Anger is like the headlights of an incoming truck. It's blinding, and you'll never realize you were on the wrong side of the road until the moment of impact.

a.g

I came home to you one day,
Your things all packed
like you were going away

"Change of plans?" I asked.

"Change of heart."

a.g

"I love you," I said.
The sound of my heart breaking overcame the silence that followed.

a.g

Reminder:
It's better to be losing her in books
than losing her to someone else.

a.g

one day
i might forget
the things you did
to me

and one day
i might not hate you
anymore

but when that day comes
i’m afraid
i might love you
all over again

a.g

Despite you not saying anything
I still believe what your actions show
Because if actions didn't speak louder
Maybe I would have never known

a.g

You close all your doors on me
And leave windows slightly opened
So I try to see what's inside
But you turned off all the lights

I gather up all the courage
As I take the steps to your front door
I knock and ask, "Is anybody in?"
And you say, "Don't bother anymore."

a.g

Are your pants on fire?
They say actions speak louder.
You tell me you love me,
Then act like you don't.

Are your pants on fire?
"I'll never leave," you say.
Only minutes pass,
And then you're gone.

a.g

it might take two to tango,
but not everyone knows how to dance

a.g

you loved me even at my darkest
but some people are only meant to stay
until dawn

a.g

I remember when you loved me;
Those were my happiest days.
They say times pass, memories last
And that things would change.

"Nothing lasts forever," they said
I didn't expect what you'd respond
But you said, "**** right" and that
Was what caught me off guard.

This is not a poem,
As I would only like to speak
About the anger in my heart.
After doing everything I could,

We still fell apart.

a.g

Option, n.: "It's like you're punching me with words," you say. At least be grateful I didn't use a knife.

a.g

With the way people tell me every day,
The way we are, we cannot really mend.
They stare and I know what they want to say,
“It just can’t be both of you in the end.”

The Bible says “Woman is made for man,”
I don’t really know, I have never read.
They will tell you, “You can! You can! You can!”
But once you do, hateful words will be said.

They don’t know how you make my skies so blue,
Or how you keep the sun shining as bright.
We may be girls, we’re only humans too;
In the end, I pray we will be alright.

I‘ve yet to hope you won’t walk out that door,
I will try until I can’t anymore.

a.g

she told me she loved me,
but she would only hold my hand.
she wouldn’t let me touch her hips
or even give her a kiss goodbye.

she told me she loved me,
but it’s been a year since we kissed.
she only hugs me when I ask for it,
my God, I miss the bliss.

she told me she loved me,
but I felt like she didn’t mean it.
she looked me in the eye,
and somehow I couldn’t see it.

she told me she loved me,
but why wouldn’t she say sorry?
then I figured that maybe,
she does love me,

but just not enough.

a.g

She was like the sun with blue skies
Before you came along
She was warm, yellow, and bright
And wanted to sing every song

She told you stories every day
On how the leaves fall when the trees sway
She never failed to mention her love for you
But you stopped listening so soon

Your actions changed her somehow
Now her stories are left untold
Her skies turned grey from blue
Was it so hard to say "I love you?"

a.g

They say to write,
you have to have feelings.

I haven't written for the longest while.

a.g

sometimes people leave
because they found
someone else
or they just woke up
and realized
you aren’t what they want
anymore

a.g

it’s 3:38AM
even after a month
and ten days
i’m always up so late
because my thoughts
are still filled
with you

a.g

i thought
i only wanted assurance
then you told me
a relationship wasn’t your priority

i didn’t know
i would get what i asked for
but it was an assurance
of goodbye

a.g
