I think you've made your point now

There are days where you make

my skin crawl

and nights when

I want to hear your voice.

There are moments

I would die

just to be in your arms

and hours

where I regret those thoughts.

Weeks go by

where you are a jaded, faded memory,

and months

where you haunt my dreams.

You dance around my head

on this sick, morbid

fantastic roller coaster

flying by so fast

I barely get a grip on you

before the ride is over

and there I stand

alone again

with nothing but a shoebox

of photographs

to remind me of what I try to forget.
