"Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."--Dead Poet's Society


Skin on skin contact
And I feel you like a winter storm.
You're a rushing wave of destruction and I can’t pull myself away.
Turn my blood into an artic river.
It runs cold anyway.

Hollow me out and fill me with you.
Don’t mind my tears
Turn them to ice.
Chill me with your chalky eyes.
Stare at me until I forget.
Numb me with your body.
Make me crave something more.

Kill me slowly until I find the strength to run from you.

I've never been in an abusive relationship, but I've witnessed them. That's what this is about.
