Everything out in the open, but no one wants to clear up the mess left behind or pick up the pieces.

I guess you’re back again,
Hoping to waltz back into my heart
Like you never left it shattered
Or made me doubt my own worth
What makes you think I’ll fall for you again?

Is it the way I let your hands
Rest on my waist for a little too long?
Or how I tried to look away?
The fact that we see each other every weekend?
Or that I smile so wide at the sight of you?

The truth is I can’t, I won’t, I haven’t
Fallen for you again
How could I when I never truly hated you?
I never fell out of love with you
Everything you put me through and
I still made an excuse to love you

You can’t fall back in love with someone
If you never fell out and I hate you for that

Her eyes sparkle
I'm not her
The way her body curves mesmerises you
I'm not her

No matter how hard I try
I'll never be her
But that doesn't mean
I don't deserve more

I'm my own person
The world is at my feet
So watch me flourish without you
You lost me, but it wasn't my loss

Finally free from your grasp
I'm not her
I'm honestly happy
I'm not her

There once lived a girl
Free as can be,
Her smile bright,
Her heart young,
And her eyes full of sympathy

There once lived a girl
Loved by all,
Never sad,
Never lost,
But this was before the fall

There once lived a girl
Crying for help,
No one to turn to,
No one to trust,
Everyone heard her yelp

There once lived a girl
All alone,
No more friends,
No more laughter,
All because she wasn't a clone

There once lived a girl
Horrendously broken,
When her life slipped away,
When her smile disappeared,
So many words left unspoken

There once lived a girl
Free as can be,
Ruined by the world,
Ruined by society,
Now she lays under the oak tree

So many times she was hurt,
So many times she cried
While everyone stood by,
Now she is gone
Everyone has died a little inside
In memory of the girl with the bow in her hair

How could I ignore the signs
Everyone drooling at the sight of you
Rushing to follow you
Barely believing you’d choose me
Instead wishing it was them
Excited to wake up to your name

But you were the first to
Really look at me like that
Only to drop me in a second
Killing me with flirty remarks
Every time you saw me

Maybe I was naive but
Everything seemed right with you
Katie Edmunds Nov 2017
Hidden by brotherly advice
Masked by a best friend’s punch
Our love was there
In drunken moments our bodies brushed
And our hearts bled for the truth
Too scared to face the possibility
That we deserve more
Katie Edmunds Oct 2015
Remember when I broke my arm
you held me and promised
I would come to no harm
You lied

My arm was snapped,
you’d finally hit me too hard
No one believed me
they said my lying had gone too far

Remember when I won my race
the way the crowd cheered
I was on top of the world
But you weren't there

The pub meant more
your head was pounding
I wanted to tell you
but I didn't make a sound

Remember when school phoned
They saw my bruises
you said I was learning to box
That was true

I had become you're punching bag
Never dared to hit back
you would only react
So I just stood there

Can you remember when she left
we were torn apart
I was missing a key part of my life
You weren't

You told me it was my fault
But I knew it was yours
She was too scared to run
You pushed her over the edge

Can you remember when I left
You didn't even say goodbye
instead you let out a sigh of relief
That was the final straw

I’m back now
This time I won’t back down
you have got away with too much
Now it is my turn

A stone through you window
All your bottles smashed
I torched you car
My heart is detached

I’ve got my revenge
It has all come to an end
I hope you’re glad
I will never call you dad
