric dopamine straight into my manic, anxious brain.
But, it all lies on a fraying piece of well-worn thread that is our fate.
Full of excuses, I love when you have your own best interests in mind, rather than mine.
Let's sink into oblivion, together; forever and always.
Your being picks and gnaws at my brain;
you torment the broken pieces of my heart -
with which you then scratch me with.
You starve the life out of me, you drain me, you wreck everything.
You fill me up with happiness, pure ecstasy brims over the top; I can feel you absorbing every blackened, rotten thought, so that I emerge green again.

I want to remain in this muted paradise forever.
Your flames will consume me.
