*I can't be alone, So I'm cradled, I'm held, But my feet are just left Dangling. You're nothing to me, you're Nothing to me. You're nothing To me, you're necessary. I need you to be here, I need you to go. And I need to leave, and be On my own. But I don't know how! To do things my way, I don't know how To not depend. I'm clinging, I'm hanging, I'm Clutching at straws. I shake, pry open My own clamped jaws. And as I walk away again, So much of me dies. Forever the girl With the sad eyes.*

Sad Eyes
*Lost in a desert of rights and wrongs, With a list of pros and a list of cons. I can't quite tell my left from right, But I can't stand here figuring it out all night. I know what you need, and I know what you want, Yet you're stubbornly wearing these terms back-to-front. You confuse me, you use me, you tell me it's Love, But falling for your charms is something I could be above. So I'll make myself happy, in my own ****** way, Even though you won't support me, no matter what you say. Leave him alone, leave me alone, please just let us be, And you can do what you want, without a word from me. For the first time in forever, I can feel a sort of trust, But it isn't meant for you, and it's certainly not for "us." I want to cut you out of me, for more than just right now, And for the first time in forever, I'm starting to see how.*

Progression
*Broken and left, but left by force And now it's murky, I can't see the course. With you, without you, You think you know better But my feelings are contained, in an unwritten letter. The communication age, is too much for me to bear There's nothing I can do, Without a reminder of you there. In one way, in all ways, in any way you can You're sorry, you love me, I'm ruining our plan. I'm trying to keep sane, Trying to just stay alright But I feel like I'll surrender, to the weakest of your fights. I'm supposed to just go back to you, Cause you've got "so much left to give," "You can't just move on, and forget the life we planned to live." I haven't forgotten You've just turned it rotten*

Cheated
*You've left me without the capacity to care ***** my trust and left it just Lying there. Racking Ransacking Looking for a Reason. Any reason. You ****** me ****** me over ****** her, in your head. I'm fatigued, and I'm Jaded, and I'm Betrayed beyond repair And for all the king's horses... I thought you had changed.*

All The King's Horses
*It's almost two weeks, "It feels like two years!" It feels like two minutes. Maybe it's your ego Maybe it's my body Maybe we can forget it and just move on. "I can live without him, I don't NEED to be treated that way." But I want to wash your hair And that'd be less awkward if we were together. I want to make your feet better I want to make you feel better. I want to bake together, cookies and treats I want to bake together, in the foreign sun's heat. I want you to learn How to give me a massage Because I know that it'll make YOU feel good inside. **** it. God **** it. We're meant to be together.*

Coming Around
*Two years past, and one year since. But it's the latter we celebrate, the former is whispered. It was Confusion and Cruelty. It was apologies, and betrayal. We're safe, now. I'm safe, and I feel so. In your arms, out of your arms, but they're never far away. Tá domhan úrnua againn, and we won't mess it up. We don't fear the future. We recall without worry. Now is harder, but we're saving it for later. There's so much to do and so much to not, and we've intertwined individuality. I can't see the border, but I don't really try. We're safe now.*

One Tree
*Just the other morning I watched a blackbird. It flitted through the unexpected sunshine, Drawn, as they are, to the feeder in my garden. This one, though, overshot its path. It was flying so fast, It didn't see the glass. Death was instantaneous. This morning I saw death of another kind. Ethereal, yet just as unexpected. "Maybe I got complacent, maybe I didn't think." And the centre of my body is flickering. I didn't expect to find flaw, I couldn't have seen the fall. Death comes slowly and now it's down to you. *

The Blackbird
*The shower doors won't close properly, and neither will my eyes. The water's getting in The soap's getting in The fear's setting in. "He wanted her." Past tense, I tell myself, Let It Go. And I have to, cause the water's running cold. I'm grumpy, upset, annoyed at you, I'm in a bad mood again. Angry? No, not angry. Never quite angry. Never (quite.) He loves me, he keeps telling me. "He tells you all the time." I don't know why I Need this doubt. But it makes me need to Try.*

Grumping
*It's as soon as you leave, that The Worry sets in. It's never been there, it's always been there. Because I know just what You're capable of. I know too much, I don't know enough, but still More than I should. And as you lay there, sleeping, I know that this is how it's meant to be, it has to be, it Needs to be. It Needs to be.*

The Worry
*Sturdy, solid and utterly Unbreakable, it's meant to be Forever. It's going to be Forever. It's a fact, Or so we take it. Crystal clear, And yet strong as diamond. Time is not a problem. Time is not an Issue. Of which we have None.*
