 Torn From the Pages of My Heart

My Darling Criminal


I melt into thoughts of you
Till coffee in the afternoon turns gray
Until the day can no longer stay
Until the night chooses to take you away
And forces me into the covers of my bed

I sip the morning sun from a cup,
Relish in the warmth of its
Caress in my throat
And I look up to find you
Watching me, your eyes drinking me in
And in silence I beg you
To take me into your arms
If words fail me

Around, all around, patches of
Our sweet beginnings gather.
With the fondness in your words
Falling against my core,
Cutting me open in bliss,
My hesitation liquefies
And drips into a puddle of warmth
On the cold, uncaring floor
Where you soon forsake me with goodbye

I never could comprehend
How those words found chill
And morphed into steel
Against my heart.
Now alone, my revelation
Falls from bitter lips.
I awaken feeling
Suffocated by the regret in me.

Still I miss you…
More than you will ever know
Or even dare think. I miss you more
Than I could dare say in this spilled ink.
I miss you every day, every night
And even more in my tears
As it is now in my own tears I sink into
My own grief that I drink
So this is your love….
And it has cut me deep.

You're a cold-blooded criminal
For what you have done to my heart
You broke everything I could trust,
Drained me of everything I could afford
And yet still make it look like
The sweetest thing in the world
