The Ruin I Chase


 

I still feel you next to me, your breath like a suffocating hug dances around my neck.

Your presence lingers in the air of my room, so smothering,

Your fingertips still burn the skin even though you are just a light mist.

I still cannot resist the urge to call you, to have you one more night.

You are my demise - the curse which keeps coming when I think I am healed.

Your addictive taste leaves me weak for days, I am going so insane

I can’t keep my mind occupied with clear thoughts.

I love how you mold me underneath you like how a potter shapes the clay to vase.

I am lost in your lips as if I am swimming in the ocean, sinking deeper.

Your voice is like a siren song to me, my resistance is pointless,

I have given up on me.

Let me have you one more time,

Poisoned from your scent I lose all the instincts for survival.

I love how primal I am with you, free from all the rules I try to keep,

I don’t like to stay in those lines, obedient, follower of the order.

When my demon meets your the real magic begins,

Two souls condemned, spellcasting in the darkness of the night,

Songs so loud, screams of promised evil seen as sinful yet so fulfilling those basic needs.

The knots of broken promises between us tied so strongly, entwined in one.

You and I together – a recipe for disaster, so dangerously playing the forbidden games.

No healthy boundaries between us, every rule to keep me safe is so easily unlearned.

You and I – synchronically creating art of passion and hurt,

Wounds so deep, impossible to cure, repeated scars, marks of stolen happiness.

We are treated as criminals – bold and unhinged in every aspect,

Our bodies laugh at the damage we inflict when we are together,

We cannot erase those moments; we are extremely toxic – normality is not for us.

Every time you pull me closer I feel the need to feel small and weak,

Like how the sugar dissolves into the hot tea – the smallest particles of me remain unchanged.

I am the milk to your coffee – making the bitter flavor bearable on the tip of your tongue.

You and I – so damaged yet together so complete,

I hope these traumas never heal – this play never gets too old.

Like a movie black-and-white, we are so classic – textbook emotionally unstable,

Push and pull, anxious avoidant – yet we manage to exist.

I still try to touch you in the morning even though you never stay the night

Looking for the sweetness of your mouth, I need this quick fix to survive another grey day,

Like a distant echo I still hear my words to have you one more time.

I keep promising myself I can quit you, yet my skin screams for you.

My body still shivers every time I remember your whisper in my ears.

I keep wonder if this hunger will ever be satisfied or it is just the thrill of you and I never be right for each other.

I keep being drawn to you like a moth into the flame knowing very well that

If I keep playing with your fire, I will burn down into ashes every minute,

Countdown so unpredictable, impossible to keep on track - 

Never to be whole again.
