Forgotten
You’ve forgotten about me,
Haven’t you.
I am, indeed, an old trinket,
Forgotten and bruised.
You played with me like a toy,
Smiling and laughing,
Until I bored you and was not enough.
Now I lie and rust,
With eternal wounds that have scarred.
You’ve forgotten about me,
But I can never forget you.
The small marks upon my sullen skin
Could write out your name.
I was just a toy for your amus...
Atom
Your words wound me deeply,
But your silence hurts even more,
I was the boy who wanted to explore,
beaten down to an atom,
with no more to adore.
The arguments we had hurt to the core,
knowing the only defense for you,
is for me to be ignored,
Does that make you feel warm?
knowing that you started a storm,
that can not be reformed until your thoughts are restored?
I’ll distance myself.

Never Stop
Do want you want
You are so amazing
You came at the right time
Now you destroy me
But your love is so intoxicating
You make me want it
It’s whatever you want
I want to please you
You say things you dont mean
I want to say I’m never going back
Never going back
But I still love
Still love
I’ll try to love someone else
Your words cut me deeply
But your silence does more…
Never s...
Betrayal
“Your words wound me deeply,” My voice cracked with each word. “But your silence hurts even more.” My mother did nothing, said nothing, to defend herself. She had planned and executed everything with help from her new husband. My throat sore from screaming and crying, begging for my own mother not to do this, but she didn’t give any hint of an attempt to stop all of this.
“The contract has been ...
Lover Of Mine
My heart longed for you, crying in silence.
Your words wound me deeply, but your silence hurts even more.
I broke the trust we had, dragging you back to your darkest days.
The painful times I promised to never repeat.
You fought fiercely to keep our love alive.
Fighting for me.
Fighting by me.
But I did not rose to meet you at the podium.
Letting you down was my greatest regret.
One I'm ...
Father Time
“If I love you I can’t lie to you”
“Of course you can lie to me , cuz what the hell do i care about the truth?i care if your were there
And what- what does the truth matter? And why you gonna be truthful with me when you lie to everybody else? You lied when you smiled at my father, treat me the same way you treat him. Lie to me , smile”
“I can’t treat you that way”
“You must,you must,because I...
Charlie,
I don’t know how you do it. You can wound me with just a look. Maybe it’s because you genuinely used to feel like my friend. I know you remember the hours we spent building a fort in the backyard. You have to remember us begging mom and dad to take us for milkshakes when we got tired of building. And there’s no way you have forgotten the scavenger hunts we used to create for the neighbors. Teammat...
Crochet
We had always loved crocheting together. We’d sit on the porch for hours, talking, laughing, sharing stories of the past and our future together. My favorite time would be the fall, when it was cooler and the wind was blowing our hair. Our cat would be curled by the window, in his little basket. Those were simpler times.
When you lost interest in that and started going out on those nights, I had...
Silently Dying
Your words are
Daggers, slashing
Through my walls
All the way to this crashing,
Weak heart
Wounds open where you cut
But over time they
Become scars and shut
‘Till only traces tell of our decay
Your silence is
A machine gun
Or maybe a nuclear bomb?
Your silence is
A direct crit hit
It strikes once and kills
Yet you always
Pull me back from the brink
Like you can‘t part ways
Though you attack ...
Shadows In The Daylight
She sat there, not saying a word.
“Evangeline,” said mark. “Would you say something? Anything?”
Evangeline didn’t say anything. She didn’t nod her head. She didn’t shake it. She didn’t move.
Mark took her hands into his. “Evie, I know you don’t want me to go but I don’t have a choise. I-I have to go to war. I’m the crown prince and I have to help fight for my kingdom, because my father wo...
