You squeeze all the
love out of me.
Then you leave me
on poles to dry, hanging.

I gave her my heart, but she never cares for it.

It just sits there...

                    ..collecting dust.

You can throw me to the wolves, they won't hurt me. The wolves know my scent. We howl at the moon together.

You can take me to the demons, they don't terrify me. The devil knows my name. We spend nights together.

You can give me up to ghosts so they haunt me. Oh! How they like it; this void in my chest, where my heart used to be.

"Just how dark?" They ask.

"Sometimes I give the devil quite a scare," I reply.

I'm used.

Just that sometimes it gets really heavy!

You gave back only a fraction of what I gave. Leaving me to wonder where all the other pieces went.

And I gave you all of me.

Maybe
Gerald Jun 2020
Maybe something I don't know about happened in the past.

Perhaps someone took away my heart.

Or is it just me?
Because everyone I meet makes me feel like I'm just so hard to love.

And now...they find it odd, that I like it so much in the dark.

You loved me like they do in the movies.
Perhaps thats the reason why it ended.

Put the blame on me
Gerald Jun 2020
I have myself to blame.
Every "stop sign" I knocked down is a witness.

I had to stop.

Because what else
is left to give,

when you
give it all you got?

Trapped

Its really hard to escape,
When the thing you're running from is yourself.

Darling
Gerald Jun 2020
You hate me..

'cause I'm the one
person you couldn't fool.

Hexes and spells just
don't work on me.

Darling,
I'm the very
darkness that makes
up you.
