destruction

The way you loved me

Was so volatile and destructive

I only remembered your love when your lips pushed against mine

And your hands buried themselves in my chest.

I told myself thats how you love me

For i breathed life into you

To stoke your flames of passion and violence

Because all i learnt my whole life

That the only way you could show love

Was to mold my heart with your tongue

I never learnt gentle caresses from words unspoken

Nor did i ever feel the effects of orgasmic bliss

For whenever you pushed my head down your body

Let my tongue bring you to a whole new world

You never did the same to me

But i believed that was love

I believed that the way i loved you

In my own broken, pathethic way

Was how love was meant to be

How sad it is

That the way we loved

Was all but a war we walked into willingly 

And yet as i stand here 

On my own battlefield 

Piecing my soul back together 

I watch you dance with someone else

What a storm of violence you are 

What a war i just won.
