Can you honestly say you have found a man that suits your wishes everyday

I can

Can you honestly say you are happy to be with him in every stupid little love fling kind of way

I can

Can you honestly tell him you love him and mean it but when he says it, he says it as a friend

I can

Can you honestly fall flat on your face for him and he might not even notice

I can

Falling head over heels for a man that is blinded by his own lover

I'm falling and someday I'll crash

I can't...
Claire Walters Sep 2015
I am friends with the most poisonous spider,
because I know it can't hurt me,
but somehow I'm still getting bitten and the poison is rushing through my veins,
I try to breath in oxygen but you kiss CO2 in my mouth
and when it's broad day and I can see clearly,
you cover my eyes so all I can see is the darkness that you have put in me
and my feet are now brown from the dirt path I have been walking on
and the only light I have is a little ounce of hope that the sun will be out in the morning
Claire Walters Apr 2016
The trees are calling my name telling me to come home now
There is no path pushing me back to where I supposedly belong
For I belong on the streets of my little town
I walk along where the grass blows
Pavements and gravel feel like home to my sore feet
I'm not yet home
Not where I belong at least
This house is not my home
The wind knows which way I like to go
For I follow it
The rain likes to surprise me when it knows I've gone to far
Up till the early morning it looks as if it's night
Moonlight and sunlight shine down on me
Brightening my day so I can see
I am finally alone and on my own
I'm finally free
Claire Walters Jul 2015
Make sure something bad happens
You might wanna go to a solitude place
Maybe sit down
Have your heart ripped into tiny pieces
It's key to make your nose start running a little bit
Make sure you can barely breathe
Try grasping for air in between sobs
Have some tissues near by but if not a sleeve or hand works well
And last but not least perfect your make up so you look like a zombie
Claire Walters Jul 2015
Why are you crying?
I didn't hurt you
I hurt myself
So why are you crying
I'm fine
Don't worry about me
I'll be ok
Claire Walters Jul 2015
I can't see you
I've been looking forever but I can't seem to-
My air seems to be running out
I can't see you
It's in my eyes and my vision is turning-
I know you're down here
I can feel it
But I can't see you
I swam to far down
I can't seem to get back to the top fast enough
I'm surrounded by water
I can't breathe
Help
Help me
I need you
I'm looking and
Im searching
I'm trying I really-
I'm running out
I can't see you
I can't hear you
But i can hear
I can hear the screams
They haunt me at night
I can feel the splashing water hitting my face and blinding my eyes
My body only seems to know how to float
I'm trapped
I want to swim to you but it's like something is holding me back
I can see you
I can see you know
You're screaming to me
Muffled by the water crashing and I see the bubbles come up when you speak
And I try to dive in
but something is holding me back not mentally
but physically
I try my best to reach you but you keep sinking down
I'm being pulled up and you're being tugged down
There's alarms in the distance I can hear them
I can hear everything now
The sirens
The screaming
The thunder
The waves crashing rapidly
My eyes are blurry and it's like I'm being spun around a thousand times
and I have to shut my eyes because it's to much
And now I can't see you
Claire Walters Jan 2019
What are we doing?
We are slowly fading away and i dont want to
But we have to
Nothing lies in the future that is beneficial
There is no progress
There is no future

I’m gonna miss you
Much more than anything in this world
But our love was like watching sprinklers twitch,
in the rain..
Speeding up to a red light,
Pointless

You planted me but did not want me to grow
Just wanted to see me rot
Kept piling more dirt on me,
Making it harder to reach for the sun
But I got there
I did
And I’m thriving...

Just believe me
I'm not lying
Really im fine

I miss you

I miss the smell of your granddads cigarettes
I miss the taste of your soft lips
I miss the touch of your hands
I miss the feeling of your love

I miss you

I miss the cigarette smell
I was craving that awful smell
I couldn't stop breathing it in
I wanted to keep breathing it in until my lungs turned black
Because it was the smell of you

I miss you

I miss the taste of your soft lips
I was craving that amazing feeling
I couldn't stop thinking about it
I wanted to keep kissing you untill my lips hurt
because I love your lips

I miss you

I miss the touch of your hands
I was craving your thumb run across my hand
I couldn't bare it any longer
I wanted to feel your fingers rub against mine
Because I love it when we hold hands

I miss you

I miss the feeling of your love
I was craving you
I couldn't contain myself
I wanted to feel your love over and over again
Because I love when our bodies collide

I miss you
Claire Walters Dec 2015
Oh no,
Darling you,
Grew up to early,
It wasn't suppose to,
Be like this,
I'm,
Sorry,

It's no fun,
Being, a grown up.
If I could I would,
Change that,
I would,
Give you your,
Imagination back and,
Go back in time,
But,
Life doesn't work like that and,
I'm sorry...
Claire Walters Oct 2015
Infect me with your love
I want to die knowing that I'm infected with your love

Poison me with your kisses
I want to kiss your lips knowing that I was the last to kiss you

Strangle me with your hugs
I want to breathe my last breath knowing your arms are wrapped around me so tight that I can't say a thing but only hear you whisper

"It was an accident"
Claire Walters Aug 2015
We are born to live and learn how to survive this world
Only in the end to die
And think how useless it was for our existence
Claire Walters Jul 2015
sorry my Imagination got

The best of me i guess i just
Hoped and dreamed that we would be

You know life was pretty great with

Claire Walters Feb 2019
It’s 4:50 pm and the clouds look angry,
They wanna fight, I know it
Not with me but my brain
They know something i dont

The loud cracks
Whipping in my head, my eyes wince shut

I KNOW OK I GET IT,
I GET IT NOW!
YOU WERE NEVER “THE ONE”

They’re screaming at me
Telling me how wrong I was
They’re not upset, no,
Just- ready to listen once again to my long stories of complaints,

And they wonder why I don’t do anything
Why don’t you do anything!?
Why, because you love him? Is that why!

Love is evol it says so it’s self,
Tears your heart apart
What does it mean?

If we knew what it meant there wouldn’t be questions and concerns,
Jealously, for gods sake!

Stop,
they are angry
Listen to them
There’s a reason they look the way they do
They know
You know
It’s time...
Claire Walters Jul 2015
I wish I could fly
I wish I could die
I wish I could spend more time with my dad
I wish I could start a fad
I wish I wasn't so much of a home body
I wish I could be a super model hottie
I wish I could be loved
I wish I could have a dove
I wish I could finally make a wish and have it come true
I wish I would just stop thinking about me and you
I wish I could stop wishing
I wish I could go fishing
I wish the world would be a better place
I wish the blind could see
I wish the deaf could hear
I wish the homeless had homes
I wish the poor were rich
I wish the mean people we're nice
I wish the diseased always had a cure
I wish the racists would stop being racist
I wish the homophobes loved gays
I wish that cancer would disappear
I wish that there weren't any fear
I wish that the bad people wouldn't be here
I wish that we could see the thunder
I wish that all of us could wonder
Claire Walters Jul 2015
I would have never thought that you and I would be together
We weren't the closest of friends
But I helped you get her
It only lasted a while
I didn't know I was falling for you
But I was
You got everyone
And now that it's been a couple years
You've almost dated everybody
Even me
We dated three times
And even when we weren't dating
When we were "just friends"
Stuff happened
Stuff happened that has never happened before
I liked you for the longest time
And I would lie to my friends when they asked
We would argue almost every day
But I loved you
And I wanted to keep it that way
We loved each other through thick and thin
Our friends told us that we were like an old married couple
Maybe it was fate
Or maybe it wasn't
We will never know
My friends told me to watch out
They told me I was gonna get hurt
And I did
Every Time
And I knew it
Every Time I would crawl back to you I got hurt
But I liked it
The pain was awful but I miss you
They told me to stay away
But I miss you and I miss your love
And I would **** to talk and see you again
But we're "just friends"
Claire Walters Aug 2015
I want to sleep with you
No ***
Just sleep
No ******* or banging
No headboard clanging
Just sleep
Just us cuddling together
Our bodies intertwined with one another
Arms reach across stomachs
Fingers interlock
Legs wrap around each other
Eyes close
We both nod off
In the comfort of one another
Claire Walters Feb 2016
Hello
Oh darling, you need to stop crying,
You have absorbed all the rain from the clouds and carefully placed them in your eyes,
On your cold pillow that's no longer comforting,
I know your confused right now and nothing seems to make sense,
because the people you've come to know and love are not who you thought they were,
The person you thought you knew best,
just betrayed you and you don't know where to turn,
But just hang in there because it will all get better,
and yes your life will still have its ups and downs but trust me,
It won't be as bad as this.
Claire Walters Jul 2015
waiting for a turn on the swing
waiting To go on a plane
waiting for something exciting to happen
Waiting for your bus
Waiting for a waiter
Waiting for the right moment
Waiting for that call
Waiting for a text
Waiting for something to go your way
Waiting for your final grade on a test
Waiting for the perfect day to fly a kite
Waiting for it to rain
Waiting for it to shine
Waiting for the right someone               Or just
Waiting in line
Claire Walters Jul 2015
Our love was like a light switch
Off and on
We never stopped loving each other
Even if we both had girlfriends and boyfriends
We were meant to be
From day 1
It was love at first sight
We couldn't stop staring
We couldn't stop talking
All we seemed we needed was each other
we took breaks
But we always returned to each other
I can't wait to see you again
And turn the light switch back on
Claire Walters Jan 2019
Since I was a little girl I have learned that a little girls voice only travels so far
And little girls’ voice couldn’t be heard over the wind
She wanted to be loud
To be heard over the lakes
To be payed attention too
  
During family parties little girls voice was background music
Little girls voice was cut off
Two words in if she got lucky
I dont know why she kept trying
But she was determined

Little girls voice would become low and loud
And more attractive to the men’s ear
They asked her about her life
As if now it was anymore exciting
Little girls voice grew and grew and she got loud
She had to
She didn’t have quite of a choice
She wanted to be heard
And she was
They heard her
They all heard her
She was listened to now,
and not just heard
Claire Walters Sep 2015
No such thing
Love is to powerful to be happening in a second
Love doesn't happen in the blink of an eye
They were lying
The people who told you
It was love at first sight
Claire Walters Sep 2015
Drink me
Like your alcohol
Love me
Like you love your alcohol

I will drown myself in an ocean full of beer
Because I know you will drink every last drop

I will shrink myself down
Small enough to just barely slide inside your favorite bottle of beer
Because I know
you will always pick me
You always pick out your favorite one
And then
will you love me?

Would you love me if my name was alcohol?
You could call me al for short
Because I know remembering stuff is hard for you

Can I be your favorite kind
so you'll love me

I will do anything just so that I can feel you hold me again
And not grip me so hard that I have bruises on my arms
And throw me down to the floor
where my thighs seem to be the natural color of black and blue

I don't care
if I have to smell your breath that screams the word "wasted", in my ear

I just want you to love me

Broken bottles hit the floor
Shards of glass everywhere I step

But I can't seem to feel the pain anymore
For you have already caused so much...
Claire Walters Jan 2016
When...

When the fish start drowning,
When the birds stop flying,
When the plants stop growing,
And the sun stops burning,

When the rivers stop flowing,
When the arrows stop pointing,
When the directions don't help,
And the hearts stop beating
Will be the day I'll stop loving you
Claire Walters Sep 2016
I took a long and hilly road down to memory lane,
The trees concaving in,
Acting like a roof to the animals that scurry by.

Our house hidden back behind the pines and oaks,
That is where I grew,
Where I prospered,
That tiny house is where I learned to love,  
Where I learned love,
Doesn’t last.

The pond in the back,
Seemed to croak at night,
The rooster crowing in the morning behind us,
And now I awake with nothing but silence.

I see no roof covering my head when I walk out the door,
Everything has seemed to change,
And driving one last time down that road and onto another,
The trees seemed to wave goodbye.
Claire Walters Aug 2015
Thirteen hour drive
Straight through
There was no turning back
Time for a whole family vacation
We were tired
We were punchy
We were a mess
We were headed to Michigan
Where the weather is always indecisive
Where the birds are always talking
Where the people are always smiling
Where the lakes and rivers are always flowing
Where the boats are always running
Where the bikes are always moving
Where I am at peace
To hear the water crash softly
To see the seagulls fly so gracefully
To feel the damp rock in your palm
To taste the sweet air
To smell the swaying trees
It's Michigan
It's miss ya again
And it's gonna be missed
Claire Walters Jul 2015
A million writers
A million stories
A million tries and
A million fails

And  still no body can find the right words to say
Claire Walters Oct 2015
Never in a million years would I have thought it would be you
The person that makes me smile an in instant
But it is
And it's true

Never In a million years would I have thought I would talk to you
The person who I'm not suppose to associate with
But it is
And it's true

How we got to talking
Well that I really don't know
How we'll ever stop talking
Well that I really don't hope so
Claire Walters Jul 2015
Do not mistake mirrors for Windows,
see you could look through a window and see something new every day
but if you look through a mirror you see your reflection
the same person looking back at you,
trying to see what's wrong or what you need to fix
like a punctured tire on a highway
like a broken heart mended by some other person that u thought that was right,
but you were wrong
You have been wrong and that's okay
we make mistakes don't worry I have too.
But because you were wrong you can never go back
you can never see yourself that you were before
you see yourself as someone totally different
as someone else would see you
you see yourself as a monster
A victim of your own crime
but truthfully and honestly you're beautiful
and if you can't see that
Find a mirror
Find a mirror that will show you that
Show you that you are beautiful
Show you that you are smart
That you are amazing
And that you don't need to fix yourself
For you or for anybody
Because you are beautiful the way you are
Claire Walters Dec 2017
You sit in her stomach
Wrapped up in flesh
She cannot see you but she can feel you

Those 9 months are like a really
long blind date
But the mandatory 9 months were cut short...

You were suppose to have a birthday
We would tell each other secrets
And you would tell me about your girl troubles
I would scare the kids off that made fun of you

I remember the day that mom was  bed bound,
Mommy was “sick” Dad told me
He said not to bother her,

She gave me a white bear with a pale assortment of colors on it,
It came with a marker so I could draw on it,
And when I wanted to change it, all I had to do was wash it,
I thought it was great.

I wish my life came with a marker
I would draw us all together
And never wash it
It would stick and become a stain

I wish I could see you and tell you how everyone is doing,
Mom has a new husband now
And dad is single  
they separated awhile ago
It’s ok, I’m glad you didn’t have to be here to witness it,
You have an older half sister you know?
Yep and a little one too,
You’re a middle child, just like me.

I wanna tell you everything
But mostly I wanna hear you speak
Tell me what you’ve been through and how it is up there
One day I’ll see you and we can catch up on life.
Claire Walters Aug 2015
My phone buzzed
I was half asleep
I saw it was you
I quickly awoke
I haven't spoken to you in weeks
I thought about you today
But didn't bother texting
But I guess you were thinking about me too  
A thousand questions rushed through my mind
Is he interested in me again?
Should I text back?
Should I fall back asleep?
Should I read it and not reply?
Is he lonely again?
Or is he just bored?
I saw your text
I quickly texted back
I was so excited to be talking to you again
My heart skips a beat when I hear your name
I can't breathe
I start to blush
And I can't help a huge smile
I try to hide my feeling but I can't
The way I feel around you is like no other
But I don't even bother anymore
You pull me in then push me away
And i dont know why I keep crawling back
Now I wish my phone hadn't of buzzed...
Claire Walters Jul 2016
Have you ever seen a rainstorm come in?
You hear little pins dropping every once in a while on a parking lot space next to your motel your staying at for the night,
then your hear it steadily speed up and see the glistening droplets reflect off the lamp posts' light,
and before you know it it's pouring on the old tin roof and your watching it in amazement,
questioning how this even happens and how you even got here but knowing when you walk out of this very motel room in the morning that the pavement will be wet and you'll say you know why because you were there when the gods cried last night
Claire Walters Jan 2019
Move your mirror
Just to the side,
The light hits you just right and you can feel the sun on your skin
You my dear, are glowing
And you’ve never felt better,

6:00 comes around and the light fades
You don’t look the same
So you wait until tomorrow,
Tomorrow you’ll feel it again
I promise
Claire Walters Jul 2015
Sean
It was 1 night
But that one night happened 2 much
There were 3 of us
And it happened be 4
Almost 5 nights a week
Almost had 6 slices
But I want 7 of you
Ask me if you can come in so you can 8 with me
It's almost 9 every time I order
And sometimes 10
You are at least an 11 out of ten
You stop making pizza at 12
I wish I had found you at 13
It's been almost 14 days
I hope I'll see you again and in case you didn't know I'm 15
And I'm hoping that maybe you're 16
But maybe 17 that's what I'm guessing
Just please don't be 18
And please don't have a 19 year old girlfriend
Let's exchange our 20 digits between each other and give me a call
So we can spend 21 years together
But let's try to get past our 22 word conversation
Or more like 23 characters
Should I try to call you tonight on the 24th
Or tomorrow on the 25th
So I can get that slim chance to see you and my delicious pizza
Claire Walters Aug 2015
You will go away but the scars you left won't
There a reminder to me
Everyday I stare at them and I hate myself because of it
Because I let you in
I knew you were bad news
All of my friends new about you and what you did
But i didn't believe them
I didn't want to
I wanted to think that you were amazing
But you were the opposite
And once I was in there was no possible way out
I was afraid and scared
Everyday my dignity would shrink
You left bruises mentally and physically
And I never will forget you and what you did to me
New
Claire Walters Aug 2015
New
New floor,
New ceiling,
New walls,
New beginning,

No,

Old beginning,
New house.

New beginning to the house,
Repeating beginning to the people,

New you,
New place,
New us,
New you.

Old memories are sold,
New ones are untold.

Same life different story,

No.

Different life,
Same story,
New us,
New beginning,
But mostly,
New you
Claire Walters Jan 2016
I wrote it down today,
the three words.
I stared at them, hard, thinking only of you,
I took my pen and scratched it out.
I thought "how could I love someone one day and the next, totally lose feelings?"
And now I find myself doubting if the feelings were ever really there
I know they were there at one point,
But it all seems like a bad dream, and some would say nightmare...
Claire Walters Jul 2016
I'm not ok
The truth comes out slowly
And I explode
I'm hearing you
But your words don't comprehend
Confused and lost
In a world where everyone speaks underwater
And I above
Forgetting where to turn
Or what's around that known corner
Having everything
But only remembering nothing
Silence sounds like screaming
And I'm not ok
Claire Walters Jun 2017
When you know what the scale is going to say at the doctors,
so you try and push your fingers up against the wall so you're a little lighter without the doctor noticing,

Drinking more water that day and putting weights in your pockets hoping they won't check anymore,

Failing to flip on a light switch and having to walk back a couple of steps to try again,

Shoving your body into a door because you thought you opened it,

Pulling a push door,

Watching when the light goes off in the fridge,

Getting electrocuted for the first time,

Scared shitless when the **** toaster goes off and you weren't ready,

Getting into a fight with your microwave door,

Locking your keys inside your car,

Accidentally burning yourself with fire,

Ripping tape off of your leg like you're getting it waxed,

Slicing through skin with paper,

Spilling water all down your shirt,

Being ******* human,

Looking in the mirror for the first time and not liking what you see,

Not liking the number on the scale,

Having disabilities,

Disorders,

Get over it?,

Shut the **** up,

Go eat a cheeseburger?,

Shut the **** up,

Weak,

Never giving up,

Strong,

Trying,

Tried,

Being damaged,

Having baggage,

Wanting people to understand you are not perfect,

Realizing everybody is fighting with themselves at some point,

Fighting their own battles,

Keeping secrets from everyone else,

keeping quiet,
because talking is not permitted and so forth forbidden...
Claire Walters Oct 2018
Move slow and you can hear my bones creak
I am that old wooden rocking chair in your grandparents home that you used to go to every Sunday,

And every Sunday you used to set the table even though you never liked it much,
Five fragile dinner plates in your tiny palms spread across the placemats
Soon five turned to four and Sunday dinners were more quiet,
If you moved slowly enough you could hear your bones creak
When we didn’t talk you could hear the clock tick
The grandfather clock stopped ticking awhile ago but it’s a decoration now
You grew sad when you would count the plates and your thumb would slip down to the fifth one and slowly back up to the fourth,

Two chairs sat in the living room
only one being used,

The rest of us sat on the off white couch with flowers that had been sewn in, and the rough beige blanket that was laid across the top of the couch would scratch our necks if we laid back all the way,

That old wooden rocking chair pressing into the carpet imprinting it’s legs there forever, no one sits there anymore.

Four turned to three and quickly to two,
Two passed on and the other was removed

Four years go by and the house was sold, but the memories will never vanish
Claire Walters Jul 2016
I am a broken pile of destroyed cells,
I sit in the darkest corners of the room,
No one can see me,
I like it that way,
The cold breeze drifting across my torso and up to my shoulders,
Running across my chest and neck like a silk scarf,
I was once used,
Once loved,
Once cared for,
I was once somebody's,
Then that somebody left,
Left me broken,
And now I am a pile of destroyed cells who sits in the darkest parts of the room
Claire Walters Oct 2017
He said “one is lonely” I said
One isn’t lonely,
One is confident,
One is independent and doesn’t need help from another to make it happy,

One is the beginning,
One is the start to something that can go on forever,
One is me,
One is you,
One can do anything it sets its mind to,

One doesn’t need a second opinion because it’s opinion is the best one,
One says i love you and doesn’t need to hear it back,
Because one isn’t lonely
Claire Walters Oct 2015
I was half of who I was
I was half of who I wanted to be
My heart was only a half
And my mind was paying the fee

No one understood but you,
They all broke me
And my heart was in two

My heart was whole before all of them came

Now my heart is in pieces
Tiny fragments of shame,
From all the people taking little slivers
My heart was like a running river

Then you came along
You came along and fixed me
You fixed my broken heart
Because two broken hearts make a whole and,
You made my heart laugh
You made my heart smile
You made my heart feel happy again
You're the one who taught it how to love again
When I thought that would never be,
And all this satisfactory
Will never last
And I know this because I've learned from the past,
My heart will soon be in half again and no longer will be
The same heart that it was with you and me
Claire Walters Jan 2019
Cry till your eyes burn
But can’t set them aflame
They’ll go numb

Pull at my throat
My tears,
they will suffocate me one day i know it

tear coming from my eye
Go back up
He can’t see that i cry

I am tired of crying
My pillow has only felt the waves of the ocean since you left
I’m tired of riding those waves to sleep

My stomach is in knots
My lungs don’t remember how to breathe

Crying in the dark is like swimming in the unknown parts of the ocean,
The quiet sobs are your lullaby,
And tomorrow will bring closed eyes at dawn from the restless night
Claire Walters Feb 2019
Thought I needed you
Thought I depended on you
Thought I had to have you by my side to live and thrive through this life

Oh but I was so wrong
A good kind of wrong
I have proven myself to be independent and strong without you
It’s like I was driving down the highway early in the morning before the sun decides to come out
It’s pouring rain & I couldn’t see
And the clouds lighten up,
I can see but it’s still dark
I can see,
but barely

The crazy thoughts going around in your hotel room
It’s a mad house
A Delusional dramatic fixated being
It was fine until it wasn’t.
It was good until it stopped being beneficial
Big words and lost creativity
It’s fun to write, they said in her brain,
And she agreed
I can’t stop it
It won’t stop
It never stops
Never comes to a halt
My voice and thoughts always seem to be trapped in a vault in which I did not own the key
And the day I held it in my hand
I was free

The snow covered the land like a white blanket with no wrinkles
The trees looked as fake as-
As fake as plastic
Perfect plastic
That was the thing,
Wasn't it
How everything was and is and will forever be perfect
But perfect can't exist
It's a fictional word
Because nothing is perfect
Not you
Not me
Not anybody
as far as the eye can see
But that's not what they believed
They lived in a land where everything had to be perfect
Even the birds and the bees
Including you and me
And no one understood
Absolutely no one could
How someone and something somewhere could be perfect
Some life to live
Some people to meet
Some perfect people
Some perfect life
Living some perfect day
Everyday
In every which way
And it all starts out in a perfect sway
But when it comes around to May
The perfect people all go away
And they all start to look another way
And they all don't look the same
There is no more fame
And no body to blame
But that blanket
When that blanket melts
And the flowers start to welt
Nothing seems perfect anymore
And maybe it never was
But we will ever know
Because we were living our non perfect life
And living just fine
All of there husbands off with there wife
People weren't walking in a straight perfect line
Everything was just fine
And fine is devine

He knew I was an artist,
he said paint me,
I painted a monster
Not only in my head but on my life’s canvas
He tainted my blue skies into black
Confused my clouds into thinking, this isn’t what I think it is,

My grass was no longer green anymore
He took my pallet knife and changed all the colors to my canvas
made me out to be the one who looked color blind
He was a criminal
He took me when I did not wanted to be taken,
For granted,
He took something from me that wasn’t for sale
Oh but the price you pay when your friends tell you no, don’t
And stay away
He’s not good for you
He’s not good-
It costs way more than money
It’ll cost you a bad memory
And a color blind canvas

I rolled my eyes when u left
Why?
We'll probably not to start crying again
I was a mess
No
correction
I still am a mess
You stress me out
You make me freak out when I hear the sound of your cheap heels hitting the floor
The sound of your voice bouncing off the walls,
making its way all the way down the stairs to my room
My heart skips a beat
My stress level goes from 0 to 100
I can't move
I know you're going to come downstairs
I prepare myself for a bombarding of questions and things to do
But what you don't know is I've been doing things all day
I clean all day
I take care of your daughter all day
I feed the animals
I walk them
I do so much and you don't even know
But you came down stairs
I lost it
My eyes filled with tears
I tried to hide it
But I couldn't
You told me to calm down
But this happens everyday
And you just found out about it today
And so I rolled my eyes when you went away

What's a little lie that had held some truth?
Small increment of time wisely pre-planned  
Our wild adventures in our youth
I had known it like the back of my hand
The risk took me somewhere I've never been
I have never felt like that way before  
All that comes to her mind is the word "sin"
I willingly walked through that double door
Hiding from the one who started this mess
She saw me and came at me with her words
She then sent me out and caused all this stress
Me, watching all the obedient herds
I kept walking until I found the way
"Was it deserving she went me away?"
