A hollow soul floats within my chest
A feeling of emptiness transpires around me
Looking into your amber eyes brings me to tears
A ringing sound fills my ears as the world begins to spin
They say follow your heart
They say follow your head
But nobody tells you what to do when both are at their wits end
Deception
Betrayal
Heartache
Takes over my body like a rush of a wave
But now...
How is my only question, how? I mean you can't just say things and then do something differently how can you say you love her when I have been right here, I've always been right here, I was here when you got in trouble, I was here when you and your mom had fights when no one believed you I believed you, when you were at your worst I was there when you got into unhealthy habits I was the one who pu...
(This is a song, without a beat.)
We were having such a ball,
Why did you make me feel so small?
You made my heart chime,
Next thing I know it’s something I must sign.
Why? Is all I ask.
Why?
Do you have to make me feel like I wanna cry?
All I ask is a good friend.
I hope it all works out in the end.
We were besties, but you sided with them,
Still thinkin’ we’re besties, but you only sided w...
You know it
I hate that
You know how to wield
MY emotions
You know how I tick
that one right word
You get your way
You’ve already guilted me
It’s affecting my life
Yet you are the only one trying
Right?
You’ve already pushed it back
Given me false promises
But you weren’t expecting me
to stand my ground
Say ‘no’ to you
But I did
Took you aback, didn’t it?
How does it feel?
To feel blindsided?
No...
My stomache dropped like an anchor into the sea, except you were land where I could not reach.
I tried to shift my sails toward your direction, but you only left me seasick with no medicine.
You handed me stale bread and salty water, hoping it would satiate my hunger and quench my thirst.
Still no goodbyes or see you laters. Unfortunate, to be sure.
It's better you left without saying a word...
I the wanderer,
You the thief
Stole my joy, my
Soul, my sleep.
Rest to the weary?
For me there's none.
I see it clearly,
The ill you've done.
I was once laden
With friends so true,
But now they've faded
All after you.
Who shall I turn to?
What shall I gain?
Shall this dark sorrow
Be all in vain?
We once were brothers,
Would we never end.
No longer I long for
You, twisted friend....
The night casts a glow on his sparkling throne,
For you were his dog, and he had the bone.
He said you were crazy, that you must have known,
Now he wastes away the nights, desperate and alone.
You wished you could hate him for all he had done,
But you made your excuse, though there were none.
He earned your trust and then it begun
The promise and lies he slowly spun
But when distance grew wide...
The love we shared, a beautiful design,
Now lies in tatters where the cold winds blow,
A cruel betrayal, sharp as winter's snow,
Has chilled my heart, and poisoned what was thine.
Your sweet nothings,just like a serpent's coil,
Strangled the blooms of love that we had sown.
Deception's weeds have choked the seeds we'd known,
Leaving behind a barren, sterile soil.
The wounds you carved will thr...
My eyes betray,
Though I don’t understand why.
The reflection in the mirror shows
A version of me I loathe.
Is my waist really that wide?
My face, is it really that mundane?
Nose, are you really that large?
Scars on my skin, are they truly there?
Is this really me?
Am I really this vile-looking?
Why is it that I look different
Each day?
Last week I looked better—
Maybe it was because ...
