English "In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Do I startle you? I can engulf you, I can make your tongue swell, Swivel dance do twists unthinkable slither upside down, Into the grooves at the roof of your mouth, You’ll take me to your grave, Til Death do us part, my sweetheart, I will be etched into your cold slab of stone, Immortalised there, Forever

For the times we used to share Repressed now In my memories Echoing at me back and forth, all the time yet Never will I ever forget, Don't you dare turn your back on me Since you've changed it's not the same; it Hurts I know you have moved on but Physically, I'm still here

Acrostic Friendship
I am here and I am broken, My life a gift or given token, My mind is completely shattered, Nothing ever stays the same I'm the girl he singled out, I had to play his game He took my will and set it free, One love lost; not meant to be He was now my first mistake, He made me watch my friendships break, And now revealed all that's written: Love isn't real; love's forbidden

Walk in a field with me, Settle down with me, Make flowers with me, Make love with me. I’m struggling to find you, Lost in a swirling storm of memories, You used to be mine, surely Yet I’m struggling, indefinitely, to find you. You held my hands once, Whispered you’d love me ‘til time stopped, Where have you gone? We were like hearts encompassed in a world of ice. Crack me open and deliver my soul, Weld it onto your own and we will love, Imprint your lips onto mine, And we will love. I cannot find you.

& We will love
I was sat on the bathroom floor, the wet, hard floor, Trying to make myself sick I just wanted to feel better I thought that might be the answer She came in and she held my hand She dried my tears and told me what I had to do I told her she'd make a brilliant mum one day and we laughed A bond between us connected In those hours when we were sat on the floor My heart felt as though it were breaking And she was there. Right there He and I had never really talked much But in those four days that we had to share I felt our friendship grow and I was grateful That he was there to listen She and I never had much in common Apart from our insecurities we held in discussion on long walks home, Yet I felt she was the one closer to me, That she almost even understood I don't even know why I'm fretting It isn't as if they care for much longer If they want to say goodbye, then so be it But I'll be grateful for the times that I could really actually call them my friends instead of all this sad pretending We had fun

Let's Play Pretend
I'm sat here thinking, Thinking about love, The fragile, rippling tremors that are carried In a voice as the first person dares To say those three iconic words, Thick with the essence of love They know their life is about to change For either good or bad, They know their heart's going to get broke Yet they can't bear to run No. They've got to stay Stay up late, Playing hideaway beneath the covers Share kisses on the beach, Hold hands under the table like school children Because let's not forget, We were once Trade secrets at 5 minutes past midnight, Pillow fights, Make love, Make fun, Say those three words that changed everything, Over and over, and over and over It was two words that swayed me Into thinking that maybe this could be good, That maybe, dare I believe it, this could be something extraordinary And on the seventeenth day of the fourth month, Nothing and everything had truly changed If I am ever to get my heart broken one day Let me say, I'm glad that it will be by you

Shatter my heart,
I'm sat here thinking, Thinking about love, What it does, What breakable damage it can really do How couples argue, How they divorce, How they trample their anger out over each other, How they can drag each other recklessly through the mud One person says "love me", The other says they cannot A lonely stranger following their wanted one, Forever alone in the emptiness of a solitary heart When trust is broken, Dragged out and over, Through the jagged teeth of a relationship Which is forever doomed to fail Adultery is a sin, Where you hurt people And hurt people, A messy, ****** triangle of love Because love isn't silence, It can be emotional turmoil, Hurting and wanting and needing, And breaking

We are Breakable
i loved you, back then but now the love tastes bitter and scalded i still think of you, all the time of the days back when you were Mine because there was a time, when i used to run around Fearless, knowing what we had was a perfect little Love Story your Starlight shined to me and although i still remain Invisible to you i'll still forever adore you, although your State of Grace has now fallen i wanted you to stay forever sixteen, i wanted you to Never Grow Up i wanted you to Stay Stay, Stay The Way I Loved You was intense, and so, so easy; Untouchable, but jealousy has spiralled in and out, and out of my control you comforted a girl whose world had been shattered around her by divorce, depression and instability you allowed her to Breathe now i'm stuck, stuck on The Outside where it's bitter and cold Treacherous, even Everything Has Changed so Long Live those times I used to share with you because they're not my own anymore and they were truly The Best Day(s) And when I think Tim McGraw, yes of course I do think of you

This love was ours
Would you push another soul off a cliff, a rafter, a ship? - walk the plank aye, matey that is, if you knew nobody was watching if nobody was there, ever to know, would you do it? if there were nobody to squeal, to taddle, to break, engulf you in the scene of the crime just how high do our morals stand? We're going to breathe until the day we die just keep at it keep breathing, keep breathing Myself? I'm going to keep breathing until I stop 'til the very last breath in my body lets itself out and whispers "Stop."

Until the End
Go ahead. Shoot me right between the eyes. I dare you. A dead-hand shot. Just do it.
