Musings of the Insane

Never Forever

He says he loves me,

understands me,

feels my pain,

loves me for me.

**

He whispers promises,

in my ear, quietly

telling me he's mine forever,

that he'll never leave me.

**

I listen with an open mind,

but I keep my heart shut tight.

I want to believe him, truly,

but I've been broken too many times.

**

Because no matter what they say,

they always run away,

and no matter what they promise,

it's never forever.

**

But I'll listen for now,

smile and agree with him,

knowing I will never give

him enough to break me.

**

I'll just show him enough to scare him,

enough to make him leave.

Because I already know he will,

it should hurt less, right? 

**

It will still hurt, I know,

and throb from time to time.

How could it not when he already

lit a passion so deep inside me.

**

He showed me heaven, hell,

everything in between.

His touch lights me up so bright,

an atomic blast, consuming my body.

**

He makes me feel alive,

like nothing else has,

my body is electric,

heating up like a furnace.

**

His hands on my hips,

his lips on mine,

every time he moves,

he turns me on.

**

His body is deadly,

his voice is fatal,

there is no way I can resist,

so I give in, powerless.
