Of all the things I gave up
You hurt the most.
I needed you day by day
You were my walking cane
Helped me through each step.

But you threw it all away
Stopped caring for me.
For how was I to know
Your interest had waned?
You couldn't tell me to my face.

If you do love me
How is it that you hurt me
Time and time again?
It's like you don't care
About my needs and pain.

And so I set you free
You don't owe me anything
If you have somewhere to be,
Go.
Just stop breaking my heart
I deserve better.

Nothing lasts forever

Good things come to an end
Not to those who wait.
You can't freeze moments
However much you treasure them
The best you can do is savor
Everything while it lasts.
I had you and loved you
Did everything to make you smile
wasn't enough and you left
Grew weary of my company
I guess I was stupid
I expected forever from this.

Forgive yourself

We all make mistakes
Cause we aren't all knowing
Can't avoid the bumps
Of things foreseen.
It's not to end to lose control
Life can't fit in a box
That you tape and close.
There are ugly ghosts that escape
Like wisps of smoke
etch their way into reality
ruin your dreams and hopes
Tantalise you with whispers
Of what could be.
Allow yourself to live
Forgive yourself for trusting
And keep on loving
With all your heart.

Dreams will cushion your fall

Here is where it all began
At the precipice
Facing all my dreams.
Glistening like water down below
I know I won't be hurt by them
If I hold my breath and dive
Feet-first into the depths
I can test the waters there
with my legs.
Still I am paralyzed with fear
What if I stumble and miss?
Hit my head on the rocks?
I won't get up again
will be as good as dead.
But a little voice whispers
'Let go and fall.
I promise to catch you'
And so I shut my eyes
Spread my arms like wings
and plunge headfirst into the abyss.

Pedestal

He made me his Muse
Scared the hell out of me.
How would I live up to it?
The expectations he has
Some unreal and huge.
Am only human
Not the angel you see
You painted my portrait
I looked like a perfect girl
all goddess and flawless
You have to look beneath
What you want to see
And embrace the mortal me.

If only you knew the right words

I miss you.
More than you can imagine
Just talking to you
And making plans together.
One moment we almost had it
All figured out
The next you were gone
without so much as notice.
No goodbye note.
Nothing!
it's like you wrote me out
Of your life except I didn't read.
I have all these questions
About what Went wrong
you say you have no answers
That I should understand.
I don't want to understand
how you can function without me
I thought we had a seesaw
ups and down together.
Not a broken bicycle
Wheels lying on the street.
I need reassurance that you care
Answers to help me go on
Without thinking I messed up
even without doing anything.
You were my dear friend
We shared intense conversations
Flirted like coy mistresses
were on the same page.
I miss just talking to you
Our friendship was worth more
Than sneaking out at night
through the back door
when I was sleeping.

You could have said something,
you could have said goodbye

Human mirrors

It's that time of day
when dark becomes like light
the roaches begin to crawl
The monsters come out to play
our world their playground
little children the playthings
Feeding off their screams.
created by our imagination
living under our beds
They are shy you know
Afraid to be seen.
All their life they are called
Ugly and abnormal
Seeing humans is like
Looking in a mirror
The screams confirm the ugly.
so they remain in the dark
Afraid to come out
Mirrors become the enemy.
