How selfish is it, to take everything
And give nothing in return
Trust, loyalty, companionship, confidence
Taken with greed and poured into a glass that was never quite full
Even when my own was empty,
I still found ways to give and pour far beyond my limits
My sweat, my blood, my tears
Each drop collected with precision to ensure you never went without.
Then gone without a trace, without a thank you or goodbye
No evidence that we ever even shared an existence, much less a deep love
I gave you all of my secrets, but it turns out I was yours
I gave you all of my secrets, and you couldn’t even give me your name

Blowing in the autumn breeze
Knocked free from the safety of my branch
Crunched beneath careless feet
Swept away and forgotten
We all fall down

Hearts beat out of time
Frozen fingers intertwined
Foggy breath, rosy cheeks
Russet eyes play hide and seek
Quivering lips then collide
Everything else now subsides
Fit together, like lock and key
No other place I’d rather be

Drawn upwards
Like Cupid's bow
Purer than the driven snow
Hidden away
Behind rosy pink lips
When I see it, my heart skips
Warm and inviting
And better every time
Waiting for the day
that your smile meets mine

Doorbells chime
Coffee pots brew
He glances at me as if on cue
Footsteps shuffle
Thunder rumbles
In a raspy voice I hear him mumble
Dark roast
Light eyes
His smile is known to mesmerize
Rain outside
Brings crowds in
And suddenly I'm next to him
Hands meet
And then do eyes
I've met my angel in disguise

We are not well
So we destroy ourselves
Falling off
We vanish and are forgotten

Morning breath
Puppy dog kisses
Are things I would ask for
if I had three wishes
Raspy voice
Cerulean blue eyes
Open when our lips
Meet in surprise
Legs tangled
Arms around waist
Along my hips
Your fingertips trace
Head tilts upwards
Sunlight pours in
Can't tell where one ends
And the other begins
Intertwined and entangled
In the midst of the morning
Bliss

Black heart, white skin
Faded red scars that she's covered in
Deep purple bruises, tired blue eyes
Long sleeve blouses and makeup are her disguise
Golden blonde hair, rosy pink lips
Dark brown liquor from the bottle she sips
Murky green water, orange sunset skies
She's finished living in this world of lies

The relentless sky releases its downpour
Droplets pounding against the glass
I do not even bat an eye
As I hear the lighting clash
I listen to the thunder boom
Like the mighty lion's roar
Inside my head with my unappeasable demons
I am persistently at war
The battle is unfolding
The storm still raging on
I wonder when both will cease
I wonder if I'll live til dawn
The only thing I wish for is from my shackles to be free
I have to ask, which is worse
The storm outside or the one brewing inside of me?

Boiling blood, pounding heart
I knew someday we'd be torn apart
Body to body, skin to skin
Where does our story even begin?
I was naive, experience I lacked
Little did I know your intentions were cracked
Thought it was love, but it was really just ***
Oh how I pity the poor girl who's next
