Fleeting Feelings

When I step into the room,

I see you

When you step away,

I see you

My ray My shine

My dream that seeps into you,

Disappear

Into that wind

Disappear

From my skin

Disappear

From my persistent

Fleeting Feelings.


One word

I'm hurt

One taste

And I can't seem to stop.


Stop feeling

These fleeting feelings.

One step

Toward you

One step

Into this darkness

One stepIs all it takes

To bring me back to you.

One jump

One leap

One climb

One crawl away

Are these three stems

Of hatred, anger and joy

Because I can't breathe.

My teeth clench crimson

The colour of your tears,

I don't know how to respond,

I don't know why I respond


My hands have the scars to prove it.

How do I stop myself from feeling you?

Your touch

The smile that you bring to my lips when I pick you up and put you against my skin.When I drag you across my arms.

You treacherous blade,

STOP!

Stop enticing me into hurting myself more than I already do.

You say you love me but you don't.

You love what you make me feel.

You love that I'm helpless when it comes to you

You visit me every day


Every minute

Every second

Every fleeting millisecond.

Breathe

I am going to fight you.

I am going to keep fighting you.

I am going to stay right here.

And say no.

Because

We are so much more,

Breezing through life,

Pretty as a picture

Vibrant as the colour of my eyes,

Stay

I need you

Stay

You need me

Stay

Because without you,

I disappear.
