Empty Bottles
I was intoxicating wasn't I?
I had such a combustible presence in your midst you couldn't handle any missteps
When I gave you a subtle kiss when I told you I could've loved you
I could've given you my world and let you have me a thousand times
I wouldn't have said no even if it meant my mind would've been gouged through my eye sockets and doused with a lime
To pour into your wine as you get drunk off the secrets you'd find
I love you.
I love you I loved you
I love the you you were before you
You were mine to define what love was
Or was not
I wanted you against me to feel my heart beat for every syllable you were to me
The drum and hum of a silent beat that spoke to me when you touched me
You
We didn't make-
I loved, you took me without leaving anything left
My friends my home my life
You left me wanting to die and I did every night.
I killed myself everyday trying to get away from my lustful justification
For loving your words like daggers in my eyes
Your smile like poison in my thighs
Your laugh like acid on my tongue
I lost consciousness and pleaded to stay in that place because I was with you.
I wanted you to have all of me and you already did.
