Untitled #18 - Distance

How can it be that the very thing which created us
Would be the very thing to tear us apart?

Distance.

Such a strong word whose strength is never known
Till it is lying next to you on the bed
Which you wish now that you'd never known.

Distance.

A reminder of the trains that come and go,
Stations and stations but there is always
A start and an end.

Distance.

It was fond when we were not together all the time.
When it is hard to get something, this person,
It makes it such a sweet, strong word.

You never realise the malice it carries
Till it becomes your bedfellow,
Till your partner becomes it in every way,
And even you, you diffuse at his touch and spread,
In every way, all away from him.

Distance.

The child we gave birth to unknowingly.
The one we let live while the others starved.
Where are all the little things?
How do you I get you back?
I'm so scared of this distance that I cannot measure
In millimeters or light years,
All I know is I can't reach you.
Give me love.

Distance.

I've become a broken record playing a fake Ed Sheeran.

Give a little time to me or burn this out,
I'm tired of this hide and seek,
There is no turning it around,
But all I want
Is the taste of your lips on mine,
My my, my my, my...
Oh give me love.

Untitled #17 - Drunken shame

Love,
Let me strip that one article of color from me,
You will see all gray and never question me -
The color choices or my state of mind,
My feelings of wanting to lash out
And wanting to be confined;

Can you ever lock me away in a room?
Where I'm helpless and nothing,
Just your tool?
Your toy to use and only be used,
A being knowing nothing
But your pleasure well due ;

Or could you throw yourself at my mercy?
Where I'll exploit you to my will,
I'll hurt you like it hurts me,
My memories and my will,
I'll show you how pain can't be pleasure
But is pleasure all the same -

And you'll forever submit to me,
Be my slave.
Because only in this drunken state
Do we know no shame.
