is one ENOUGH?
    I guess not.
       two then
         each one-
      making their mark.
      but you won't stop
            until you leave a SCAR.
then HOLD HER as she cries
        because of the blood
your hands have caused
        how do you FEEL?
               anger? maybe.
               REGRET? that too.
   unable to believe,
  that you're the MONSTER
            that caused her pain
but you can feel the ACHE in your hand
   as you unclench your fist
PROMISING her
   it'll NEVER happen again.

Choices

perhaps-
perhaps its just a mistake
a terrible mistake
a mistake made against his will
his fragile will

i can't expect perfection
for im not perfect myself
i am flawed

it is my flaws that haunt me
and tell me i should forgive, forget, and let live
continue to love
only partially broken
but making myself mend
what wasn't my mistake
in the first place

but of course
it was all
just a terrible, unforgettable mistake
that he made the choice
to make

Lost in Indecision

there's so much I don't understand
its a wonder I'm here at all...
pass by through petty masquerading
and petty smiles I don't deserve
emotions that flicker
but refuse to flame
sparkles that promise glory, but
as they turn ash
bring me to shame.
if you promise to keep a secret
I'd tell you I miss you-
and you'd say you miss me too,
wouldn't you?
if only you'd leave
so I could come find you
hug tight
and exclaim that I'd never let you go.
unless of course,
you wanted me to-
but you wouldn't
wouldn't you?

— The End —
