For me, and most people I've met,
Actions speak louder than words.

But the difference is that words are still deafening.
Especially since I seldom lie.
(exaggerate sometimes but…).

They are my strength or my bane.

The words spoken to me by people I care about stay with me the longest.
Those words you spoke…
Scars on my mind or flowers under my feet.

Never to be forgotten.
Never.
Don't you dare
Let a girl fall asleep thinking
That she is a monster.

She will rip herself apart from the inside out.
before she will trust you again.

If you ever deserve her trust again.
Backing me into a corner–
No way of escaping.
Worth this trouble?
No– not I– but I knew it would turn in this way.
That it would become this,
No matter the original innocence.
My innocence.
Soiled by others' hands and lips who strayed too far.
back me up,
chiding, chastising,
Cornered.
With my trust compromised…
yet i love you even still.
New
and
I couldn't bear to lose you. This
Broken
Body of mine still tries to move forward,
Every day,
Days.
Just like you do with your mind.
I want to let you know I'm proud of you,
With everything you accomplished.
My only wish is that you'd forget all using.
I'm not proud of myself, and am hurt that I can't accomplish what I feel I must do. I've seen you fight for more, and I am glad of that.
I just need to know.
Starting to type out,
Each letter an anguish to remember
To think of
To feel.
Then again
Thoughts of those silent crying nights
Feelings of those words sliding into my heart
Like daggers.
Wanting to feel, wanting your arms around me
Then i give up on letting you in.

You can't tell me what I need to know
Because I already know your answer.
He was the only one I trusted but he has let go
Colors
Dripping down, down
Mixing with the greys and greens
In your eyes.
I can see the universe…
Uni, one.
What I mean is that
You and I
Together, one,
Would make the colors in my world brighter.
Hold me.
Only one that I
Love.
Don't leave this time when I need you.

Might you
Embrace me once more?
"We're all going to fight tooth and nail to make you feel beautiful again."
Then he forgot about his promise to do so…
You should've known my greatest fear.
Funny, I don't recall you asking me after
All our time.
Time.
Tick tock tick.
Before the clock strikes midnight
I know I will be left alone again.
You
left.
not that I blame you, it was beyond your control.
Now I'm here,
Fighting my demons, again on my own,
Clinging to the hope that
I'm strong. I can get on. This will work out.
as the echoes return.
Drowning out these voices is impossible.
Remembering how your
voice
Was the only thing that calmed them.
…Tears running down my cheeks every hour.

I feel like I will lose…just like I lost you.
I already miss the silences on the phone as we both run out of things to say, but aren't ready to hang up quite yet.
