I want it so loud my ears are ringing for days

the whisper of your melancholy words in my brain

I want it to attack when I least expect 

and render me incapable of coherent thought

your lucid pronunciation becomes my own

I start to lose myself in whispered words, I'm undone

let the drip of conscious slide down my back

as I'm released back into your arms where I belong

like tapping fingers on my throat you consume

the cloud of you the air I breathe begins to choke

easily they fall from your lips

to bring sweet pestilence to my ear

the note rumbles from you as an earthquake to a shore

the wave of you seduces me

and leaves me an open sore

the sustain in your throat leaves me with bated breath

as you suck from my lungs the air and you begin to possess

the candid silence I hear in your pause

I've known from the very start: I'm yours.

your tender kiss lands upon my lobe

I bathe in the poignant simplicity of your verse

it swims around my love of your spoken word

you condemn me to deliverance

one that I cannot forgo

you lick me prosey and a delight

for yours is one I cannot forget

you speak again and wind around me

like a ribbon for a child you're affluent within
how long is a piece of string you may ask
about as long as my fondness for your voice, my love.

Loving you was a fantasy that I held onto

For so long it became a story

A sad tale of misfortune

A desire unfulfilled like so many

Left behind, like broken childhood toys

And this one just like the others

All fade with time

It's hard to hold this candle

While you're not mine

I could almost taste you on my tongue

I almost had you

But now you're gone.

Didn't you see that I was fragile

That you should hold me up the right way?

Glass bones to break me with

Shattered inside of me

Splinters of my longing

Embedded in my tongue

So it hurts when I don't talk of you

Of what we could've done

It alters when it alteration finds

Well I find alteration in you

And it's one I don't like

I'm sick of defending you

Being taken for a ride

As we walk towards the end

It's the end

Of a life

I am an instrument of destruction

The pinnacle of realisation

Moving faster and faster

Towards salvation

Of the cruellest kind

I'd written you pretty

I wont apologise for feeling

For being

More than you could handle

Bite my tongue

Speak volumes

Or close my eyes

If you're a force of nature

Then tell me how to feel

Doesn't stop it being real

In my mind

You're already here

But we're

Father away

Than ever

We're scared

And everyone's a fucking terrorist

Lay your cards on

The table's full

Of your ignorance and empty bottled

Dreams

I don't care if it hurts

just lay it bare

The truth will do

But for how long

Can I listen to you?

A desire to interrupt

To break you down

Fills me with malice

"We're living in wonderland Alice"

I'll drink you up

And become bigger than you

You're the bottled poison

I'd love to devour

To consume

Stay away from this one

Please promise me you will

She'll eat your heart

If she gets the chance

And chances are she will

She stares and guides

With starry eyes

And leads you to your fall

Not beast

Nor no, not man

For aye she's twice as cruel

A Medusa in her own right

Soon stone your heart will be

My lady puts villains to shame

And that dame, is me
