You Say..
Erica Stroud Jun 2012
You say that your not your past and that it doesn't define you. Yet you let it dominate you everyday. You say your past doesn't define you? Then tell me why we can't be together. You say that your not your past but hasn't it made you who you are today? You say that somehow it will workout, but can't you see your past is still catching up to you? You say you want me, but don't we both know who your going to end up with? You say you hate her, but don't we both know there is a fine line? You say you wont let it ruin us, but don't we both know your gonna do what you have to do? You say who cares, but don't we both know you do? You say i make you happy, but then why do you say you hate your life? You say you want me, but do you have to lie?

Just For The Feeling...
Erica Stroud May 2012
Caught me by surprise
Wish I knew how unwise
It was to compromise
Everything under the skies
Just for the feeling he brought
Now my stomaches all in knots
And an ache in that same spot
Cause neither of us fought
For the love there was
Felling like I entered Oz
Everything finally in color
Know their is no other
Who kills me like you do
Really wish you'd get a clue
And shamefully i will admit
That im still in love
But all I wanna do is shove
That awful feeling away
Cause vulnerability isn't my forte
Love the feeling you unearth
Just don't know how much its worth
Brings too much pain
But I can't complain
No matter how unwise
I chose to compromise
Everything under the skies
All for the feeling you brought.

Clousure.
Erica Stroud May 2012
Clousure.

It can make or break you. Can **** you or save you. Can set you free or clasp the cuffs. Can give you peace or make you crazy. Can bring you smiles again or endless night of despair. Can lead you to someone better or ruin your confidence. But as long as you get it, you know its over. Can be a good thing, or something that can shatter your soul. You can choose though. Will you let it make or break you?

To be thought of as perfect...

Would it be a confidence boost or
Too much pressure?

Would you use it to your advantage or
Try to be what they expect?

Would it tear you apart or
Build you up?

What would the perfect person look like?**

Compassionate.
Humble.
Truthful.

Come Out At Night
Erica Stroud May 2012
Why is it that i don't miss you as much during the day? It starts to sink in as i lay in the dark. The blankets over my head. Face burried in my pillow. Fingers clenching the sheets for dear life. Tears streaming down my face. Don't feel the pain anymore. Hardly feel anything at all. Why is it that I miss you more at night? Cause im alone with my thoughts? Cause i know you should be here with me? I was always told their was no such thing as demons. But then why do i have to face mine every night?

All Apologies.
Erica Stroud May 2012
Don't think im better than you, im just not interested. You can't help who you do and do not like. Your a good guy, you really are. Probably one of the best i know. We can joke and have fun. But thats all it can ever be. Im not attracted to you. and im not gonna be with someone i don't feel like that for. All Apologies.
