Every morning I wake up and make sure it's true Stuck in a nightmare where I replay the same day, but instead, it's just a feeling I can't shake off It starts with the pain I feel knowing he could hurt me again Followed by the circles in my stomach as I think of her making him satisfied and whole again Then come the tears as I realize I'm not what he ever wanted I wasn't ever made for him the way he was made for me In my eyes, he was never perfect But perfect isn't what I was searching for I was on a hunt for love like no other One that would erase all the pain from before A love I could use as a trophy after survival But I placed too much trust in him In the ability for another human to devote time and care for me Someone with little value and absolutely no self-love Nobody loves a tortured girl, not even the ones who enjoy causing the pain

This little dream of mine
The many ways I've told myself I am not worthy of love All the words I left as a reminder of the pain You'd find me under all the "I'm sorry" responses they left Never really understanding the extent of the pain I'd be lost under the rubble of the self-pity and disdain Could I have been better at dodging the hurt? To what extent did the wounds have to go?

If words could drown
Your words spilled as I was gutted Her silhouette became the blueprint of everything I wasn't My body lay disintegrating into the thread count Where we once laid and blended limbs until we felt whole Placing bones, one on top of the other Like a maze for anyone who tried to unravel Now I lay with just one body and no heart Heaving for air as I recall the times you whispered promises Validating a love I had not predicted would build resilience How should I beg when you leave? What pattern of words would make the love run deeper than regret?

He did it again.
She’d be profound if she shared wiser words The kind to evoke relativity Yet, she shares simple pleasures only Heart and mind dabble within her Sharing pieces would feel enough But every urge encourages a deeper focus Learning from behavior would be wise She could share pieces if it meant holding on to whats hidden The darkest bits of misfortune It’ll all entail a journey through understanding An aspect of humanity not generously shared Divided among willingness and doubt She could walk the line But with every ache there’s a story Heavy words to carry The kind to not roll off her back Like pebbles wrestling through a river Soundly words sing lyrics of torture through her mind Echos of memories and flashes of disdain She is encompassed by all that was As she remains

Who am I when I’m not here?
This is it. The end of us. I lay my pain to rest, but if I could take another bullet I would It was always worth it as long as I was rapped in your arms by the end of the day If at night you held me close, id try to forget how you held her When the lies filled up and drowned us, I enjoyed running away with you It was always easier when I hid your torture from the world As long as I was smiling, they wouldn't know you were trying to **** me I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the pummeling of my heart ever so often I became drums to a musical show that I paid to enjoy I'd feel the beatings to my heart just to hear your voice Yet, when the world felt like it was eating me whole Your embrace made it all feel like home So i'll miss you I'll think of us Of you And every attempt to end me

Darling I've Died
i am so sad. id usually come up with a more elegant ensemble of words to tell you this but today im too sad too upset obviously missing most of my sense i cant even think of words that go together to show you how ugly i am inside mirrors would shatter at the sight of the dread going on within me but im breathing thats all that really matters right as long as im standing here like an open wound for all to open up like a stick and poke id like to see myself as the messenger for my inner works but all i can hear are cries and screams for help so help. help me forget the hurt allow me to see some of the good because at this moment in time, im facing the most visible memories of pain but i must keep breathing right because as long as im standing here for everyone to see they can all think of new ways to pull me apart until the thin string of sanity has completely disappeared

im sad
i knew i would be alone from the moment i began to isolate myself not because i felt neglected but because loneliness was when my mind felt the safest where i could wander within myself no additional voices to cater to i swam in my own emotions enough to fill a sea so when i end up alone again dont pity me ill be dancing by the sea singing along with the voices in my head basking in my own glory

lone
i remember loving you knowing how comfortably my heart fell into your palms trusting every word your soul spoke even thinking about our future as one the children we would have had what color eyes do you think they would of had? hopefully a color that wont pierce aggressively like your lies the ones you spit at me like darts aimed straight at my heart the one that wont trust a word you say anymore would I even believe you if you said your name? lets speak louder now ive gotten used to yelling over the lies hoping the volume will cancel out the past but I still see you laying on top of her whispering how happy she makes you lets speak quietly now eventually our hearts will give up too catch up to our minds invest in our futures instead of this ailing relationship

speak the truth
I've become the best director implanted countless scenes into my brain you always get the lead role the guy and whatever girl he can get the one who hurt him in the past or the girl that gives it away so easily my brain begins to malfunction from all the processing who knows what ill make up next but the thing is, its not all imagination see you've set the play for me you found the characters and it was you who gave me the story it was your actions that created the nightmare in my brain all I can do now is try to decipher the reality how long did you hold her? how happy did you make her? what did you tell her as you laid over her? did I ever cross your mind as you touched her? but most importantly when will I forget? I don't think theres enough time in the world for it I fear that I'll grow old and carry this pain with me I'm afraid my bones are too weak now

memories of you
skin to skin lips to lips he laid with her unraveled in fantasies a world where i didn't exist a place where i had no importance she was all he thought of his thoughts were consumed by every curve in her body and every inch of her skin i laid in the darkest place my mind could find all while he became a nest of comfort for her she got the comfort of his skin I got to lay in an empty room with a mind filled with destruction trying to forget is like running from the truth he was there and i was barely breathing she got him and i got the truth the reality that love isn't real nobody cares and nobody will
