I knew then I had met my match
when the pain in your eyes
mirrored mine
We were wickedly broken
and wanting of love,
We ran so fast
We forgot to see
the coming scars
Brandy Nicole May 2015
Now I'm sitting here
in that old chair
playing all those old tunes
(Remember?)
They reminded me of you
What are you thinking now?
(I'm thinking of you)
Imagine dancing through
the night with you in my arms
just like you promised,
If you were only here
What are you doing now?
I'm spending my time
relaxing to that playlist of us
So join me when you're ready
(To make a new song)
Because I could listen to us all night long
Water trickles over a dried up brook
Into a stream of boiling water down into the deep
Where this goes we may never know
It’s the road we call “less traveled”
But what about those souls that have to burn their feet?
What about the children who can’t keep up to the beat?
Not only do lost souls find themselves falling further into the deep
The light on the other end is getting harder to see
And, at one point they had a chance to turn back
But chose the path “less traveled” to see what was in the black
Soon they become weary and try to rest
But, the boiling water will not let them stop
They must keep moving to the sounds of the drums
Some fall off into the water, boiling away into nothing
And, some, some make it to the end of the brook
To meet the man to take them across the River Styx
This is where the journey ends for those souls who refused redemption
Confined in a box
Waiting for someone to poke some holes
I can’t breathe
There is nothing in here
Not even a place for me to call my own
Four walls, not all even but make a square
I’m suffocating
Waiting for someone to poke some holes
I wish I knew what was beyond
I wish I had the strength
I am so dizzy
Waiting for someone to poke some holes
In a corner, small and tight
The air seems warmer here
There something on this box trying to get in
My heart is pounding
Waiting for someone to poke holes
A little shake, lock and key
Confided in my box I no longer shall be
The waiting is over

Born
Am worried
am afraid
if i close my eyes i might not wake up
we,strangers with so many burdens

am here,in bruises
am here,torn asunder
in pieces
covered in stitches


its dawn
the stories of darkness
invisible to many
have been washed away


Pound for pounds
I've been pounded
more than you can remember
puffy face
for a glorious pound
