why. those three letters come to mind, every time. why? the question I seem to ask too much. although, other questions are valid too. is there really a divine reason? when will I ever know? can't they see? don't they feel what I feel? til death do us part, but what kind of death? death of the spirit, the heart, trust...? does departing with my body grant that the pain is all gone? why?

why?
Familiar feeling. Once so keen. Lost it over time. Rebuilt myself. Allowed you in. 5 years passed and I could be me. 3 years passed with you.I was me. Promises of not repeating orbiting me to the familiar feeling. Built that trust so far, only to be shattered. A ring and a baby change this circumstance. Not what it was before. This time I have to be strong. For me. My body. My baby. I still love you. But why would you do this? Me, it's me. You, it's you. Why? Total of 9 years now, with this familiar feeling. Will I ever say goodbye?

Backup
Lately, I can’t seem to get you off my mind My vivid dreams wake me up in a sweat My day dreams flash my un-lived life I’m making up scenarios that further my debt I just need to sleep it off, sleep it off Tomorrow is a better day The sun will rise once I sleep it off

Sleep it off, lately
Depression is saying “tomorrow I’ll do that” every tomorrow Depression is laying in bed starving but not caring enough to get up Depression is pushing away the people who are trying to show their love Depression is your room looking like a tornado went through it Depression is

red flags dancing in the storm you caused mentioning high tide or danger "take cover, find safety" is what they were screaming I decided to stick around to fight off Mother Nature but there's no fighting Mother Nature your idea was made up lies already formed behind the curtains of your shower when I was dreaming of better things

An “accidental” download accompanied with fast words and pictures Frantic, but for what? The truth or a black lie? It is no business of mine what you do in your spare time It’s only the whole family you will break My father will slip away Family events will decay Along with the love that we all once adored. Oh mother dear, Why is it that what you fear Is what you befriend to escape what is non existent Now this secret I must keep That will stew inside me deep Not willing to ruin everyone else’s day

An ode to true love
One bottle of wine all to myself Didnt even need a glass Just drank straight out of the bottle Not one person aware Just as I prefer it Im sure it will come to a head As soon as my tongue touches that one drop that will push my limit Everyone will hear it time and time again Cant keep it bottled up But for now, I'll keep the bottle up

sob story
Saying hello with a bright smile and welcoming eyes How did I get so good at pretending My insides are on fire I could burn this whole place down For the sake of everyone on their highs, I won't put holes in these walls with my angry fists yell at the undeserving I will keep pretending until it becomes my reality

pretending
A green aura of envy Apparent yet hidden simultaneously Melodies flow and the music plays a delightful tune Every stitch sewn by her maker was made with better wool than mine Beyond the desired looks, their love is secure Just one more thing to add to the list In my arsenal you ask? Broken poetry and unused words Majority says nay Minority says yay Love around here has been suffocated Plenty to share, none to myself Loves taken a hiatus status I’ve folded my hand. Consistently dealt a 7/2 My cue to return to real life Is when the water turns cold
