She was their World,
Her presence made their hearts run wild,
Her smile melted the iron bars,
Holding power to manipulate time.

But she slept,
For eternal rest.
Leaving behind all her memories,
Eloping to a World,
That cannot be approached, without pain.

The red rose in her garden,
Shed tears every dawn,
Wanting the touch of a hand,
That caressed its petals,
With deep love.
Every dusk it cried,
'Come back! Come back, dear.'

The old tree that stood for aeons,
Withered its leaves,
As if eager,
To reach a destination.
That would make it,
Meet her.
Acknowledging that actions were
Futile,
It said, weeping,
'Come back! Come back dear.'

The dresses in her almirah,
Stood still,
As if lifeless.
They didn't move,
Not even when winds,
Blowed,
Still shocked,
That she left them,
Not even a tear dropped down,
But they quitely prayed,
For her to come back.

The house was dull,
As if blood was,
Withdrawn from its body.
No voices,
Only eeire silence of longing.
The incessant darkness,
Inside it,
Only wanted her light.
And it wished,
For her to come back.

Then were they,
In the niche,
Crying for what they lost.
She was their blood,
Their soul,
Her smile made them smile,
Her pain made them frown,
Her worries made them worried,
Her satisfaction made them satisfied.

But she had left,
Taking all their emotions,
With her.
Only leaving them with,
Unending tears.
In their hearts of hearts,
They wished for her,
To COME BACK.
The most painful thing is the memories we have of those who leave us behind.

He's cold;
Biting at the fingers
Hunting for the exposed skin
Turning it to ash
Finding sin
Nipping under the coat
He's winter,
And I witnessed the downfall of
All of the floral pieces under the sun
Watched them bend and die brittle
Dried and limp with frost
On the tips of its vanity,
Those that would cure she and he -
Wow, she
Flying in a sky filled with hazy poppies
Trailing her kids along to
Jumping fences over heartache
Inside of a globe filled with pain.
Wishing I could go back to happiness,
Bliss was 6 hours ago when I didn't know.

She is quiet
In all but her thoughts
Still in part it seems a curse
Do have a lame mouth
Paired with a mind that runs
A mile every minute

This still is why
She is so weary at heart
Though she dare not move
Or even rise in the morning
Though in her solitary mind
She has already encompassed
Every hardship in the world
No more colours flourish within beneath your skin, they all swirled deep and the darkness bubbled up, and when you cut your finger, ink drips.

Your heart seems dead, though the problem has passed.
The truth is still there, and it’s dark, oh so dark.
I’ve been choking back my tears, especially when you smile at her.
Talk with her, laugh with her, hold her, kiss her.
I do not want you to touch her.

Why did you try and leave?
I do not understand why you would do such a thing,
Such a disgusting thing.

This has made me feel sick to my core, and I’m too scared to go it alone, though I do not want another to dare come near my dreaded soul.

I Hate You.
I Had Forgiven You.
But I Shall Never Forget What You Did To Us.

*Why, Oh Why, Did You Ever Think It Was Okay To Cheat?
You obviously aren’t true to yourself or your partner if you think you can get away from the darkest of ink seeping underneath your dry skin.

Sick
I feel like a avalanche of pain and emotion
Just waiting for the dam of sanity to break
So that way i have an excuse to sleep in later

Tired
I feel like the sand man missed my house-
Or just my room-
For the hundredth time this month

Pain
I feel like if the ache in my head got any bigger
Or if the pain in my stomach grew any larger
I would explode and turn into dust

Pills
I feel like they are there for me
They are the only thing that gives me the chance to catch myself
And they let me do more

Numb
I feel like numbness doesnt come fast enough
And that maybe that it would come quicker
If i took just one more pill

Sick
I think im sick
But the only way i know how to stop it
Is to take more pills

But id rather just stay sick
Ive been getting sick lately and its like everyday i have to take ibuprofen for really bad headaches. I just dont know what is wrong, So im gonna go see a doctor. I just feel like im gonna go insane if i dont
I really thought I knew
But I was sadly mistaken
The advantage over me
You had easily taken

The wool had completely
Covered my eyes
As I fell for all your excuses
Promises and lies

You were so dame convincing
Played the part so well
All the while pretending
And I could never even tell

Until the day you faltered
And let your true self out
I finally got a glimpse
Of what you were truly about

I couldn't really believe it
I didn't want it to be so
But now that you're exposed
I have no choice but to go

I will no longer be made
To look like a fool
And never forgive myself
For breaking my own rule

The rule most important
That was number one on my chart
To never completely give
Someone my fragile heart

Shadows in the light, we are
Lonely roses, just
Wither,
And die....
