Sadist

Something I wrote a long time ago about a past love. However, it still rings true to this day.

burning me,

cooling me

with every syllable,

every dash of control

escaping your breath.

you made me a masochist,

sleepless nights

and full plates,

punishing me for hoping.

you were only a dream,

a passing thought,

an unobtainable wisp

stuck in a web.

my mistake,

and 

my miracle.

Love truly can at times have sadistic qualities that can drive a heart to madness. It may start off with beauty but its direction can swiftly change to a more darker nature. Balance is always the most appropriate action when it comes to this emotion.
