You make me unsteady
wobbly on my feet
shake my breathing
You scare me
deep to my core
like an imploding supernova
You stepped out of nowhere
a silhouette from the dark
with the dark words my heart needs
You make me smile
like a silly girl
dreaming of hearts and flowers
You make me wet
like the naughty woman
blooming despite barren earth
You make me
you simply make me
unable to breath
unable to speak
unable to dream
You tell me all the right lies
and listen to all my woes
without running
without blinking
you are still there
But don’t say I did not warn you
the truth is there in the tags
in the words written
late at night
when darkness hits hardest
I am a runner
You make me seek the devil I know
like the neglected child
forlorn and disregarded
You seduce me
physically and mentally
but mostly emotionally
But don’t say you weren’t warned
on the day I disappear
running away before the truth arises
that you are not what you seem
and I will be left in the tall grass
waking from a daze
Don’t say you were not warned
the day I disappear
leaving nothing more
than disturbed earth
and a six foot grave
You, my dear man, make me unsteady
you make me inconsolable
you make my world convulse
and you are not the devil I know
