Locked up and hidden
No one would ever know
Secret and forbidden
She can’t wait to go

Shredded, on the floor
She won’t open the door
Apologies don’t get through
Regret can’t fix a thing

Shock and confusion
Swirl together in her mind
Betrayed by her thoughts
She tries to make it through the night

They say tomorrow will be better
But she knows it’s a lie
Tomorrow’s never better
When you can’t leave the past behind

So maybe I’m the problem and the world's just what I blame.  Maybe from the start I hoped for too much and believed in too much and loved too much. It might be time to stop hoping and believing and loving.  

Really though. Is that what I’ve been doing wrong?

Silence
If I
Stopped listening
To the soundless furies
I let define my life, I would
Be free

Days
Sometimes
The best days are
When you wake up alone
And think today is lost but you
Still try

Numb
It’s when
All the leaves fall,
You watch without seeing,
Seeing the beauty nor sadness
Of change

Memories
Can you
Stop forgetting?
Memories I will keep,
My heart overflows with them but
Not you.

Maps
I like
Glancing at things
Like the world and thinking,
It’s small enough for me to hold
And have

Words**
Sorry
For telling you
My important secrets
When you will not tell me more than
Two words.
