You’re Shameless

Briana Barnes

1 min read

There’s something about being called a problem

That makes me want to be maniacal

A menace you could say…

It’s just so funny because even though everything in me is pushing me in that direction…

I was not wired that way.

Too nice for my own good.

Always taken for granted.

What have you ever done for me?

Except leave.

And show me you’re shameless.

I have a lot to give,

And I know you know that.

Hate that I entertained you…

Why am I like this?

Accepting to a fault…

And NO, I don’t deserve this.

Goodness outpouring from my veins…

I can’t help it.

And inate need to help anyway I can…

And you took, when it was convenient.

Beneath the surface I am good.

Misunderstood, but good.

What are you though?

Twisted in some sense…

People don’t treat people that way,

When they ‘care’ about them.

Too Many Goodbyes

I think it finally happened…

I think I hate you now…

I don’t know what took me so long to really…

Because it was always about you,

And never me.

Put you first,

You loved that.

Me always on the back burner…

My feelings never mattering enough.

As lovers or even just as friends,

You deceived me.

Made me believe all the things…

When in reality,

Nothing you ever said was true.

Unless it came to ...

Sometimes Even Being Nice Means War

I held his hand tight, and I was never letting go… at least that’s what I told myself when it all began. Because I ride or die. And if I love you, if I care about you I’m always going to be by your side. But somehow I’m the one that’s always being left.

Of course when we started there was nothing platonic about it. It was an instantaneous intense connection. One neither one of us could deny. A p...

To Love Or Not To Love

Briana Barnes

I loved. That was always my story. I loved. Probably too much. Always pouring from a cup that was never replenished. I loved. I never looked back. I never regretted it. Because I wouldn’t be me, if I didn’t put my all into it. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t try until my heart was black and blue. But I was never loved back in the right way. In the way that took me serious. In the way where they actua...

Just One More Sip

Do I let the liquor take over?

Let it do things I normally couldn’t shoulder…

If I wasn’t emboldened,

By this sweet concoction I’ve chosen.

Do I let it over take me?

Let it show me things…

I haven’t seen,

After all whatever will be will be....

Never Enough

Briana Barnes

1 min read

It was always me…

Loving with all I had to give,

As I watched everyone else leave.

Being missed,

But never wanted.

Lusted after,

Never loved.

Forbidden,

What could be…

But never was.

Always left wondering,

Why I’m never enough....

In Another Life

In another life…

Did we end up happy?

Did we fight against all odds…

And end up where we needed to be?

With each other?

Never needing any other lovers…

Because right from the start we knew,

Just how much of a crime it would be to be apart.

Never giving up.

Never breaking.

Because our faith in each other was unwavering.

I think of what could of been

And what is…

And I hope somewhere in anoth...

Overpowering.

Unwavering .

Foolish .

Why do I still hold a flame?

Loving you …

I became forever changed,

And there is no use trying…

I’ll never be the same....

Unlocked, Unlinked, Forever Broken

There’s a certain sadness that comes,

With your cold and unyielding ways.

A sort of disruption…

When your actions don’t match,

The things that you say.

I’m only human…

Can you really fault me,

When the things you caused,

Cause an upset?

Feelings don’t just go away,

Because you want them too.

I’ve tried.

What’s meant to be will be…

Where there is a will there is always a way.

And you didn’t st...
