[baby you're a vampire,
you want blood,
and i promised.]
you eat away at everything i've ever known,
your soul-sucking,
heart-wrecking smile,
and your wretched raspberry tongue,
melting me down until i'm just
the shell of a girl
wanting - no, needing - to save you.
[i'm a bad liar
with a savior complex.]
every time your arrows strike my
feeble, fleeting, fragile core,
more saccharine words of promise and endearing
ooze out like honeyed syrup;
it fills the gaping holes in your own being,
crystalizing until its nearly the same
as real flesh, real bone.
[all the bad dreams that you hide,
show me yours,
i'll show you mine.]
show, not tell.
show me how to fix you,
how to save you,
how to pour more of my cloying seduction into your heart,
how to candy, crystalize it until you are strong again,
how to lift you high, high, higher above my head,
because, honey, i get high from it!
