Et tu, Brute?
Ruby Patrick Sep 2019
Et tu, Brute?
Why did you betray me
Brothers we were
Till that all befell me

They say time heals all wounds
But this wound just got deeper
Every time I think of you I get sad
You keep wanting me to be mad so you don't feel bad

All I wanted was my brother
In return you left me when I needed you most
Every time you call I answered
Every time I call you refused

You can't look me in the eye and admit you lied
You admit you replaced me
Excuses you try and find but I am not blind
Yet I'm the one who holds the supposed grudge

All I wanted was a friend
Now I'm all alone
With no one to turn to
With a knife in my back
I'm here left saying
Even you, Brutus?

I Hate You
Ruby Patrick Oct 2018
I hate you with all my soul
I hate you like burning coal
You ruin everything
I thought I was passed you
I can't cast you away
Everything you touch turns to rot
Is this the price that I have bought?
I stare into your eyes and I get mad
You look back and I get sad

I hate you, cause you are me
I'm sick of what fate has brought
I won't drown in pity
I will be witty
I will be strong
I will prove them wrong
I will stare into your eyes and find joy
You are my mind

I won't hate you for any longer
Cause I will make myself stronger
If I hate you for any longer
Then I will get weak
I will reach my peak
Your greatest enemy is yourself

My Best Friend
Ruby Patrick Oct 2018
My best friend is just like me
We're both dead and cold as the sea
We both don't have a key to happiness
But that doesn't matter when it's him and me
Thanks, Kevon

Bliss
Ruby Patrick Oct 2018
When I kissed you all I felt was bliss
When I was with you all I felt was bliss
You said you missed my kiss
Now I miss that bliss
I thought you listened to my heart
But then you threw a dart
Did you even feel that bliss?
Miss

0: Z.E.R.O
Ruby Patrick Oct 2018
You made me better
You made me feel like your hero
Someone who wanted nothing but the best for you
Someone who wanted to see you smile
You told me I helped you with your trauma
You told me you missed me
When you kissed me
you said that was the only kiss that meant something

You said you weren't ready to be tied down
You said you didn't want a label

Now I feel like a zero
Walking endless miles
I ask myself is this some kind of trial?
The hole in my heart hurts more than a gunshot
I can't even run the miles like I do every day
I try to stroll to walk off the pain
But I'm to maimed and lamed to walk off the pain

I can't frame you as the bad guy
I can't even be mad
All I am is sad
You said you were lonely before me
But did I mean anything?
All I am is a Zero
I am nobody's Hero
Nobody's Hero

The Last Word
Ruby Patrick Oct 2018
the first word I said to you was ****
the last word you said to me was you
I remember the red hue of your room when I first held you
I remember the blue hue of my room where you held me
Now I can't rest in my bed without you
You were the reason I got out of bed to make that bread
The feeling of your head on my chest was the best
I can't even be mad at you even though I'm so sad
I felt happy for the first time in years
Now all I have is fears and tears
All I want for you is the best
All I want to do is rest
the first word I said to you was ****
the last word you said to me was you
now I wish the word I said was love
To want love and all of its burdens

— The End —
