I admit.
I used to wake up
in the middle of the night
and stare at you.
I absorbed your body in my eyes.
Nothing amazed me more than
watching a violent hostile human
remain calm and intact.
It was my only moment of peace
with you next to me.
It was the moment you reminded me
of the person I first fell in love with

"Goodnight"

We get lost in time
Like it's a bad thing.
But time lost itself
When it found you and I.

Watching you suffer was delightful
Like a box of chocolates
Taking my time, and in the moment
You see, I don't wish pain on anyone.
But you, oh you Mr.
You need it
You don't know the pain you've caused by body
My skin, my heart, my brain
You drove an innocent woman insane
That's the most sinful thing you can ever do
Drive a woman of God into pieces of two.
You ripped my skin into pieces
Expecting me to remain sane.
You stripped my voice,
The one weapon I had against you,
And turned it into pain

There are struggles in your eyes

Tell me who caused them

Abandoned houses sit across the city,
People drive past them
Just looking at them up and down.
I just wonder sometimes,
How much life used to be in those houses?
Often, I think, we do the same with people
They’re beaten down and tormented
Losing control of their image
Because their mind is consumed by a disease
That spreads rapidly, poisoning any good thought
Of themselves in their head.
Depression.
Appearances mislead
