Matt (2017)

Here’s an idea
Stop being fucking infuriating

Can’t have it your way, you have no way
You have ways that are foreign to me

Why did you look at me differently today?

You cut deep
Nothing could be further from me than you

You brush past, brush me off
You brush past and my body lightly buzzes

Something ignites in me when our eyes meet

The only light in your eyes is the reflection of the fire burning in mine

Frustration to the highest degree
These flames are swallowing me

I pray for rain to come and put it out
So that the only remnants of my love
Are smoking ashes on the ground

-

Why 
Why this constant pull

Can’t I leave you to your world?
Your world has crumbled and been rebuilt, been rebuilt and then crumbled
Why do I continue to throw pebbles over the city walls?

You hide far
Nothing could be further from you than me

I try hard, try to light your candle
I try hard and fall face first into a puddle on the pavement

I scrape up my face all bloody

The only scars on my face are the ones from holding my lit candle too close to my own face

Instead of drying my tears
They singed off my eyebrows and eyelashes

I pray they grow back in an orderly fashion
So that my outward appearance
Will not be as wild
As the creature that lives inside me
Thirsting for you
