Faint memories of you from years ago Not the best, full of anger and hate Two people who were supposed to love each other Unconditionally, always and forever At each other’s necks, murderous. He wouldn’t fall for it, her controlling nature. Three children together, part of a broken home Never knew the love of a real family Stuck with the bitterness of a lonely mother Without the presence of a father figure She lost hope, dated only men she could control Lied to the children, told them their father left That he no longer cared for them, Didn’t want to be in their life any more. But he told them things would get better That he’d try to be there Making money was hard Paying a greedy person ever harder. But it’s I who sees the family falling apart Mother is getting married to a man she can control Letting him control and taunt us Denying us what we need, greedy, spoiling herself Home is where the heart is but her heart isn’t here

Father Said
The way it felt to kiss you as you said goodbye, Warmth upon my lips, passionate, loving. Your arms around me, protecting me from the world. Hours spent talking to each other constantly. Now it's gone, and it's all my fault. Now I can't talk to you, or hope to feel your warmth I never meant for it to go this far, To end so quickly, just one blink and it's gone. I'm just a monster hidden behind makeup. A selfish soul in fake skin. Pain has never felt more deserved.

I can't forget.
I know I'll live with this mistake this time, Can't blame you for hating me now. Blame me for it all, You were perfect for me, For me you did everything, This is less than deserved I'm not going to ask you back, Sorry that you ever chose me.

Sorry...
I don't want these thoughts, But somehow they've crept upon me As I lay sleeping in my bed. These thoughts of me and you, The pain that always comes with it I feel drained of happiness, The happiness I had with you. I can't help but think that Absence makes the heart grow fonder But I can't think it true. Without you here with me, I know I'll always be in agony can't help but still think it true

As I try to forget, Simple words, simple phrases I learn your lies, Those things you call the truth When I'm near tears, And you're completely oblivious. I can't stand to look, To gaze upon your clueless eyes. Are you willing? To understand the mistakes. The ones you made. Are you ready to Earn my forgiveness? I don't think you'll understand. For you're just being Who you were born to be. There is no right or wrong for you

Redemption
As I ponder my regrets You make the top of them I wish I could take back Every thing I ever said. All the wrong, all the lies I should have spoke the truth When I could, When you would've believed me I could have apologized, I could have made amends But I ignored that I did wrong I was always right, No matter what I did. Oh, but how I was wrong, Wrong wrong wrong....

regret after regret
I'm tired of the lies, The feelings you tend to hide. The day to day stress You always put me under. I'm tired of the lies, That empty look on your face. That smile that you Never show. The guilt I hide, Only meant to please. Do you know how much Damage you've inflicted? The people who hate me Seem to be the only ones Able to see through this mask. When you're upset, Everyone tends to know. You make no secret of it. But when I am The ones I hold close Don't notice the difference They believe my own lies.

Lies
I know that I'm awake But I'm dreaming all the same. My mind twisted in thoughts It's one thing to say that "Everything will be okay" and sometimes those words Just aren't enough to say. Things can get so rough, I know. I just need to be strong To find something to hold onto As hours slip away. For me to regain happiness Would take years to accomplish. I struggle to describe in sentences, Of how you make this easier for me But I'm at a lost for words ...

Time to wait
Excitement - you just can't hide it, Just one night, just one time. It's all in the fun of the thrill. And we just want to get off No commitment - it's just one night, No further contact, no relationship. Both strangers, no name basis. I want to get off, take it all off. To live in the thrill - without consequence, You don't have to disagree, I wont push. We don't have to go all the way, I just want a ****** I don't steal - but I'm greedy, I'll take until nothing is left.

Prom Dress
I saw you from across the room, Hips swaying, pumping to the beat. I watched from afar, as you bite your lip Cause you know everyone is watching                            -captivating... I stare because I can't touch, As your clothes drop to the lit floor. You're exposing yourself, Willingly, you have no shame.                            -shameless... This is what you're paid for, A masters degree gone to waste, As you become the candy Of every man's eye.                           -wasteful...
