You might never know

You might never see

How big of an effect

You had on me

The constant terror

The constant pain

It haunts me always

But my screams are in vain

As I looked into your eyes

I saw my future go up in flames

And that moment I knew

I would never, ever be the same...

It’s me

Your addiction

I’m the one who will always be looking over your shoulder

Demanding you to give in

Taking your free will in my dark, cold hands and strangling it

I will always be there

Even if you think you’re getting better

I’m always one glance away

So don’t be fooled

You can never escape me...

Love is light

Love is true

Love is us

Love is you

A touch of a hand

Two eyes meeting

The sound of a heart

Beat, beat, beating

A salty breeze

A soft kiss

A warm smile

Uninterrupted bliss...

I remember when I played dress up

The frilly dresses and the plastic tiaras

There were no worries in the world

I remember when I used a hairbrush as a microphone

Singing my heart out to Disney tunes

I remember when I could do my hair in pigtails

Pigtails were my favorite

I remember when I took off the tiara

I wasn’t a real princess

I remember when I turned off the Disney tunes

I began to listen ...

I’m toxic

Don’t start to care for me

Don’t give me your heart

I will let it bleed

I will tear your heart piece by piece

And give it back to you torn and damaged

You are pure and light

I will take that light and dampen it

I don’t mean to

But I can’t let good things into my world

So I ruin them

I leave my friends unfurled

I promise I care

And I promise I try

But the second things go bad

I run and...

Love is the lie that keeps us alive

Its the match to our flame

It’s the blue to our sky

Love is the lie that we all have felt

Given and taken

From somebody else

Love is the lie that makes us believe

There is something in this world

Something bigger for me

What if the lie isn’t the love

What if it’s the people we know

The ones we belove?

Maybe we need the love to live

Maybe we need the people ...

Song: Labour- Paris Paloma

Why are you hanging on?

It’s easy to let go

It’s easy to forget

Just unclench your fist

Why am I hanging on?

It should be easy to let go

Why can’t I forget

My fist stays tight...

Strangers

A hello

A hot coffee

Blooming into a friendship

A coffee and phone number

A risky late night message sent

Friends that could be into something more

An invite to a dinner— dress up fancy

A midnight porch kiss, light flicking on and off

A silly little fight, everything will be fine

Communication slowing down, “Sorry I’ve been busy”

“Oh, its fine. Take your time.”

But don’t wait too long
