The winds of change swirl in my life, leaving new breath in my lungs. Is this me? Am I truly free from all your negativity?
My chest burns with something new, love?
Not for you, but for me.
I'm finally free.
i was warned
i'd fall for you.
stay away from him,
they said.
sweetie, he’s bad news.

i laughed it off,
thinking i knew better,
thinking, that this time
would be different.

i always loved a challenge.

three months it took
for my mind
to catch up
with my heart.
by then,
you’d already
moved on.
this one is about the attraction my friends noticed long before I did.

She left and I was free
Free as a bird
Free as a wild herd
Free

She left and I was happy
Happy to chase better things
Happy to stretch my wings
Happy

She left and I was alone.
Alone to do what I please.
Alone to hear the silence at home.
Alone.

She left and I am free.
Free as a bird in a cage.
Free as a man living wage to wage.
Free.

I knew that you planned to leave,
after all my text were left unread,
And you'd stop calling me every night,
it spoke the word you were afraid to,
so I did for you,
asking you why,
what had gone wrong,
And if it was my fault,
but you apologized,
and said it was you,
not me,
which I knew was a lie,
but you just didn't have the heart,
to tell me what we both knew was true.

She ruined me,
Just like the light ruins the darkness of the night.
What she did was tore me apart,
Shattered just like broken glass.
A million tears, a million pieces
Remind me only of the way she kisses,
Or kissed..
God, what a love she had missed..
Maybe she just gave it all away..
I'm definitely not the one in power to say
If that's what she always wanted to have,
Or if she needed to leave because it was that bad.
I don't know...
But my energy is running low
I'm always tired, left with just no hope..
I choose to blame love for leaving people broke.

Sleep pressed instrumentally against my pillow’s slighted bladder 
In its latency my incontinence
Rebounds 

Deep down I wish I’d said a final farewell
To the topography of scabs on his pockmarked 
Couch

You broke me.
But you also left enough space just to keep me hoping
Yes, you broke me.
And I'll never forget the look on your face when I told you I can't keep coping

You ******* broke me.
And it keeps me awake at night
**** it man, it broke me.
Not being able to look in your eye

It broke me.
Always accepting all your excuses
Of course it broke me.
Since all your actions left me with bruises

Did you know the hurt never decreases
The love I gave with my whole heart now shattered into pieces.
And yes, I'm still breaking.
Because a broken heart will forever keep waiting.

Dancing in the spotlight
Was how I envisioned our love,
Forgetting the steps didn't feel right
So I put you above.

I let myself fall,
Just for you to have it all..
So I had to let myself think
Right step, left step,
Couldn't even get the time to blink
Let alone try to accept
That our dance was rhythmless.

Guess I could say that I got lost
Through all the steps that I was taught,
And all the promises you made
Left me wondering if our dance will slowly fade.

The trainer said "let's not give up"
But my mind would get disrupt,
And flood me all about this thinking
That our dance should just keep shrinking.

So now I come here, just to ask
Was this dance used like a mask?
Just to cover all the mess-
Should I have asked for something less ?
Would I be happier? Would it be better?
If we didn't do the dance together,
Cause I'm sitting here, and I don't know
If it's worth continuing the show..
