Violent Love

Lay down 

Next to me 

I feel your warmth 

Your body close

I see my heart 

Thumping 

I see my life 

Up and down 

As it's supposed to go

My head sings

Of the violent love we share

It's so good for me

It wakes me  

From the deepest slumber

I didn't want to leave

Fought hard against it

I needed someone 

To fight passionately for me

As I wasn't going 

To be easy

It wasn't supposed to 

It never is

We all want easy

Easy is boring

Easy is work

Commute

Sit

Type

Easy is soul diffusing 

It's easy to forget 

Who you really are

What you really want 

I don't ever forget 

I just make myself 

Look away

And stay

Like he made me learn

I was just too young 

To understand why 

Or understand it

Or change it

Or stop the monster inside

To afraid to love 

Or be touched 

It's confusing 

Hard

And one only wants life to stop

So it can be easy 

Easy that I won't have to deal 

Or feel

Or live

But it's not real

I never wanted easy

I wanted soul crushing

Heart ripping

Passionately slapped 

It's all been a big bore since 

But I tell myself it's what I need now

I believe it

Keep going 

Maybe soon 

I might let someone in

Someone I don't know

It sounds so much work 

I just don't want

To always be alone

Even though I'm not

Not really 

I lay down

You're already there 

You snuggle up next to me

I feel your heartbeat 

I count my heart beats

I know I am where I need to be

I see it's all so confusing 

As I am alive 

You lean in

Kiss my ear

I flinch 

It tickles

It's not real

You vanish 

Once I point it out

It doesn't matter

I am fine

I don't need anyone 

As when I do

It only occurs in my head

And I realize 

I have nothing to give 

Nothing to say

On any matter

I haven't really lived 

Not enough to get it

The intimacies

Between two 

Still scare me

Makes me flee inside 

Still believing the lies 

I don't get it

I have tried

But it's too hard for me

I wanted to understand 

I wanted to be apart

It's an awful feeling 

To look through a window 

And not being able to do

Anything you want to do

It's how I am

My eyes are like steel bars 

Barriers I can't deal

I don't feel 

I needed violent passion

But I also needed tenderness and pleasure

I just couldn't let it in

Or admit I wanted it

A good fight 

Is good for the soul

Facing hard truths

Are good for the body

Someone forcing you 

Against all desire 

Is often necessary 

As sleeping is too tempting 

To just sleep 

And be 

Alone

Is mostly what I want

I have to remind myself 

And fight to remember 

Who I am 

And what I am after

And I give up

So someone reminds me 

I remember 

Ah yes, I did want that 

It's too hard

I am sure I'll never arrive

As life is too full 

Of unwanted things

They suck up 

The whole damn thing

I wish it weren't that way

I wish I could change it

It feels confining and suffocating 

Will it always be?

Will the truly beautiful stuff 

Always be out of reach?

37

Untouched and Silent

I regret still

Throwing you away

You were once mine

Weren't you?

But now you belong 

To someone else 

I am so very glad you're settled

As you always wanted

I have remedied

My desire

I no longer want to settle 

Here or anywhere 

I want to remain free

Always 

I still haven't seen 

It's worth it

So really how I am supposed to know?

It's too complicated 

Life

And mine is too consuming

On purpose 

It's a great excuse 

But still I am empty

Life doesn't fill me up

I dream of flooding

And great big whales

Stuck in pools

And snow ends the water

Does it all mean

Things about me?

Heavily burdened I am?!

Emotionally cold?!

Powerful

Overwhelming 

Emotions 

Right

Well it's not like 

I can be honest

I mean where 

Does it get me?

I try sometimes 

But eventually I have to look away

Too much is wrong

And out of place 

Ok, here it goes again 

I want to move out west

Act

Love life

I know this 

Seeing it hasn't changed it

I am still stuck 

Inside this prism

And while I should want

To be with someone 

I don't 

Not really 

I can't get over

The pain of the past

How it all doesn't last

And I always end up alone 

I am sick of it never being me 

I deserve more

I don't get it

I only get heartache and suffering 

Don't think I don't get 

How it actually went down

I have fuzzy 

Embarrassing memories 

But it doesn't change 

Reality 

As when you are unconscious 

You're still accountable

I can't blame it on anyone 

That I pushed you so far away 

It's on me

I just never actually thought you'd leave 

But I am glad 

You have what you want

And I don't ever want 

To lose myself in someone again 

Never going to lose control again 

I will remain upright

Untouched 

And silent 

And maybe find someone 

Who can deal with that 

It's a hard harsh life

But I have a purpose
