“To tie someone down”
Such negative connotation
Like love will always drown
It’s victims, no hesitation

To love is to find
A shooting star while gazing
To burn so very hard
And to fall so very blazing

To love is to be anchored  
Kept safe from the strong waves
And never to be wavered,
A torch in this dark place

To be tied down, to be held safe
It’s your choice how you see
Love changes with each person’s gaze
But I know what it means to me
I’m swimming in a deep ocean
Water in my ears
Mind spinning, drunk on bad omens
Getting harder and harder to hear

Repeating this swim despite my pleas
Changing currents fast
My oxygen depletes
And I’m stuck in the tangled trash

the other fish Are thriving well
Why is is only me?
Everyone else, feeling swell
While I am lost at sea
So you’re sad, you vent your day
I listen close and let you say
Your woes, your anger, all your pain
Aren’t you glad I’m here to stay?

The next day I have a try
I start to state my thoughts awry
You chose to look right past my pain
And state your mess despite my cries

You shove your weight all on my back
Your woes drag down, your caring lacks
Up grows my struggle and my pain
I need rest soon or else I’ll crack
People love hearing themselves speak. I wish they tried to listen more.
They praised the girl for her quick wit
The girl they never knew
They said she won’t need help one bit
A fight, she’d never lose  

They said the girl spoke like she bit
The girl they thought they knew
They said she won’t run out of quips
A big ego that girl grew

“I’ll not once need help if I’m not weak”
Said the girl they never knew
“I’ll never say when they hurt me,
No matter how I’m bruised”

So that girl, she went to living
Like a false knight off to war
That girl, she hid each of her beatings
The pain, she would ignore

Sure on the surface the girl proved
The words so often said
That she would never once be moved
If insulted or made bled

Yet after every hard beat
She’d hide in rooms to sob
Each time the tears would repeat
She felt so weak and robbed

“They lied to me, those people did
I’m just a plain girl who still cries”
The girl who believed every fib
Every ego boosting lie

They shook their heads, so fast they did
At the girl they never knew
Why did they think that she equipped
The wits to never lose
Unhealthy expectations can prevent someone from asking for the help that they need.
Beneath cold bricks and cement lies my heart
Not easily chiseled away
I spent long hiding and raising my guard
Often times it’s newly paved

If I count on my hand each one in my heart
Few fingers would be lifted
Gaining my trust is a task that’s quite hard  
I’m too scarred to show and gift it
You, my past and my present
You try to help with lonely lessons
You, you **** me and you bleed
Through every vein inside of me

You, my future and my end
You stitch me up with torn back mends
You, you keep my joys unfound
I gotta gut me to end you now

It never will be easy
To get tumours removed
That’s a fact especially  
When that tumour is you

I need to rip off my own flesh
This cyst, this germ, this flu
It’s me, the chronic sickness
That needs to be removed  

I’ll dig you up with sharpened steel
And rip this tumour out
I don’t think I can fully heal
Without killing myself

You, my love and my sorrows
You bleed me out until I’m hollow
You, I’ll never say goodbye  
You’re all I have and I’m all bled dry

You, you’re something I must lose
But you are me and I am you
You, you’re something deep engraved
And I’ll live with you until my grave
It’s hard to get rid of someone toxic in your life when that toxic person is you.
You’ve given me grief, you’ve given me pain
You’ve made me meek, you’ve made me vain
I should hate you, should crave ****** revenge
It’s insane that I miss you to no end.

Youve screamed and yelled and made me forget
My dreams and wills, the futures I’ve set
I’m finally free yet now I still ship
Notes over seas that I bet you just skip.

It’s not only me that you’ve given pain to
Lots of my loved ones you’ve also made blue.
It makes it much worse to me that I still
Love you this much against my own will.
This is an older one
