44/F/Washington I'm a new fool at an old game. Broken, scarred, healing.
I thought we were meant to be You said all the right things to me I played the fool once again Now my heart will never again unchain Do not put all your eggs in one basket Otherwise you build your heart a casket A dark place to hide away from the hurt A place to never again reemerge

More wasted time
I know it will be so easy For you to just walk away I know it will be so easy For me to lie and to stay away You will go on with your life And I will tell you I will go on with mine I know it will be so easy For me to also give up on me Someone else will catch your eye You will never even glance into the rear-view mirror I will not be the one to say goodbye The glimmer of hope is not becoming clearer Don't leave me now I may not be perfect I don't know how To go on living without

I know it will be easy
I sit here alone upon my solitary throne All doors and this heart under lock and key Thoughts keep swirling in my mind One in particular still haunts me Nobody will see what hides inside I keep it all hidden under lock and key Had a lot of practice with my poker face Locked in a closet with a skeleton key You'll never know what gets to me You never cared anyhow, not really I've tried to let go of it all But I will carry it all until eternity The only way I could keep from return Was to deal the final blow, you see I could not return to the deception So I did what I did for me

It was me....
Just a short though I thought I'd quickly jot To truly appreciate loyalty One must first experience disloyalty Even to be able to recognize what it is One must go through the agony of what it is not.

Loyalty

Findings this week
I walk alone Your words and songs still haunt me I walk alone Your memory holds me until someday I am free You walk alone I do not know what words and songs you will remember You walk alone For that is the road you have chosen for yourself, to not be free I am tired of walking alone Yet it is the only way I know how to go on these days Walking alone.....one set of footprints only For this way there is nothing holding me back and I will someday be free

Walking alone
How do I continue on when scars have not yet begun to form over open wounds Wounds so deep that the river seems to flow and carry me on on endlessly never to find the sea I have had hopes and dreams before, yet now I find myself unable to trust in hope once more So many times I have been let down and have gotten lost on a stream that leads nowhere Waiting for somebody to help me pick up the pieces, somebody please help me pick up the pieces Knowing that I am the only one that can pick up the broken pieces and put the puzzle back together Though some of the pieces are now missing, what will the final picture visualize I have hoped for a long time that there will be other pieces to be found to finally find some peace

Puzzling
I almost followed you to the end of earth Loving you was like being in love with an enemy I endured the fire and ice from your hearth Diagnosis: internally charred and frozen from your remedy And now I'm left with the weight of the world That you laid upon my broken and worn wings August was my last flight as our lives unfurled Seemingly left adrift on treacherous raging seas

Flightless
What a day today turned out to be The near future I wish I could see I feel so lost, so alone and betrayed In your presence today I felt afraid All your truths turned out to be lies You did all the things that lovers despise Was there ever a time, I plea When you really truly loved me

Like the waves crashing upon the shore Your betrayal has taken me to the floor For years I had somehow buried all of your lies Pretending made it easier than a surprise Lies that washed up after you were gone I find there are more and more with each dawn The truth which hurts so deep But to you I shall not utter a peep The wind blows straight through me Like a swirling whispery plea Begging for more time, yet begging to move on Realizing your love was false and gone The kids are trying to be strong To keep on striving since you're just so wrong You'll never know how hard it was to walk out that door You'll never know that your betrayal has taken me to the floor
