It wasn’t yours to take,
but nevertheless
you ripped it from my grasp.
This is what you wanted right?
A swift kick in the ass?
You’re keeping my sanity
as a keepsake.
How cute.
Just know that my shame
went along with it too.
So, don’t be surprised
at what I choose to do…
SURPRISE MUTHAF***A
That’s right I see you :)
You thought you got away
but I’m in your rear view
running full speed ...
It wasn’t yours to take but nevertheless you ripped it from my grasp
I tried not to cry as it fell from my hands
‘You disgust me’
That was the final straw
I break down into fits of laughter and tears
_I_ disgust _YOU_

My words echo through the room
_I have tried SO hard to be perfect!!_
_And you still treat as if I am nothing!!!!_

I know I’m making memories,
But they flash bye so fast.
I can’t keep up with
This world anymore.
I’m falling down and being passed by,
everyone else speeding up.
Why can’t I just keep up.
I really can’t do anything
With the feeling of pain and suffering
in my mind and in my chest.
Almost everything I touch will be
ruined and turned into dust.
I’ll cry on the race track of my life
And sit on the pa...
It wasn’t yours to take,
But nevertheless,
You ripped it from my grasp.
It wasn’t your choice to make,
But like always,
I’ll have the last laugh.
I’m the little girl lost,
But I’ll pay the cost.
It’s not your battle to win or lose.
But you love trying,
Always prying,
Leave it up to me to choose.
I’ve wasted time,
Waiting in line,
But it’s all over now.
When it said and done,
I’ll be t...

I’m not sorry I met you.
I don’t regret being with you.
I’m not ashamed that I loved you.
Because I did.
Please don’t think otherwise.
I did love you,
It wasn’t fake.
You were my world,
My light,
My color.
You were everything to me,
And I’m not sorry.
Just as I’m not sorry I ended it.
We were failing,
We were breaking apart.
You were hurting,
I was hurting.
I was hurting you.
We...

from my grasp
i’m left alone
with never ending
never merciful
moral crises
i am so
so
lost.
you couldn’t reach me
physically
but my lord,
my personal hell,
did you squeeze
your way
into my pretty
little
brain.
so little.
you probably don’t
even
think about me.
i was probably just
a joke
in your young adult mind.
but i
i have not
forgot...
I hated this but I need it gone.
How someone I held dear to me ruined our relationship.
….
You held me up and put me on a pedestal,
Thinking this was love.
You thought me somehow celestial.
You put me above your needs,
Why the fuck would you call this love.
Whatever I did was on something you would feed.
You saw me fall,
you were responsible for this twist in the arrow.
I tried to be free bu...
