Past Tense
Alicia La'Trice Sep 2014
There was just you and me.
No one could beat us,
We ran the world.
Found new adventures along the way;
I gave you my life and you yours.
Even through the dark,
We helped each other through.
The battles were strenuous,
We were strong.
Our bond had its test,
Through them we beat all.
Then that faithful day,
When you drew your weapon.
You drew then sliced it right through me.
Into my back,
Past my heart.
I can't breathe,
You can't take it back.
I can't see,
You try and fight,
For us.
But what's left,
When half of us is dead & gone.
Through every battle,
Nothing could break us.
Through every adventure,
Not ten obstacles could stop us.
But you,
You felled us.
And sitting in recovery,
Belief in the impossible,
I just can't believe.
The knife you stabbed me with,
Showed no mercy.
Even with your words,
The weapon said so much more.

Homestead

I live in the dark, it is not my friend just a bails bondsman bringing me back from the anguish. In the dark no one knows you and you see no faces. You don't see the looks of disgust or the tears of disappointment. The dark is silent as it cloaks the whole room w it's dreadful embrace. Don't fight the dark because when the time comes it will be the confidante from the world you know. When the dark is near it'll never leave and you won't even notice the ones you love walk away. I live in the dark, but it is not my friend.

All I need is love. 
Hold my hand in the park love,
Ugly singing karaoke love. 
I just want to lay on your chest love,
You're the only one in the room love.
Caress you with my eyes love,
Planning our future kids names love. 
Be my forever love. 
All I want is your love.

Distance
Alicia La'Trice Sep 2014
I'm pulling and you're pushing
Escape is necessary to survive this crazy state. 
You yell nothing has change we will always be the same
I look into your eyes and notice a new light that burns bright
Yesterday was great but the clouds have rearranged making today, a new day
As you fight this approaching revelation I try to make amends
When this ends I want us to always be friends 
You tell me nothing's over it's getting better than yesterday
I hear in your voice the strain of keeping me close
You're pushing me to stay and I just keep pulling away.

— The End —
