To me
You are the epitome of wonderful
You bring the light into my hollow world
But you see
That I am swallowed
By the dark
Every day seems so much
Further away
I return to the depths
And every day
You pull me out
But every night
I return to the depths

Dirtied faces
Tainted with flowing crimson

Walking a dead dusty path
Rotting with decay

Feet dragging with discontent
Splintered bones aching away

The journey endless
Days blistering into nights and

Nights that make sub degree temperatures
A blessing of warmth

Traveling souls
Corrupted by life
Stained by regrets

Walking endlessly into oblivion

These tan lines remind me of
a time when I was truley happy.
Not long ago
I was with you.
My sunray - the only one
that I don't despise,
could never block out.
These tan lines remind me of
you and I.
Misplaced.
A bit uneven.
But they will stay there
as long as my sun ray
continues to shine.

I loath you, you ******.
Your words were unfair.
Your actions were worse.
I thought that you cared.

"I thought you were different."

You made me believe
I was more than just ***,
then you moved onto her
and you moved on fast.

You loved but yourself,
your love wasn't true.
Your love was a lie
and it lies just like you.

It's a giant steel padlock
latched onto an even greater door.
Bullet proof and flame retardant.
It opens for no one.
Not for friends.
Not for family.
Not for lovers.
Not even for me.
How can it be
that something so strong
can be so weak
internally?
It is me.
