He was like coffee
smelled good                    
but burned my mouth
He loves to keep me awake at night
talking about nonsense like love
and self love
but it doesn't matter
because I can't sleep anyway
I wonder if he loves himself
laying there in bed alone
probably playing with his phone
waiting for someone to love him
Sorry I've been rusty lately

Drank to take the pain away
but instead I lost myself
Between fake friends
and cigarettes
all I do is laugh

all this air around me
and I still can't breathe
these people are suffocating me
don't make eye contact
look at the floor
if I don't stare
maybe it won't hurt anymore
but I still feel my heart beating faster and faster
the sweat on my hands
and my stomach dropping to the floor
I just want to leave
and not make a scene
what if I do something humiliating

What's the point of having a mind
if I don't use it
All of this time
I've been ******* losing it
I'm not sane
Nothing's been the same
I'm tired of this town
and every street I walk on
is like walking down memory lane

**I'm in need of change...

I hold on to the past
because it's all I got
old memories in my head
I can't make them stop
we were all friends
we all got along
now no one talks to each other
and we're all falling apart
I miss a few people
and how things used to be
if I could I would
relive those moments for eternity
I hold on to the past
because they forget
The friendships we had
and the heart to hearts
Brenda Cabral Sep 2013
You know you're unwanted
when you walk into a room
and you see it on the persons face
they think your a disgrace
but what they don't know is
those are mistakes
you can't erase
they follow you everyday
like a dark cloud over your head
that won't go away
and it digs into your soul
it feels like the pain
is here to stay
that's how you feel on the inside
then people look at your face
they see a fake smile
taking the pains place

I cry
you don't know how hard
I try
but all you do to me
is lie
and when I ask all you do
is deny
I try to get close but you
push me aside
all I want to do is go off
and get high
drink a few beers
maybe some lines
by the end of the night
I'll be able to fly
but what goes up
must come down
I die
and you ask why?
because you walked
and ruined my life
