Striped
Today you said those words They cannot be unsaid Not in love, no way back The ties that bind us frayed So casually uttered A heart unduly split So many dreams to be rebuilt How long had this relationship been teetering on stilts? I envy your apathy Long for hostility, passion, reason Single sided loneliness A warped form of treason

Treason
You embrace me, vigorously You fill my heart so full, it could burst at the seams Thoughts of you consume my small moments Vines of you weaved around my veins I will never be free Worry.

Constriction
In a room i found you. A light in our grim surroundings. We fell fast, Odds stacked against us Oceans between us, still it lasts. In a room i met you I saw your smile from miles away and realised you were tiny. My heart jumped and so ensued a tentative yet longing-laced embrace.   In a room i loved you. Passionate and fierce, realising there was no way you could ever be replaced. In a room i left you, tears streaming down your face. Unable to make it better, we made our plan with haste. In a room i sit, thinking of your face. Soft brown eyes and beautiful smile, i feel your love surround me. The depth of love i feel for you still astounds me. Who could have guessed we would be here after meeting in that room.

Insomniac
You've taken root, your essence permeates my being. Your love consumes me, creates a frenzy in my heart. Should it really matter that you aren't what other people want for me?

Confliction
I know it doesn't seem it But it will be okay. Put one foot in front of the other, Take it day by day. I know you feel so heavy, Empty and forlorn Numb to almost everything Yet feeling each thorn. Fake the smile, do what you must. But most of all, never forget that all is not lost.

All is not lost
Emotions i have never felt An ache that winds so deep Tortured by the memories, even while i sleep The things i loved have lost their shine, Music hurts, my books lie. Happy endings don't exist. Self - help quotes everywhere. Momentarily happy, waves of navy blue Ebbing and crashing. Mind thrashing Constantly thinking of you.

Break Up
Silk cobwebs touch her skin Twigs breaking underfoot Each snap causing pause Penetrating the walls of night, with each tentative step Air thick with fear Darkness seeping into her pores Searching, groping the emptiness, frantic. Wind wild and wicked While i stand stock still, waiting for her.

Searching
When you hurt, i hurt too Though i never show it When you are down i feel blue too Though you'd never know it I cant cry in front of you It makes me seem so weak As a kid i donned the cape I was no longer meek You had so much to deal with then I pretended i was fine Never let a teardrop fall I never crossed that line When you were hurt Id pick you up and start the mediation Let's do this, let's do that We'll sort the situation This was never asked of me I took it on myself Now it seems in protecting you I've distanced myself I love you above all else I really hope you know Even though i find tough to show.

Mother
The walls are crumbling Great pillars demolished Once so strong now frail, unpolished Onlookers shaken Utterly agog An infant cries, wails in pain Frantically trying to rebuild his blocks Still it crumbles, bit by bit The dust burns his eyes Yet still he tries The infant stills amid the wreck Knowing nothing will bring it back The rocks are left, shards of pain Left with the knowledge, it was all in vain.

The Wreck
Unusually unusual Sullen yet perky A low radar passenger Chameleon Shrinking venus fly trap Samsonic strength Mild mental state Intelligent yet unsure Grey That's me.
