Checked,

Check,

Mate.

I’d been played,

The one who caved,

In on your unpaid plans,

Still yet to be made.

To think you could be saved,

By the split personalities

You’ve so carefully made.

My womb wasn’t enough

For the babies I bore—

You didn’t change,

Though I tried to restore,

Only to find myself drained.

Checked,

Check,

Mate.

Barren behind the eyes,

Typed in curved,

Shouti...

But wait-

Why do I blame you?

Why not blame him?

He who took me for granted and threw me away?

Blame the girl always, and the man gets off

You fell for his charm, you wanted to be loved

I don’t blame you anymore

I was you, growing up

This is how I turned the words

How I couldn’t grow my hair

In the towns where I was born

In the friends I turned away.

This is how I leave the years.

We waited, we waited

For you but you just left us

We needed you, I needed you

But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills

Becky told me she love me, I'm thinking this isn't real

I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah

Welcome to the bottom of hell

They say pain is a pris...

Staring into the truth

It’s staring back at me, staring with so much silence and couth.

What can I do? What can I say?

For me and my bleeding heart have chosen to stay.

Trapped, forever trapped.

In your mind twisted in a thread I am trapped.

In a last effort to regain my shaky balance I snapped.

Scared and afraid, I brush off my fear and sorrow.

They can never know.

They don’t need to know.

Why sh...

A sense of fleeting meaning,

Rocks thrown for no reason,

Shoes with no laces to tie,

Tears but nothing to cry.

Pages torn and turned,

Days passed and waved,

An unfortunate lonely day,

Someone asks to be saved.

I won’t speak of death,

I won’t deny it’s truth,

This man, what’s his name,

He’s guiding these troubled youth.

So, one must imagine hope,

One must imagine a way ahead,

His words, they sha...
