too busy feeling sorry for myself
to listen to them,
my pain hurts others in unforgivable ways,
when can I stop fighting this battle?
coz that's when I can stop fighting them

their trust and love
I don't deserve.
this battle isn't theirs,
its mine

I need to do what's right,
one touch and it's all gone.
then I can stop hiding,
stop fighting
against them.
breathe one last breath
they'll cry for a day,
but realise its all for the best

things will be easier
for them, not just me.
the war I'm fighting- over
I admit defeat

i'm sorry

like sorry can cut it
I was starring at you
Smile behind you
Screaming while cutting you
Until you ask me "U okay?"
I realized it's all in my mind.
You placed land mines,
put up walls,
and strung barbed wire
around the path
to your heart.
Closed and locked
the doors
and windows
to your soul.
Leaving us
but one road to travel
in opposite directions.

Impossible love,
You were a thousand miles away
I was never meant to say
“Impossible love“,
When I look at you I see
All the weaknesses within me.
you've made it quite clear

AND I ACCEPT

the fact that i'm not all

YOU THINK I SHOULD BE,

but look in the mirror

AND REALIZE ALSO,

you aren't ex a ctly ALL THAT OF the person you

THINK YOU SEE.
Stuck in slurry
Can't rise above the surface
My feet are locked in place
The past pulls me down
I'm suffocating
The last thing I see
Your face
I reach for your hand
You hold mine a moment
Then let go and walk
away
