she walked around
waiting for the pain to fade
but her make up stains
were ugly on her face
she smiled for her family
everything was ok
she was an actress
to everyone
loved games
only
one day she would break
his heart
just like he did
to hers

His confessions were slow and seldom
Whereas yours fall rapid and steady
From your lips, dipping down
To kiss my body
His loneliness was everlasting
Whereas yours settles for nothing
Looks me square in the eyes
Daring me not to smile
His words left me bruised and blackened
Whereas yours find soft healing
When you tell me you'll do small things too
To make me happy

I refuse to spill my heart over any more pages for you.

How do I heal if I break every time I feel?

You were, but a music freak
And I
Just another song
Removed from playlist
After being overplayed

This is what I need --
to be free,
to break the chains
that hold my wrists
so tightly --
because I can no longer
be a slave to these
empty emotions
that have never
brought me warmth.
