Cheating

My teeth chatter and my leg shakes
As i think of the forms cheating takes
A snap every day, seeing each other here
“I couldn’t help it. Blame it on the beer”

“You’re all I want. It was just a mistake”
Was it really or are you a snake?
You say all the right words, so how could it be
That you were always lying to me

Siren #2

Every time I start to move on
You try and lure me back in
You’re a siren and I'm drawn
To the water on your skin

I am safe on the land
With a caring man by my side
He’ll keep me on the sand
And try to keep me dried

I try and combat your song
Which promises me wishes
we both know it’s wrong
You'll leave me swimming with the fishes

But I'll wave the land bye
When she drags me down
I don’t want to stay dry
I want to drown

cry for help

I want someone to notice
And
I want someone to help
But
I don’t want anyone to know
And
I don’t want anyone to worry
See
I don’t want to disappoint you
But
I've already disappointed myself
See
I don't want to hurt you
But
I've already hurt myself

Memories

I can scrub you from my mind
And erase you from my heart
I can delete you from my phone
And keep your name out of sight

But I can't leave us behind
Because you tore me apart
So when I lay in bed alone
I think of us holding on tight

The memories are kind
Bittersweet from the start
But they're in the past and I'm on my own
Trying, praying, I will be alright

Being real, you're a mastermind
Deception is your work of art
And every time you come and atone
I want to give up the fight

Please stop trying to come back. I'm tired of feeling the pain.
