You still haunt my dreams sometimes,
and I can't seem to sleep at night.
I lay restless in my bed. Why won't you just get out of my head?
My past holds me by the wrist
And with every little choice I make,
I feel a little twist.
Why does it get this far?
I wont let it leave me with scars...
Why do I,
let it get this way..
I still get scared
to this day.
I don't know what to do anymore,
I wanna close the door and run.

You're everywhere I look around,
you're haunting my dreams, without a sound
you're haunting me.
You're like my personal nightmare, why dont you just get, out of my hair?
You had the upper hand, but why am I,
made to be lower?
I know I don't deserve it, I know I'm not all to blame
If I was just being strong, why make me feel like I'm wrong?
Just because we weren't the same.
I wish I had the answers,
I wish I knew the truth, but somethings are better left unsaid,
some things we  have to lose.
I hate that it turned out this way
but maybe its for the best.
I just want this to end,
I just want to get some rest.
Old poem I wrote about letting the past determine the future.
Warm tears stream down my face, as I see me being replaced. I was once yours and you were once mine.
What happened to the good times we shared?
Now they're replaced with bad times to show you never truly cared.
Good times were robbed,
Bad times to replace,
What was once love but now is hate.

Tangence
Every winter
I become dragon
Wings unfurl
Black combat boots crunch
Against the icy ground
Claws raking streaks like stars

Every winter
I become dragon
Because my heart is a princess
Stuck within the towers created by my ribcage
She mourns
I grow scales of armor

Every winter
I become dragon
"This isn't working out"
The sound of tears washes over the chambers of the castle
I swish my tail, I close my eyes
I can feel the walls tremble

Every winter
I become dragon
Because I grow stronger
I do so because I realize only I am able to protect myself
I curl myself around the princess and swear to do better
Spring will come, in time
I play back certain memories
Like movies in my head
To remind me of the times
When I felt alive and not so dead
Even though you’re
975 miles away
I know you will be
My valentine someday
I miss her so much.
The only sins
I’ve committed
Were stealing your heart
And lying to myself
That love exists

— The End —
