I loved
You loved
We loved
But you lost your love
Then found it again
And this pattern went on
For months
You told me everytime
That I was the best thing that ever happened
To you
But I cannot believe those words any longer
Because if I was,
Then why do you leave me everytime
Making me feel like I am the biggest disappointment
That has ever happened to you

You :)

you were there to light my day
you were there to guide me through
from my days down and on
i'll never stop thinking of you

how can i forget all that
when you're the one who make me smile
you'll always be a part of me
how i wish you were still mine

never will forget the day
how we've met and came this far
we all know we got this feeling
but somehow it has to end up here

i know it's me who said goodbye
and that's the hardest thing to do
cause you mean so much to me
and guide the truth from me to you

for all the things i've done and said
for all the hurt that i've caused you
i hope you will forgive me baby
cause that wasn't what i meant to do

What Do I Have Left?

What Do I Have Left?

What do I have left?
I have a ticket stub from our first date;
I have a scar on my thigh from the Sunday I met your family for the first time;
I have a whole lot of memories that tap on my window on the worst of possible evenings.
Evenings when I can feel the cool September wind on my shoulder,
seeing a whole lot of red
with a replay of how our summer fell apart in my head.
I have your name
and the hush tone apology you gave me in the dark still suffocating the blood in my veins;
I have sleepless nights
and my fair share of moments I wish that I could change;
I have pictures from the night you took my wasted mind home and tucked yourself into bed with me;
I have sad eyes that remember the look on your face when you kissed me goodbye for the last time;
and I have a calender that beats me down
trying to get it through to me that it's fall.
So don't bother asking me what day it is
because I'll still tell you that it's June 23rd
and your grandparents were absolutely darling tonight.

You don't deserve a poem with a title.

You don't deserve a poem with a title.

YOU LOVE HER AND YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME.
HOW COULD YOU?
HOW THE HELL COULD YOU RUN TO THE GIRL WHO EVERYBODY LOVES
AND LEAVE BEHIND, SO CRUELLY,
THE ONE THAT NO ONE WILL GET TO KNOW?

I was an idiot to not have seen this coming.
Honestly, what the **** did I think I was;
Desirable? - ha.
And how naïve of me to think
that a child like you would have the decency to
look past my scars and ask me if I was okay.

You’re a pain
and an ***
and nowhere near deserving of my affection.

...so why do I still feel this way about you?
How could I still let myself hope like hell that maybe,
just maybe,
*you’d want me.

*******.

Liar, Liar.

You're a mistake.
A burden I live with every day,
You're a mistake,
Don't tell me to trust you
because you are all the same.
Liars.
Yeah, I call you by name.
You kicked me when I was down
And left me with shame.
Liars.
You're the reason for all my pain,
Never again can I trust what you say.

Skip that Song

Skip that Song

I skip that song again.
Too many memories still hang on the words,
the notes clang like old glass bottles
the woman with the red scarf tied to the oak tree,
they knock in the wind, fragile whiskey ghosts,
of times to sacred to be remembered now.
So I'll skip that song
till the bottle strings break,
and my someday-daughter asks
about the snowflake shards of glass
beneath the old oak tree.

This is why you DO NOT associate songs with relationships. This one written specifically about "I'll follow you into the dark" by Death Cab for Cutie.
