I stay negative. I hit your words away, good or bad. I cry with frustration. I miss you when you hold me. I say things I don't remember and things I don't mean but they still hurt you and they still hurt me.
I need security. I need the routine of this. I need the promise from your mouth that you will be with me and only me.
I love you terribly. So much it hurts. I want you near me, inside me, next to me, so much so that my skin begins to ache.
I smother everything I touch.
I've never done anything half heartedly, nothing that I care about anyways. Too sensitive, too passionate for anything. I miss the numbness of those pills, my inability to cry.
I'm like a huge hot tropical flower with massive petals, strangling everything I touch and need and feed off of with my roots. I climb the highest trees with my vines covered in thorns and I plumb the richest deepest dirt, feeding and feeding until everything is dead around me. I am radiant and gorgeous in my prime, my terrible monstrous throbbing beauty. I smell like meat and male flies land on me and I trap them and digest them slowly or rapidly, depending on the fly, become engorged, spit out the tiny black hairy legs..
I wish a big deer would come along and eat me, but such is certain death, and the deer know this, and stay away.
