23/F We stopped looking for monsters under our bed when we realized they were living inside our head
I thought you'd always have my back "Till the end of time," we'd say I believed it until you proved me wrong that day How foolish of me... Your man tried to set me up with his friend I didn't want to, but I didn't want to be rude That was my downfall in the end. You left us alone, and he thought the fun had just begun I kept saying no but had nowhere to run We played this game of cat and mouse. All around the comfort of your house I couldn't escape; I kept saying no He would stop for a minute, then continue to go He kept touching me and violating my body and space When I told you, you said, "that can't be the case." At one point, you both said to him, "You're lucky it happened to her and not somebody else, cause she has people who can vouch for you. Otherwise you could have a charge put on you." That statement shattered an already broken soul. I don't feel lucky at all. I was never asked or given the option to press charges; the decision was made for me. They tried to say, "He's a good guy," and "I've known him for 15 years; he's not an animal." The experience I had with him is he assaulted me. He groped, touched and tried to force himself onto me. For hours after, I constantly said no. I can't just let that go. Just because he didn't **** me doesn't mean the trauma of the assault is lessened. It felt as if you were both protecting my assailant. More than you were protecting me. I didn't ask for this to happen I didn't deserve this. You both said you'd cut him off But you told him you'd only distance yourself for "a bit." That feels like you spit in my face You're still both friends on Facebook. I can't even stand to look. You said you'd have my back till the end of time. Turns out you meant Until your boyfriend's friend Assaulted me. – Protecting my Assailant // F.C.

Protecting my Assailant

I'm sorry I wasn't good enough. I'm sorry my mind isn't healthy I'm sorry I shut down and get quiet I'm sorry you've taken that personally I'm sorry I don't know how to say I need help... I'm sorry I've become another stress in your life I'm sorry I get moody and anxious I'm sorry I have depression I'm sorry my depression isn't being managed I'm sorry you think I'm ignoring you I'm sorry I'm on my phone a lot I'm sorry that scrolling on my phone comes across as rude, when really I just need to keep my hands busy. I'm sorry I can be very self conscious I'm sorry our "honeymoon" phase died down I'm sorry you think I only want *** from you I'm sorry we fight over stupid **** I'm sorry I can't seem to do anything right Most of all I'm sorry I'm hard to love... – I'm sorry... // F.C.

I'm sorry...
We had a connection Started off as friends. Turned into lovers But you were never mine. You said you weren't ready To be in another relationship So this was just for fun Nothing ever to come from it. But you treated me as more. More than just a **** We were drawn to each other And I think that scared you. You laid beside me naked Exposing your darkest thoughts And told me you were happy But clearly not happy enough. You kissed the top of my head Something only couples do. Not something you do, If I'm just a ***** call. There was a spark You felt it too Then you became distant And ran into the arms of another. Leaving me broken And alone Longing for you Wishing you chose me instead But I'll wear a smile And still be your friend Because that's the only way To keep you in my life. I wish I was good enough. I want our passion But I wasn't the one I'm not anybodys number 1 – It was Never me // F.C.

It was Never me
I put laid my cards on the table Told you how I felt about you Made a bet that you'd like me back But you said you don't play poker And you didn't feel the same way "I can't blame you for how you feel, but I don't feel the same way" Were your exact words Well **** I lost that bet. Thanks for being honest with me And truly I don't blame you, because if I were you I wouldn't like me either – Bets Don't Always Pay Off // F.C.

Bets Don't Always Pay Off
Why is it easier for us to accept someone's half assed "I'm fine"s rather than actually help and say "I know you aren't" It is easier to walk away when someone saying they're fine because we don't actually care when we ask someone if they are ok Which is why it scares us when people aren't "fine" because that isn't the status quo and god forbid if anyone in today's society isn't normal So we will continue to say we are fine with tears running down our cheeks and blood running from our wrists And we will continue to turn a blind eye when someone tells us "I'm fine" when they have a knife in hand Because it is culturally expected that we continue to be "fine" – I'm Fine // F.C.

I'm Fine
I feel like a black hole Lost in the void of reality Never to be seen or discovered Constantly trying to give my life meaning Only to disappear in the crowd I scream out for help for anyone to notice But I am invisible, you see right through me I'm an endless vacant waste of space I'm bleeding out my insecurities and fears But still nobody takes a second to see if I'm really here If I really was nonexistent would anybody really notice? Or would you continue to go about your day? The sun will rise and society will continue to act as if we aren't aware of the darkness and destruction within ourselves. – Blackholes // F.C.

Blackholes
I'm torn between two hearts Each offering something different Each pure and true. The first one I've had for a while He has childlike wonder But he is a loose canon And it is time to grow up The second is newer but just as special He is new and exciting But also secure and safe He is the more stable option. I'm in a position where I can have my cake And eat it too. But I am selfish and still want more. I want to know what the future holds Between myself and these two hearts. Each path a decent choice But vastly different Unpredictable and steady? Or new and secure? I wish I could combine both hearts And then I'd truly be happy But a decision needs to be made And it may ruin both hearts In the process – Two Hearts // F.C.

Two Hearts
I never really understood what it meant to be faded. But at this moment it's all become clear Drunk, High, and ***** Together, they make me fade in and out of clarity. I want to run to you. To feel your hands on my skin, Your body on mine, I want your sharp teeth biting my tender neck Letting our passionate heat flourish. I long for this. I try to run to you, But my legs will barely let me walk. I try pushing through it, but in a drunken fog, I can barely see. I'm stumbling, trying to find my way to you. But I'm faded, and I can't think straight. I'm Drunk, High, and ***** There's one thing that was always clear, though; You. – Faded // F.C.

You were no good for me Just as I wasn't for you Our toxicity dancing together Just for the sake of the routine I miss the plans I miss the dates I miss the adventures But I don't miss you I miss the idea of you The idea of being in a relationship. Spending time with Another person to call your own But I don't miss you I miss the closeness Of another human The touch of your hand On my skin But I don't miss you I miss the routine I was comfortable I was safe But I wasn't happy I miss the routine of you But I don't miss you – Routine // F.C.

The cancer almost took you from me but you fought and won! I'm so proud of you baby you have no idea But now we face another obstacle We can't be a normal couple, but then again we were never normal I don't even care that your lips are dangerous I'm willing to kiss you anyways You're like a drug to me and your poisonous lips are exactly the kind of high I'm looking for So baby come a little closer and let's tempt the devil together –Poisonous Lips // F.C.
