I know you think it's no big deal:
A little bit once in a while,
But don't forget why you conceal
What has landed you in your trial.
Don't know if you realize the danger
You're putting yourself into.
He is no better than a stranger;
I don't mean to me, but to you.
I know you know I get explosive
When you try to mention desire;
You don't see your habit's corrosive -
You don't see it's causing the...
We didn't choose this,
but somehow it happened
pulled by forces we couldn’t fight.
You’re still here with me,
in the smallest things:
a smile, a memory,
a quiet thought that stays longer than it should.
We weren’t meant to end,
but the world had other plans.
Now, all that's left is the space between us
a distance I can’t cross.
Yet even as we part,
you’re in every moment,
in every breath of th...
You seem a professional
Reading between lines
Tracing topography
You carve so carelessly
Cockiness that comes
From doing the same thing
Ages far too long
Too stuck in your ways
To see different paths
Valleys and mountains
You depict symbols
Matching the false key
A facade to my
Ever broken heart
You believe the earth flat
Ne’er ‘round emotionally
Not dimensions’ globe
Perhaps you’re a f...
TW-SH (as always i guess)
My heart is full of scars
My mind’s a battle ground
But nobody sees that
I want to cry out in pain but nothing hurts
What’s wrong with me?
Nobody see’s my my heart of torn up mess
Nobody knows I’m losing this war
Instead they see lines
Thick open red ones
Thin white strokes
Each a story
A story of distress
When I’ve carved out my flesh
Created canyons of red
And riv...
It’s a pen-marked release
A kitten born of beast
At least the teeth remain the same
When the feline starts to feast
To make growth out of yeast
You provide the bread some heat
And beat it into shape
And wait for it to sleep
Nuzzle shape into a sheet
A fallen colosseum
Marked ruins we create
Knife wounds return to dust
And soon dissipate
But when the trees return to earth
On th...
What is love
If its one sided
Is it physically or mentally divided
Cause my heart talks to you
When yours doesn’t have anything to say
Am I getting boring
Or do you still like me
Is this conversation too much?
I’m not a pick me girl,
But I’d pick you in a room full of boys
Who think they know what they want
When its in front of them
Yet all I want is you
Do you feel it too?
This pushing, pullin...
Harpoons hit our hearts hard
Each one leaving
A wound so great many won’t
Recognize what has happened
To the one organ of empathy
Of course we
Find wounds always turn to scars
So many of us feel as if
Certain parts may never heal
Absencent parts that you feel will never return
Really we don’t realize that scars are just
Signs that we know what we are doing in life
The scars on our hear...
