I did it
I can't believe I did it
Why?
Good lawdy
why?
Why did I kissed him?

Secure that of all in the world
Yours was the shoulder I could lean on
In your safe arms I could rest
When life became too overwhelming
Put my strength to the test

I once loved you
Thought myself under tender protection
Plotting carefully unknown to me
You dealt me rejection
For a time  I was alone and frightened

Of this fact you were quite aware
Otherwise you would not have dared
To treat me so cruelly
For in truth
You are a coward

I once loved you
More than the moon and sun
Until the lies became truth
It all was undone
The betrayal showed its head

So your life rightly shall be
The same hell you intended for me
I ask myself how could it be
I once loved you

I met you, and you were beautiful,
and I said nothing.

We spoke for the first time, we found common interests,
and still I said nothing.

We became friends, swapped notes and stories over drinks after class.

It was the perfect time to tell you,
instead I said nothing.

We grew apart, saw less of each other, spoke to different people,
so obviously I couldn't say anything.

You missed class. A lot. People asked where you went,
I didn't know, so said nothing.

You came back with a beard and ******* circles under your eyes, still beautiful,
but I said nothing.

Months later, you started to laugh again, held the hand of a girl as you walked past me, raising your head in acknowledgement.

She held your hand as tightly as you held hers, she said something when I stayed silent.

I saw you were happy again,
so I won't say anything.

Look at the soft sad shape of her lips,
       how she screams from the inside
       as she only gave off a sigh.

Look at her modestly downcast eyes,
       how her tears welled slowly
       as she refused to cry.

Look at her pulsating wrist,
       how it weakens
       when she denies

That she’s looking back at you
      on a mirror
      full of lies.

I can make you new, take your hurt, set you free
The worldly pressures no longer burying me
My broken heart for all to see
My unlocked soul to absorb all misery
Give me your hand, let me turn you free
I can save you, redeem you since they crucified me
Stack your griefs at the hill of sacrificial victory
I am with you forever, so breathe easy you'll see
Trust me, I love you, just come follow me
Signed, sincerely your savior †o be

I was late,
I couldn't wait to see you;
But the former, more believable
A reason why
I was running the rest of the way
To the house.
I almost cried
First when grandma hugged me,
Second when I thought about it,
Third when we crossed the highway
And you did not hold my hand
Not because there was now a traffic light posted there,
Nor because I now wear my hair red and my eyes lined;
But because all three reasons,
You would rather not believe
Before you even hear,
Than look at me again
And know who to believe.
