I'm in love with words
because they are always there for me
when people fail me
                     I can write
when I get stressed
                     I can write
when I don't know how else to express my emotions
                    I can write

I put my heart into my words
everyone of them a tiny piece
of my mind, of my heart

I put my trust into words
words never leave me
words were never rude to me

But those were my words
Your words are different

When I put my trust in them
they failed me
When I let them in my mind and heart
they tore them apart
your words were mean
they were manipulative
they shattered me

I can no longer trust words
the way I used to

Yesterday you were my escape
your skin touching mine
long hot breaths
lingering kisses
sweet pillow talk of the future
and what love is

Today you are what I'm trying to escape
driving my car far and fast
so fast that I am scarring myself
with the music up as loud as it can go
trying to drown out my thoughts
because they are all about you

We are inherently weak
deep down inside
we never feel strong enough
So we tether ourselves
to things we think are strong

We look for the biggest tree to climb
to hold us way up in the sky

But it isn't until the tree starts swaying
That we question if maybe
we shouldn't be so trusting

We forget to test the strength
before we put up our own weight

Leaving us in a great plight
when things don't go right
because we didn't have an escape plan
we trusted what looked to be strength
looks can be deceiving and so can words. The only thing that truly matters is action.

Our relationship took a bullet
It went strait for me
but it wasn't a fatal wound
I didn't get hit in the heart
I was shot in the stomach
You could have saved me
**but instead
you left me to bleed out
I'm not sure which version I like better:
Our relationship took a bullet
It wasn't strait to the heart
You shot me in the stomach
Then left me to bleed out

I dove in
head first
full force

Expecting an Ocean
And discovered a kiddie pool
