They said he had a face
Only a mother could love
And the clothes on his
Back were torn.

His skin was pock marked
And his back was bent.
His teeth had rotted
In his head.

But when he sat
At a piano and sang,
The notes reached into
Your ribcage,

Crushing your heart
With an ivory key.
His beauty could bring
You to your knees.

Fragile self: bleed.
Abandoned puzzle: incomplete.
No stars shining in the night.
No sun rising in the east.

Forever dawned upon the darkness,
Nightmares; eternity of fear.
Thoughts recurring; creating pain,
Terror nothing can endear.

Don't extend your hand to me.
I'm no damsel in distress.
I need no knight in shining armor.
I know how to clean my own mess.

Don't say you'll be here for me.
Seasons alter; lies behold.
You'll never be able to fix me anyway,
My wounds will heal on their own.

Fingers crossed on broken promises;
Deception in the eyes of man.
People leave; people lie.
I'll save myself while I can.

I will be fine.
I'll be alright.
I won't give up yet.
I can still fight.

I will be my own sun.
I will light up my own day.
I will put stars in my own night.
I will drive my own fears away.

Things will be different.
Things will go wrong.
But life will go on.
And I will go on,

On my own.

I waited
Just waited
Waiting for the day
When you would text me

"Good morning beautiful"
How I waited for those 3 words
To pop up onto my screen

I waited    
Just waited
But they haven't came

So I wondered
And keep on wondering
Do you even miss me

a month has gone by
Still no word
I'm so crushed
But you don't see                

I hide my feelings
Behind closed screens
I pretend it doesn't bother me
Secretly it's driving me crazy

I fooled around
I had my fun
But none can compare to you

I miss your silly little smolder
The way you held me
I miss the fun times we had
The endless nights we slept together

I can go on forever
I wish it was different
I know it can't be
But if ever you need me
You know where to find me
