I asked for it,
I really did.
I pushed you away because I could.
She was never toxic ,she never bit.
She never doubted me, and for that I feel like ****.
I can't take back what I said or my actions that took place, I can't take back words and just erase.
The damage I have done.
Her eye's I imagine to be red and with tears,
She has no limit, no anger, no fears.
She's not held back by me anymore.
And for this I am forever in sorrow.
Don't sympathize me.
I am cruel, I am unfaithful and for that I am a fool.
Don't sympathize me.

He cuts her with his words of hate
She has no bruises to hide
Her scars are there but never show
She carries them deep inside

He calls her stupid, a worthless girl
It's been that way for years
Some nights she cries herself to sleep
While drowning in her tears

Her self-esteem is all but gone
He's stripped her of her shame
Keeping her an empty shell
Her soul now broken and maim

And though he's never raised his hand
His abuse is easy to find
She sees the world with hollow eyes
As he tries to control her mind

He cuts her with his words of hate
She has no bruises to hide
What we see is all that's left
For a piece of her has died

You've said the words I refuse to hear
I beg you take them back
You want me to say goodbye I fear
The words I somehow lack

You said I knew this day would come
But I must disagree
I know this happens sometimes to some
But not to you and me

You said you no longer feel the same
But my love keeps growing stonger
You say it's you, I'm not the blame
Please try a little longer

What must I do to change your mind?
You say it's set in stone
A love like this is hard to find
You say you must move on

You walk away and say goodbye
There's one thing you should know
It doesn't matter how hard I try
My heart can't let you go

As light envelopes the eastern sky
And scatters in all directions
Darkness is born within the light
In the form of soulless reflections

The light commands the darkness
To hide upon the ground
And to move among the living
Where ever the light is found

The darkness is taught to follow
Whatever the light decrees
And in soulless reproductions
To mimic what it sees

But the darkness has an enemy
That causes it to wane
The light is always washed away
Each time it starts to rain

But when the light regains its place
And shines across the earth
The darkness once again is born
As shadows are given birth

Sometimes a whisper becomes a shout
Found in the words that we write
The silence is broken, it has to come out
In the colors of black and white

These colors it seems know how we feel
For they somehow give us a voice
Emotion is found on the tip of our quill
Our whispers without a choice

Echoes are found in these colors too
Each time we read the words back
That's when the shout starts tumbling through
Searching for words that we lack

The poet's emotions give ink its power
A slave to the shout that they make
Sometimes it's minutes or maybe an hour
No matter how long it might take

A whisper is silent and hidden inside
A shout will make things feel right
A poet's true colors are tested and tried
As it's written in black and white

Beneath the wings of hope's sweet kiss
I breathe once more to feel
But hidden deep within the scars
Lie shadows that I conceal

I try my best to name my pain
But sorrow doesn't fit
It screams each day for me to hear
Though nameless, it will not quit

I try to rise above the noise
But I cannot heal this sore
An empty heart of deja vu
I've seen this place before

A bitter rose will cover my grave
Its petals not quite right
The angel that I should have seen
Has already taken flight

All my memories fade away
I leave the way I came
There's no one here to remember me
No one knows my name
