Vertigo

Weakened knees
on firm, hard ground.

Futile footfalls
on sinking sand.

Dazed and confused
by the sights and sounds.

Losing balance
in familiar lands.

A new day
would come,
in all it’s dew-scented glory.

And I would rise...

But with yesterday’s eyes.

Just a Touch

just a touch from you gives me peace in my mind
when I close my eyes, can't hardly open it
don't wanna wake up from this dream seem so real
don't wanna think about you leaving me soon
cause we know we're not meant to be
nobody gave this kind of effect on me
here I am, preparing to drown
just to let all come to me again..
You and you alone...

I let different boys touch me
Because I wanted to know
Even for a second
What it felt like to be loved
Even if the love was cheap
And it tasted like ***
Like the punchline to a joke
I never got because it was me

I let different boys have different parts of me
Parts they didn't deserve
But I offered up willingly because I couldn't give anything else
after you broke me
I was looking for different fingers
to place different pieces and hoping  the outcome
would be a masterpiece
Maybe one of them would find a way
to cover up the handprints you left all over me

I let different boys touch me because I had to prove to myself
you wouldn't be the only one
that these scars marking my body wouldn't define
my worth to be loved
I am not entirely sure  
you aren't the only one who could ever touch me without slightly  flinching

I let different boys touch me because that is all I have been taught
To be a joke
To be silent
To be ready to give until you have nothing left
- they keep leaving me and I am to scared to offer up anything more than my body to get them to stay
