"Weakness"
Take me to the point
Where I wish to forget
Lips on mine
Whispers in my ear
Crystal blue eyes enslaving me
Moisten me so that I can deny
That you lie
Quicken my heart over and over
Even though
I know you will shatter it
Come back
Again and again
Even when banished
By my friends
By you
By me
Arouse the sin in me
The one that allows me to be ignorant
I know you hurt
You cause my soul to bleed
You are arsenic
And yet
I want you
Behind the bookstore
On the echoed stairway
In my bed
Screaming
Aching
Both
Wanting
For you to leave
And to come again
