I fell for you
Your eyes
Your lips
Your body
Your sent
Your soul
Your heart
I fell for you
Your lies
The pain you caused
I fell for you once
Then many times over
Kept believing it would get better
You would change
I kept going back
Knowing my love for you never stopped
Knowing it was deeper than seas
Deeper than the forest
But you always left
After I knew it was over
I knew it w...
Mum.
why couldn’t you have been the mum I needed.
Why couldn’t have you loved and cared for me like one mothers should.
Instead I am getting the love you never gave me from another person mother. Im getting the care and kindness and the teachings of how to deal with boys and how to do my makeup and when my mental health is bad that I can talk about it and get help.
You only taught me one thing i...
You said you’d protect me and keep me out of harm’s way.
You said I’d be safe and no more hate would come my way.
You said I’d be happy and free, and I’d get everything I wished for.
You promised me life, you promised me marriage and you gave me hope.
All the words you said, soon began to accumulate, some things just didn’t add up.
Your anger reared its ugly head, you seethed with pride a...
I don’t think happiness always shows up when you need it.
You need to build it and nurture it.
Let go of the things holding you back
Evolve
Break down walls and rebuild them, brick by brick.
Happiness isn’t by chance
It’s every ladder of DNA, every tough decision you made, even when they don’t feel right at the time.
If you show up for yourself
Happiness will show up for you...
**Lying so still, caught in this trance,**
**Mixed signals flash, no steady stance.**
**A light on orange, can’t decide,**
**Do I keep close, or turn aside?**
**Green**
**To be loved, to feel whole,**
**To share secrets, heart and soul.**
**Red**
**A heart gone cold, walls built tall,**
**Am I wrong to fear the fall?**
**Green**
**If I’m myself, will he see?**
**What if he doesn’t like the r...
I don’t remember my life before you
that free feeling that I was use to
I don’t remember who I was
or what my mind does
I remember the first time I met you
you said your friends were very few
not thinking there was a before you
and an after view
I thought the sun will stay out forever
thinking I won the treasure
I didn’t know when it hit night
but all the sudden you held the knife
you di...
I’ve watched from afar, admired your ways,
Known with a certainty, stuck in a craze
On paper it’s perfect, our lives intertwine
Two spirits, one soul: a predestined design
Both athletic nerds, intelligent things
Obsessed with a story, entranced by some rings
A pet you can catch, a ball to be kicked
The cobalt and claret, a yellow mouse picked
But it’s more than our hobbies, our linked families
It...
My heart split in two
But it was fixed once I met you
That day we met, you liked my style
You made me laugh, you made me smile
Our love was love
That was until you were shoved
I pushed you away when you wanted to stay
I know I wasn’t right
you still wanted me so you wanted to fight
I made a mistake that pushed you away
And never thought of me the same
We tried to move on, but things wen...
You told me I’m giving up
That I don’t want to commit to you any more
That I am not putting in effort
And ur right
I gave up
I gave up faking a smile
I gave up putting up a face
A face that said I still love you
But I don’t
I don’t love you anymore
I’m done
I’m done pretending like the words you say don’t hurt me
The thing you do don’t affect me
I’m done
You right
I did give up
Not o...
