Is this pretend?

by Vikki Owens

What you've said to me
left me wondering
could I go on in this life
without the mercy you grant me?

Whats this poison you've given me,
my heart, my own heart has wounded me,
are we pretending?

Are we walking in
the motions of....
I cant even think...
my thoughts are fractured by
the echos of
what you've done to me.

The residue
of my love for you
coats the bottom of my cup
and I close my eyes
and bottoms up
but you disappear.

I would drink you.
I would have you.
Let it burn me or bleach me
all I know is I need you
to need me.

There are no words for this,
I need one real kiss
to wake me,
wake me up.

I love your voice in this. So sharp and clearly knowing what it wants, quiet as it comes across at times. Well done.
