Some Form Of A Love Story

*spilling a bit*


You love like noose and neck
Like rock, hard place and knuckle
Stuck in the limbo of unforgettable moments
when emotions under your skin fall crooked from your mouth
They fall like hollow promises and empty ring boxes
turning me into a makeshift punching bag with a heartbeat
Your angry chokes me into silence
Like stillborn children searching for their first breath
And ain’t no one here to hold me when you won’t
Besides, there’s no substitute for you anyway
This rib-type love is custom made to fit
because I was born for you
That’s why it hurts so much when you break me
When you detach self from our world
And just leave shadows in my arms
I always mistreat the shadows for your decisions
I try to leave them behind but they always follow me
making me remember you
And most times I know you’ll come back,
but it doesn’t make it hurt any less in
It doesn’t stop the blame that lurks in my thoughts
During times like this, I feel lost and alone
So, when you’re done being frustrated and mad at the world,
just come on home

P. S. I love you
