Unravel
Breannah Cross Apr 2015
Unravel
Take a breath
Breathe it in
To figure out
How you'll pretend
That you're not breaking
Caving in
Just so you don't harm
A so called 'friend'
You hear the lies they always speak
Are you still listening

Unravel
Please let it all fall out
Unravel
Now and scream it loud
All their lies their pretending
Everything they've done
Every misplaced feeling

Unravel
Let them see the pain
Let them see the anger
And everytime you've walked away
Show them how
They've underestimated
They picked fights
You walked away
They don't believe
One day you'll break

Unravel
And show them their fears
That you won't be walked over
Or critized
You won't be knocked down
And you will fight

Unravel
And show them who you are
All of your thoughts
Because they think they can push you
But it just taks once

Unravel
And show them what you are

Imagine
Breannah Cross Oct 2014
Imagine
It is easy to imagine
with paper and a pen
It is so easy to pretend
that everything is fine
When you write the endings
  the story is your own
You control it all
there doesn't have to be villains
People of the gruesome kind
you tell the stories inside your mind

Scars
Breannah Cross Oct 2014
Scars
Tell me are these your scars
The ones you made
Because of your heart
Tell me, just me are these your wounds
made by the ones who are supposed to love you

Please tell me, are these your scars
The ones that made you who you are
I know, believe me I know
How you feel
How it feels to feel alone
I have my own scars
I know this is real

So tell me, just me
Tell me about your wounds
I've had people I love hurt me too
I see the look in your eyes
I know that look, it matches mine

Just don't think I'll judge you
Because I wont
I've been judged before and know it hurts

So tell me, just me, tell me your story
I promise I'll listen to what you have to say
Because all I needed was someone to listen to me

The Abyss
Breannah Cross Dec 2014
The Abyss
Darkness is all she sees
When she looks at you
Even when she looks at me
The abyss of her sorrows
Goes down for days
Each day she borrows
Because it has never been the same

There are taunting whispers
Turning to screams
She lays awake crying
Afride of her dreams
The abyss in her heart
A hole to huge to fill
The abyss in her soul
It will never heal

She wonders each morning
How she will feel
If today's not a good day
She wonders how she'll deal
She has been falling for a while now
But no one has noticed
She has been hiding for a while now
But no one has found out

Her abyss is her prison
Her skin her cell
She's on eternial lockdown
Trying to breakout
Her efforts are pointless
Her attemps she has failed
She wants to stop trying
But the pain she can't bare

She is begging for help
But no one is listening
She is living this hell
But they dont see her missing
They don't notice
The look in her eyes
But I, I notice
Every single time

My abyss is my prison
My skin is my cell
Is it of my own making
I can't even tell
My wrist they hold scars
My heart is all bandaged
My soul tells the stories
My mouth can't manage

By; Breannah Cross

Guard Yourself
Breannah Cross Dec 2014
Guard Yourself
Why open up
When they give you reasons to close
Why give them love
If hate is what they show
Guard yourself
As I guard me
If I let them creep in
They'll only harm me

So don't knock down walls
I'll just have to rebuild
Don't call me your sister
It the relationship isn't real
Don't dare tell me to talk to you
If you don't like how I feel

I refuse to tell you
What you want to hear
My words are now truth
I don't care how you feel

Breannah Cross
I was cut short sorry

Yesterdays
Breannah Cross Feb 2015
Yesterdays
Yesterdays hold little meaning
Yesterdays have lack of dreaming
Yesterdays are in the past
But yesterday is all we have

In yesterday you help my hand
Yesterday you loved this
Today has only brung me pain
Today is not the day for me

In yesterday we were in love
Yesterday had an us
But yesterday is long gone
Yesterday could be our song

If there were words for yesterday
Thoes words would be you and me
If only yesterday was on repeat
Though yesterday lives inside of me

I wish on yesterday could be relived
I wish today all the best
Today hold heartbreak
It holds pain

Today is the begining of the end of me

Leave
Breannah Cross Oct 2014
Leave
Don't tell her your sorry
After all of your lies
Don't tell her you love her
When you cant look in her eyes

So do her a favor
Leave her alone
Just pack your bags and leave
You don't call here home

Why are you staying
Tell me why you're still here
There's nothing left for you
So please find somewhere
Somewhere far away
Where I wont see your face
And see how much you enjoy hurting me

When
Breannah Cross Feb 2015
When
When did we become so deaf
To the screams of lonelyness
Why is this the path we walk
To prideful to say we've lost

When did we become unfeeling
Blind to a touch
Deaf to yeilding
Why is this the road we've paved

When did we become so hard
Rage and lust becomeing all we are
Why have we laid down these tiles
A path that holds not reconcile

Why is this the world we've made
Why is home not a safe place
Why are caght up in the lights
Why is life eaisily left behind

The Trees
Breannah Cross Mar 2014
The Trees
The trees they sway
The same way everyday
And i wonder what its like
Their peace, Their harmoney
They have a silent tune
A beautiful melody
One no one can hear
But one that I see

The trees they sway
And i want to feel that way
Their silence has never been so loud
People hear them, People fear them
Something of their unknown draws me in
Something about all the fears

Theres someting about them
Something that i'm not
Something fearless and free
Something above everything

It is the end
The trees will always win
They are something forever

Waiting for Rain
Breannah Cross Nov 2014
Waiting for Rain
Tell me something new
So tired of your almost truths
You make me feel alone
When I'm right beside you
So I will stand outside my home
And wait for rain
So I won't be alone
You'll show up like a dream
But that's the only way I'll ever see
Unless it rains your never there
All alone with no one here
I wish on all the falling drops
I didn't need you
That this could stop
But still I stand and wait for rain
Because with rain you'll save the day
I want you here when the sun shines bright
But you're only near when it's put of sight
So I'll pray for rain
So I'll see you
And once again you'll do nothing new
You'll cover my head
With the jacket that smells like you
You'll hold my hand
Then bid adue
Until the next storm
I won't see you

Secrets
Breannah Cross Nov 2014
Secrets
The secrets
You keep them
Hushed whispers
Behind cupped hands
You hide and decide
That you know best
Look in my eyes
Don't try to deny
I see how you hide
Blank stares
Vacant eyes
I don't understand why you try to hide
I know who you are
Your ***** little secrets
I know where you're from
But you don't believe it
I want to love you
Not wait for your secrets
For you to trust me
To know your past
You have to trust me
So we will last

Beauty
Breannah Cross Oct 2014
Beauty
Don't look to closely
The picture might change
As you lean nearer
The colors will fade
As you realize what you love is fake
The distance deceiving
The lies your eyes tell
When they want to see the beauty
The beauty that divides the dark
Beauty that holds a place
A place in your heart

If Only
Breannah Cross Jan 2015
If Only
If you could only believe
Every word that they speak
If only I trusted them
Like they trust me

But trust isn't given
Trust is earned
It's far from a handout
It's something you learn

Some trust easily
Others not so much
Trust can be broken
As soon as it's hurt

So believe I trusted once before
But trust is a path
I'd rather not follow
At the end of the lane
Is a heart that's been swallowed

At the end of the lane
Is a heart stuck in sorrow
Trust is an issue
Trust is a game

Trust was my friend
Now my enemy

Fear
Breannah Cross Mar 2014
Fear
We take up space
and breath in air
we are nothing more
than something there

We get so scared
we walk away
we're motivated by fear
because fear is surreal

Something that's found
in light and dark
something that's bound
to everyone

We are lost
we're confused
we're obsessed with something new
with what is new

We are blinded
by the light
we're forced to choose
wrong from right

Her Story
Breannah Cross Mar 2014
Her Story
The silent tears roll down her eyes
yesterdays pain is relived tonight
everything she's fought against says she has to fight again

Her worst dreams replay in her head
it brings her to tears again and again
the felling of sorrow clings to her soul
the weight of the world she can't let go

She's silently waiting
for a sweet release
she's been hoping for something
something no one will believe
And she's the strong one
the one to stand tall
she's the good one
the one everyone depends on
