Such a small voice
silent on the winds
the words silent
to those who turn away

a single promise
a single hope
a single flame

Gone out in the night
a single sound
upon the winds

She tried
and for what
a forgotten name on stone?
The action
innocent
The meaning
purposeful
the reaction
unknown

A single spark
A single question
A single bit of curiosity

And the carefully crafted house of cards
will come crashing down
because in the end
the house always wins

until their caught red handed.
Full of hope
Full of dreams

I woke up bleeding
from the cut I obtained the night before
the silence of a phone
only echoing the loneliness

Thought everything would be fine
but my government failed me
And now after finally finding something
that was helping
I no longer can go

this was a good day
this was suppose to be a good day

and all I wish
is for it to end...
A single phrase
Burned on the scar it created
A single action
A single thought

"Don't be sad"
My body shakes
The fear of the hit
Worst then the actual strike

"I didn't yell this time"
This time...
Will there be another?
Will I be punished again?
Will I be taken advantage of again?

"Are you you still hurt?"
As if a breath or two
Would fix the scar that's bleeding
The mind went silent
A default protection from the pain

The bones healed
But the mind couldn't
Such a fragile piece of thin ceramic
The cracks are there

Was this a hiccup
Or the beginning of another end?

The knife you hold is very sharp
Will I be cut again
Or will you put it down
My devil in disguise?
"What are we doing?"

I'm falling
I'm dreaming of you
I long for your touch
Your warmth
Your presence
A home we created
A home I can live in
Because despite everything
And every fight
I still choose you

My dreams use to be with another
A hope on a "one day" prayer
A longing for what I lost

And then you
Shattered my dreams
Shredded my mind into pieces
Made me question my worth
And I still go back to that night

Where actions were louder then anything else
Where I got to know
That love could be with another
And that I could trust another
So yeah
Longing
Falling
Smiling as a heart shatters

"What are we doing?"
"I don't know."
"Leave it to me to fall for the one woman on the continent I can never ******* have" -Xaden Riorson
Happy
Hopeful
Excited
Giddy
Bouncy
Peaceful

And yet all I feel
is the knife back in my chest
that I first felt
a years ago
When I realized
I would always be second
It would be easy
hoping the words I wish to speak
find you in other indirect ways

But alast
only the truth comes out
years later on my silence
on why topics are limited

I cater to you
I've always catered to someone
its what I'm suppose to do
right?

Because my voice is small
because my thoughts and just second thoughts
because my wants, come second?

To be honest
I don't know which is worse
believing I could muster up a lie
or that this time

I'm the one who fell first?
