Ok
I'll stay
Even when you hated it
Even when I can't take it
Even if you wanted to let go
Even if I wanted to find someone else
Even if you find it difficult to understand me
Even if I find it difficult to look for you
I'll stay
Just for you
Because I really want to stay
In the end
It's always going to be you

Even if you won't make me crazy
Even if I can't make you smile
Even if all you bring is trouble
Even if all I bring is worries
I'll stay
Just for you
Because it's worth it to stay
Because
There's no one worth loving
Than you
Strong hands
Loving heart
Your wish is my command
Your words send shivers down my spine
Or console me to sleep.
Blind fold me,
Taste me,
Play with me to your hearts content.
Hold me,
Sleep with me,
Keep me safe throughout life
Hold me,
Love me,
Let me be your little girl.
Kiss me,
Touch me,
Let me show you my world.
A world of glitter,
And pink.
Of stuffies,
And cuddles,
And juice to drink.
Come be my daddy,
And feel a love,
So strong and pure.
It all sounds strange,
Believe me I know.
But its worth it..
Come hold me,
And you'll know.
I danced to the tune of your heartbeat
I love to the memory of your touch
I'll bleed just to see your smile for one more fleeting moment
I'll give up my soul just to hear your Angelic voice calling my name

In the bitter end
The truth decaying my numbing mind
Words like daggers through a fragile heart
These words floating in a river of hatred
The honesty of your love undefined

You moving forward in life
leaving me broken and blind
Truthfully, love and hate both have four letters
This time your love was unkind.
When love only flows one way
no matter how hard you try
When every part of you is craving their touch
when they say that they love you
Yet it's the kind of love that's never enough
It's a love that hurts,
It's a love that lost all the smoothness of being gentle
a love that wholeheartedly rough.

Sin
After you lost all the money
you thought you’d win,
you remember nothing ever
happens in the city of sin.
You just wanted to have some fun,
but you drank a little too much.
You ended up swerving your car,
then heard an awful crunch.
When you looked in the mirror
you saw blood on the ground,
but you just drove faster
instead of turning around.
The next day you learned,
you ran over a little girl.
So the police were called
now they’re looking for you.
People called you a monster on the news,
and you knew their words were true.
The guilt was too much to take,
you didn’t know what else to do.
So after you wrote your note,
you slowly reached for your .22.

krm
Broken-record words,
twirl in the lobes of a brain.
Don’t play again.

It's so stupid:
I'll be sitting here and suddenly
A picture of you pops up and
It doesn't bother me.
Until I look into your face and
I remember back to a time when
Things were ok between us...
But now they aren't and
I don't know why.
I can't figure out why it's hurting this badly.
I've tried busy work,
Singing,
Screaming,
Drinking...
None of it helps but
I haven't broken down yet.
Maybe it's the pride
Or denial
That someone like you
Could do this to me.
You somehow brought light to my life
After a malicious storm of darkness,
When everything was falling
And you said you would catch me...
But now, when I need you the most-
Ironically, because of you-
You're nowhere to be found,
You won't be back around,
And then I hit the ground.

Someone stole my color
And threw it to the wind
Scattered like ashes
I don’t know if I’ll ever find it

Someone stole my color
From the face I know so well
I saw it in the cotton candy clouds
And the teal ocean swell

Someone stole my color
I guess that’s where it went
The world looks so much brighter
Like something heaven-sent

Someone stole my color
And that’s what no one knows
Depression isn’t black
It’s the color of a rose

It’s the light orange in a sunset
And the yellow of a peach
Light blue, my favorite color
So simply out of reach

Purple like my favorite eyeshadow
No, lavender, I’d guess you’d say
And my favorite music artist
Although he has passed away

Someone stole my color
Now everything’s too bright
I suppose sometimes darkness
Isn’t the opposite of light

Someone stole my color
So I’ll wear grey and black
As if in mourning
Until I get it back
pity drips like warm syrup
reluctant— almost,
sweet to sender,
onto unwelcoming pancakes
flat, absorbing all they can
always leaving extra around
(they can’t possibly hold all there is to offer.)
An unsettling ending. At least to me. But I think I like it that way. There’s nothing else to say. And pity is unsettling in the same way.
