as much as i respect what your heart needs

there's just a small thing my heart never reads

being as stubborn as i am, it just wont believe

just something so small, it feels not Deceived

i read it as an offer to just be friends

something inside me just wont let it end

as much as i want to let you go

the heart disagrees, that's not how it wants to flow

it gets the point, it just wants to see

if truly your heart has let it be

it hears all the issues and waits for the truth

not as easy as pulling out a tooth

just to let go, it somehow wont give peace

it doesn't remember signing any contract

always just wanting to be in contact

thinking way back to memories of the past

not caring about it, anything to make it last

as much as my mind sees it fit to let in

a beat in my heart says that wont be a win

if breakups were easy then this would feel fine

something inside me refuses to you not being mine

in retrospect, my love will never stop

not just a phase, no feelings to chop

your heart has reason to feel like it does

my heart will always be one to make a fuss

i guess what i'm saying, if its over, i refuse

i love you so much, you've become my poetic muse

distance can stop this but the heart can't deny

its not that easy,it wont just comply

if this is over, i wont sit i fear

ill just wait and see, ill be right here

If I lost my job.
I could make it.

If I lost my car.
I could make it.

If I lost you.
I just couldn't take it.

This world we share for built for two.
So living it without you would make me blue.
If men in love would admit this.
Even they would know it is true.

If I lost a dream.
I could make it.

If I lost this ring(on my finger)
I be shaken.

But If I lost you.
I just couldn't make it.

You my life source of sunshine.
The support I need.
You're the heart that I forever want beating around me.

If I lost all hope.
You be willing to pick me .

There can never be another worth all the gold you are in my eyes.

Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps on the back
Of the wind and floats downstream
Till the current ends and dips his wing
In the orange suns rays
And dares to claim the sky.

But a BIRD that stalks down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through his bars of rage
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
Of things unknown but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hill for
The caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
And the trade winds soft through
The sighing trees
And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright
Lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams
His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with
A fearful trill of things unknown
But longed for still and his
Tune is heard on the distant hill
For the caged bird sings of freedom.

I'm a ******* coward.
I should have said something, anything.
Instead I just sat here, took it, and tried to hold back tears.
You didn't know you did it.
Probably didn't know it hit me like that.
I should have said something,
but i'm just a coward.

if only you could ever know what you've done to me

ink stained my skin from where i wrote hate letters to myself

scars line my skin from where i tried to cut out everything i hated about myself

fat clings on my bones for dear life because i tried to starve it off

pain still flows along with my blood, traveling from my mind to my heart

if only it could leave with all the blood i tried to lose
