You can see the pain deep in her eyes
But she keeps on going
People are blinded by the fake smile she hides behind.

She helps others but doesn't help herself.
She hides behind a mask
Who could this woman be that fights her battles
But helps others

She's powerful.
But she's hurting deep inside
Maybe you should stop and look
See the pain that hides in her eyes
Look past her fake smile
She's hurting
And she has no one

Dear Red,

I see you standing beside me. Fuelling me with anger. The stuff I never felt before. I don't know how to control you so I let you do want you do best.

My blood began to boil. I could feel my skin growing hot as it speed through my veins. My lips pressed into a thin line as my hands tightened into fists as he cursed my family so.

Darkness took my vision as I brought my fist to his jaw. The snap of it sent my blood flaming faster. A sly grin slide onto my lips. This was what I was brought up to do.

The lights began to fade and you slip into the room. I have been waiting for you to come and confort me once again that night. You are like a warm hug on the coldest darkest nights. I feel safe alone in your tight embrace. The light began to show.

It's too bad that you have to go. I want to lay with you forever but you are called away to another place. I hope to see you again old friend.

What are promises?

Promises are empty words that people can't keep. They can easily be broken.
These empty promises keep people together or when broken break them. You can smash them with a hammer. You can't put it back together. These pieces cut whoever touches them.

That's a promise. An empty word.
