...and I remember the first day I saw you,
our first adventure together,
you pulled out a Cheshire cat,
you knew my favorite everything,
our first adventure,
our last.

Rumor has it
I was wrong,
it was me who ****** up,
you were right all along.

I couldn't help it though,
you should've known,
those words weren't from me,
I was lost and alone.

I cried no tears,
they wouldn't come out,
just shook and screamed,
did you hear me shout?

I know it's too late
for you to want to understand,
but maybe in the future
you'll take back my hand.

I lost you,
just like that,
in my life one day,
out the next.

I'll let you walk away,
if that's what you think will make you happy,
you can keep my love,
I don't want it back,
I gave it to you,
hold onto it real tight
when you realize what you lost
and memories are no longer black.

My words were sincere,
my heart's intentions were clear,
you couldn't face yourself,
you're so full of fear.

I hope one day,
you can face what's true,
but not too late,
you need to be you.

No one watched me fall apart,
left alone in the darkest dark,
no light left here, no one near,
only the ghost of me writhing in fear.

I stayed by the side of everyone I love,
each left me abandoned,
no hope from above.

Emptied I became,
body, soul, mind,
no love left to give,
leaving everything behind.

I loved you with everything that I had,
I'm sorry I wasn't enough for you,
but there's no longer reason to be sad.

This will be my final goodbye,
I apologize for my crimes,
I thank you for your time.

I thought i'd be better
without you,
but it's just getting harder
as the days pass by,
the clock ticking fast,
my heartbeats racing past,
your face burning in my mind,
the time is making me blind.

I thought i'd be better
without you,
your soul burning bright,
sends me shivering in the night,
as I rock back and forth,
praying for your words to reach me,
wishing that you'll want to keep me.

I thought i'd be better
without you,
my lungs cease to breathe,
my eyes in searing pain
as my mascara tears fall.

I thought i'd be better
without you,
feelings growing strong,
knowing I can live without you
makes me want to never be,
makes me want to stay,
but not the way that you want me.

I will have to remain without you,
will I fair? *I will have to try.

I told you that I wanted more
and you left me here
on this cold, hard floor,
said you needed time to think,
she's in the picture now,
can't push her to the brink.

But what about you,
you are sad and broken down,
you need someone there
to listen to you scream and shout.

Do you feel safe enough with her
to tell her your woes?
Because I know, without you telling me,
that it's not her scent that lingers on your clothes.

Maybe i'm wrong,
I don't know ****,
but when you're ready
for me i'll be here,
don't forget.

I'm here for you no matter what,
through thick and thin,
doesn't matter to me,
it's only important that
you find yourself within.

You'll be just fine,
you are stronger than you think,
listen to your intuition,
write it down in ink.

**** this poem it *****.

To be able to tell you all the things I am thinking,
all the ways I want to heal you,
to listen to the stories of how each scar
has been etched into your soul,
this would mean the world to me,
I want to hear, I want to know.

Lying on your side,
your eyes focused right on mine,
I would search the depths,
I would look through the golden brown,
to find that place that you keep hidden,
to see your darkness,
and to fill it with my light.

Soft hands on your cheek,
as I wipe away the salty tears
that fall slowly.
I say, "if you want salt water,
let me take you to the ocean".
Would you let me or would
you walk away?

If only I could tell you,
if only you would let me
show you the love I have for you,
would you understand,
but instead i beg,
"let me hear, let me know".
