I could rip you a new one,
**** up your mind,
make you cry-
drag you to your knees
for hurting me.

And still,
it wouldn’t change,
all I want is
you and me.

I felt in my bones a love like home
that offered us shelter from life’s storm.
When the sky poured rain
and the wind picked up,
The love in my eyes kept us warm.

I built all of our fires
even when I grew I tired,
But it never was enough for you.
Our passion grew weary
I could feel you start to resent me,
Your words were like torches
blazing torture,
fueled by years of your insecurities.

I walked two steps behind
Along your dotted lines,
I broke my back
To put your days before mine.
Broken and bruised
How long could you let
me go on being a pawn for you.
How could you be so cruel?

He was my American dream
Six two with a wing span
you want to flock to.
A piano man
a man of the night,
He biked to me
every night.

He was wild and free
and loved me
like i was the only
stars in his galaxy.

But He also
loved opiates!
His first love was
and will always be
the poppy.

A dagger he used
for the sake of all
that is good and bad.
But I wanted to
fix him,
he was the family
I never had
within the mad.

A ******* shoegazy
dream boy,
he was my favorite
kind of toy.
He’d try to runaway
Every other day,
but i always begged him
to stay.
And He always stayed.

It was always
the last time,
always the last fight.
until another battle
inevitably broke out,
It got even harder
Once his family
Found out.

Everyone was mad
and had something
to say over
what we had.
They always wanted
me dead.
I could hear in the
tone of their voice
they wanted my head.

They got their way
When I moved away,
and they let
Him live in his own lies.
He spiraled out completely
Found someone else just
like me,
He still circles the same
crowds.

He’s become one of my life’s omens
And we must never speak
again.
Because according to him and everyone
else,
I was his life’s biggest sin.
Taking the blame for all the was lost,
Saving his name at whatever
the cost.

Are you sure you weren’t meant for me?
Since the day we met you’re all I see.
I feel like a teenage girl,
It’s always you and me.

I’ll be anyone you need tonight,
Just hold me under the purple lights.
Spin me around on my tiptoes
We’ll get lost in the madness
Isn’t that how love goes?

I thought i was better off alone,
Now I don’t know what to think.
I want to take you by the hand,
And runaway forever!

Read books, take walks,
go somewhere clever.
I’ll go anywhere,
As long as we’re together.

You called me crazy
So let me show you insane.
I was the woman of your dreams
You called me by your name.
You sold me a story of a fairytale,
and not a word of it was true.
I’ve had a heart of gold all along,
and that kind of love shines through.

You put me in a box and
tried to throw away the key.  
But I broke out swinging
Someone had to look out for me.
Modern romance does exist
just not in boys like you.
I got drunk in my own eyes
I saw right through you.

I just have to ask,
was I some kind of game?
Did you have bets with your wife?
Was I your ceremonial sacrifice?
You devoured me entirely
and spit me out the same.
You got the hell out of dodge
Faster than you came.

All I ever asked for was human decency,
Can you  look me in the eye?
Can you say my name?

Loves tug-o-war
doesn’t interest me anymore;
I’m too soft
I’m too kind,
I’ll not only lose myself
I’ll lose my mind.

The back and forth
always makes me feel bad.
I’ll lose my footing
everywhere I go,
Wake up lonely
Just to go to bed sad.

It’s just too much
for someone
soft like me.
Id rather be with my dog
enjoying the safety
of my own company.

Aristotle said,
“Through discipline comes freedom”.
So faced myself in the mirror,
Instead of chasing the sun.
