J.W.
Saige Lakeman Sep 2015
Can't you see?
It's the same old me,
sure i'm scared,
and maybe i'm broken,
but it's your fault.
You could have listened,
you could have tried,
Instead,
You choose to break me.
So I left.
And even now you hurl words in the form of rocks,
Straight through my glass heart,
But I will always try to live,
Even if you don't want me too.

Possible Identity Theif
Saige Lakeman Oct 2015
Really?
I try to help the best I can,
But I've come to realize I'll never be good enough,
You watch them quietly admiring them from a distance,
Meanwhile I sit here,
Lonely,
And you sit there,
Lonely,
And you refuse to sit with me because I'm not them.
Really?

I'm so confused...
Are you lying?
If you're not, then why do you act so?
You're friends with the person who betrayed you,
slinking in the shadows with him.
If he hurt you so much then why are you near him?
But then again...
You hurt me,
and by your side I stand.

Faithless
Saige Lakeman Oct 2015
Jesus is good,
People will die in the name of god,
Only to burn deep down for their sins
but the Devil is bad,
but somehow they both,
make me equally sad,
Where's the relief?
The salvation?
The bright light?
If the good don't get to their paradise,
Then do the bad get punished?
And are the good saved?
I just don't know anymore

Heartbeats
Saige Lakeman Oct 2015
My chest echos with the same heartbeat yours does,
except every beat my heart makes is a cruel reminder that every life has an end,
and our bodies depend on an internal clock,
wasting seconds everyday,
passing time slowly until the day the echos stop,
and our minds and souls are suspended in time,
frozen for the rest of eternity.

Forever about to cry
Saige Lakeman Sep 2015
Cold,
I am as cold as the shoulder you've given me,
Small,
I'm nothing but a minnow compared to a whale,
Hurt,
My mind has been torturing itself for days,
Numb,
The pain is gone and all that's left is bitter tears,
Gone

— The End —
