The silence is deafening
And so painful are the memories.
So damaged was I in love
The rose colored glasses masked our unpleasantries.

You have scarred me
And the nights promise pain.
You made me feel less than enough.
This shadow lurks silently as it preys on my sane.

I have become stronger now, yes
I have become wiser indeed.
The only trouble I face now
Is finding someone who gives me what I need.

I wake with the hope of hearing you
I wait with impatience moment by moment
Lost I feel when we don't converse
A day with you is every second worth it.

How much I've grown from before
To know these emotions once again
I know this isn't perfect
But in my heart I cannot pretend

I am driven to hold tight
To every little thing we create
But the emotions I hold inside
Are much stronger than I could anticipate

Friends laugh and tease as they wish
Transparent am I for they can see
I cannot lie to them now
That I want it to be you with me

I know that this may be a bit sudden
Upon the things we have said not to do
But I can't help but whisper ever so silently
**"I love you."

Cold air remains where warm air once stayed.
I prefer your true, cold heart than your lying warm passions.
Within myself, I curl closer; within my heart, I plead silently.
He can provide more for me where you never did.
Wither to dust in this truth, for you are nothing.
See that you were never a good man.
So stop with your lies, your petty games.
I don't cry for you. I cry for myself.
Only this man catches me when I fall
And dries away my salty tears.
You are expendable and he just took your place.
Bloodshed never seemed so sweet.
The cold spot is now warm again.
Now I can breathe once more; in his arms I shall remain.
He shall keep me safe. He shall obliterate your toxic waste.
I shall grow once more. I shall be once again the queen.
No longer am I part of a bitter, abusive relationship. Yet my heart sees the potential of another to cleanse my soul.

Look into my eyes
What is it that you see?
Do you see inside the pain within?
Can you hear my screams of loneliness
Crying for your soul as I claw at my mind?
The darkness inside, can't you notice
How it swallows me whole
Only to consume what little strength I have?
I'm crippling, I'm fading, I'm nothing.
Perhaps you do not see these pleas.
You only see my plastered smile
And hear my cheery, soft voice.
"Everything is great," I lied.
"I'm dying on the inside, help me." I hide.

Starlight wings white as snow,
Illuminating the night sky.
Will you take me?
Can I reach you?

The resonating sound of love,
Sends ripples through the ocean of my heart.
Once an endless abyss,
Now harbors summery waters.

Your words imbued with sunlight,
Drive away the most torturous thoughts.
As the notes of your dulcet voice,
Echo through the airways.

The rhythmic beat of your heart,
Like the ticking of a clock.
I hear it.
I feel it.
I need it.

Oh, bearer of radiant wings;
I continue to climb higher;
Continue to work harder,
Continue to stand taller.

I will fly with you;
I will reach you;
And I will touch you;
As you have touched me.

Distant have I been
Even to those who know me best.
Life has thrown its curve *****
Pain and suffering through each test.

A standstill is where I am
Do I go left, do I go right?
My mind does not know.
My heart quivers in fright.

Changed have I become.
Layers have been removed plenty
The masks of my face still lie about.
All this happened before the year of twenty.

Like a snake, you enter my thoughts.
You are cunning,
You are venomous,
You are deceitful.
Your eyes are black with hate.
Your smile is all but promising.
What is it that you want?
What sick favor do you ask of me?
Do you think me stupid?
I was once struck by your flair,
Your true self cleverly hidden.
I was foolish
To trust such a serpent.
I was foolish
To believe that you cared.
Yet I know the truth.
You never cared,
You never bothered,
You never did feel a thing.

Empty is your soul
And dark as night is your heart.
The little I have known you
I have put up with much.
I was there with you
For all laughs,
All fun,
All sadness,
All struggles.
How do you repay me?
Lies.
Betrayal.
Games.

You wanted me
Out of your life for good.
You get whatever
You wish for.
That's how you play
Your foolish, selfish game.
Think you're the only person here
That can play hardball?

I am not sweet.
I am not gentle.
And this time,
I may not be so forgiving.
You didn't tear me down.
You built me up,
You made me stronger than ever.

A flaw in your design
That you cannot fix.
So into your cold eyes
I glare right back.
I am not scared of you.
I am not intimidated by you.
I am better than you.
I am stronger than you.
Do not judge my gender,
For I am more of the man
You will ever be.

I ban you from my sanctuary!
Leave my conscious!
Or succumb to your darkest demise.
*Crack!
Snap!
Whack!
You should have thought twice before you crossed me Manny. I've had enough of my "friends" stabbing me in the back throughout the years. I've had enough of people like you walking all over me. You were my last straw. Karma shall get the better of you one day and you will regret what you have done to me.
