People Like You

I took you in like sunlight
Glitter words between your jaws
Sweet little dreams
Easy to topple
Domino easy
So like screenwriter fantasy
I drew you in
Every part of my
Petty life
And now we fight and we
Scream
Angry glass arguments
Shatter with
Charged explosive silence
I never miss people like you
But I do
Ache for your
Bitter passion
And lust after
Your
Hideous worship
So I took you in
Like sweet cancer sunlight
And loved
you
Right into
My skin
All of my poetry is best read out loud. Please do so for the full effect. I<3 comments and constructive criticism.

Really touched me. I loved the broken feel, the undertone of eroticism, the delicate way of portrayal a relationship not just by describing it but by bringing it alive in all senses - words, structure and build up. There are little moments of realization in this poem, as in - Angry glass arguments / Shatter with - and you understand that the poem is built in a shattered way.

This is really a splendid work, the only thing bothered me was the lack of punctuation. :nod:
