Don't give me that look

Especially when you're in the wrong

Always knocking me down to build yourself up

Let me be me

Branded me with your insecurities

Ripped me of my dignity

Extend your hand out for once

Alienated from the one I should confide in

Kisses stay devoid

Empty of any emotion that isn't lust

Repulsed by meaningful affection

Shoot me down again, I dare you...

We all do it

We all go through life,

Not really thinking of what’s not okay for us

We always think about what we want

What we need

What we desire

But we never truly think into

The things that we truly don’t want

The deal breakers of our lives.

Like, have you ever thought

What are my deal breakers?

What am I not okay with?...

Break through the heavens,

like tears break silence.

reason sealing sense,

bracing for all the sevens.

Tear down the walls,

with bloodied hands.

Ache and demands,

stifling your calls.

Free the calling,

with open lungs.

stop the stalling,

rip the rungs.

Lose your voice,

with passion.

Always a choice,

never a reason.

Seal the pain,

in your heart.

Keep you sane,

from falling apart.

Let it free,...

I can’t keep doing this

I am breaking this off

Its a deal breaker

You and I

we can never happen

You never listen

You broke my heart

Its over...

Red threads of fate

Threads unspooled from flags

Flown high above the mark.

But watch her, hear her

Spitting molten iron.

I'll leave the red threads to the fools,

The banners for their noxious bearers.

Let others be entrapped by vain promises

Of love and tenderness;

Fools errands for the timid and faint of heart.

Nothing is sacred.

Nothing is pure.

All is dross....

Walking down aisle four

Disturbing passers by with my

Intensely growling thunder-like,

Three-days-I-haven’t-eaten, and

Angry-as-a-beaten-beast demeanor.

Not knowing what I’m searching for.

The food looks lovely. Take your pick.

The shelves are full. I guess it’s good.

But empty pockets tickle me these days.

Which I don’t fancy, if I’m being honest.

I’d give a crap and take a crab

If I came down ...

There are things that you can’t get past

Things that you can’t unclasp

Things that hold you back from moving on

And keep you from the finish line

/

You all have them in your mind

A deal

A break

Something that seems to make a bind

/

A deal breaker

A bone of contention

The elephant in the room

The ultimate sticking point...

Looking into his eyes

We shake hands.

A promise so delicate

It's my heart he demands.

He was quite the taker.

Months pass, time flies

I walk in, her body under his commands

My heart has been suffocate

He shot to kill, and it lands

He was quite the deal breaker.

Yet I stay through all the lies

The love we built somehow stands

One night he does something I could not replicate

He saw a bug and hid ...

I am the kind of person who

Makes judgements about everything I see others do

I'm sorry, I swear it's not my intention

To subject your every move to my dissection

There are just certain things in this world that give me the ick

And when I notice I can't help but want to get out quick

Things like lying and cheating and also Dallas Cowboys fans

Or people who can't communicate and never wash their...

In love, in life, the lines are drawn,

The quiet hills we’ll never dawn.

A whispered no, a firm refrain,

The rules we keep to shield from pain.

No trust, no care, no honest light,

The shadowed truths that steal the night.

Disrespect that cuts too deep,

Promises made, yet none to keep.

Cruelty cloaked in clever guise,

A lack of heart behind kind eyes.

When passion’s flame turns cold and weak,

And...
