I only ever wanted to be the better half of you Until I realized it was never my place to complete you

Everybody don't love you Majority don't even like you So stop mistaking him ******* you As a desire to wife you He jokes about you While you choke up on tears He only wants you to choke on one thing & it isn't the memories over these years Let it go flower child.. You picked your petals long ago The only thing left to be seen Is do dying flowers regrow?

Flower Child
There was nothing more permanent Than the sound of the door Closing behind him The day he walked out It wasn't even actual door That's how dramatic his exit was That's how devastating a loss it was I had to make a cartoon of it So as to not be heartbroken But the actual end Well that was kind of romantic Like something you catch on a Friday On a wide screen Rain & tears Questions ringing Like what am I suppose to do? I'm crying But my ****** composure is perfect I'm screaming But he's right in front me But I still doubt he's hearing me He can't face the disgrace Of his actions That he could leave something once so beautiful So broken So here comes that movie made exit.. Exhaustion Of fighting over the same things Of laughter met with anger The discommunication between us.. It was time that someone exited So he did.

Exit, No Entry
He kissed me & it was as if my heart quit Bc I knew then Life couldn't go on Without him

I haven't experienced true love, but I'm a fluent speaker of the tainted. The kind of love where no matter what they throw at you you're still there because you have no place else to be. The kind that my daddy taught me. That if you love a woman then you harm her and her children. See, I've never experienced true love, And because I was raised in a home without it, I'm at a loss of how to find it. I don't know how to go about finding the love I want: the kind of love where we can just talk about nothing for hours. But I certainly know how to attract the poisoned love that my father injected into my veins. I know how to find the abusers. The detached. The lonely. And no matter what I say I can't fix them. And I don't want to anymore Because I'm standing in my meadow waiting for a prince who probably won't come, Or rather, I'm waiting on the peasent to prove to me I don't need the knight or the prince at all Just that I need to drain the toxins from my mind and heart and find it in me to love the one who offers me nothing But yet brings me everything, In return for one thing: Me

True Love
I'm so busy settling That I missed the chance To explore This land I've been told of Something called freedom to love Everyone hopped on the boat Eager to make their way Away from settling ways I couldn't help but wonder why I was settling.. Breaking ground for a man Who wouldn't even plant the seed My body lay dormant As he proceeds To settle on top of mine I was settling again.. Why am I settling? I asked him if I could make way To extended parts of this ground I had broke, solely myself He said no Continue to work as you have been We're not finished But where was the he in we? It's all been me.. I settled again today The news of expectance has been given to me But not us He said it is neither the time nor the place Get rid of it I settled for his theory.. Maybe he was right So I settled to give up motherhood I settled today I was lain comfortably in this satin lined coffin I Settled comfortably in the ground I settled in this darkness Because even after life Death is matter of settling

Settling
I shiver Your touch no longer warms my soul It's more comparable to the winter of '14 When even looking out the windows Made you familiar with the ice outside I hate The fact I no longer feel safe I can't confide my secrets in you I can't even say I love you Because that gives you a power You'll most likely abuse I blame Your absent mother for your lack of love I came into your life And you expected me to save you But I couldn't even save myself.. I apologize That even though your to blame I was always too timid to stand Against your rigid ways So maybe it's my fault Maybe I just didn't love hard enough.
