I hold my breath hoping,
A bottle cap hits the floor,
Hope lost,
Bolt the door.

I hide,
Cower and Pray.
You find,
Coward and Prey.
I Shake.
You Sway.
All this I can't take.
But you always want to play.

If you can't back it up
Don't say you'll bash me
Whilst cowering behind your mates
So man on up, and we'll see

Throwing insults at me
When I'm ******* **** gets ugly
I walk away to save you pain
You try but you can't dominate me!

If I approach you, you run away
If I turn my head you flinch
You back away, eyes wide
Stop being a ******* *****!

If you've got a problem
Then step on up and show me
Until then, shut the **** up
Because fighting ain't that pretty
subpar star May 2016
and all the pain you felt when it was over
made you realize that
god was dead, and
hell was real,
so why bother anymore?
you taught yourself
how to feel nothing at all,
and thats when you discovered
that it was easier to exist
when reality was altered,
and your hands didnt shake so much
when you were holding onto a lighter
for dear life.
and jesus christ you wanted
to light yourself on fire,
just to feel something
other than this sadness,
but you're a coward,
so you settled for your
fifth cigarette in 3 hours

Something with fate and the day it was sealed. Go back to a time where I could have changed his life and he could have changed mine. The day when I saw him standing alone. I was a coward. Still am.

I might compare ourselves with the tides in the sea,
though this might go farout.
A single roller comes splasing into the land
but just for a minute or so,
because by  then, the waves slowly ebb back into the ocean
to be in its original form.
Twin yellow stripes;
ride down his back.
So he keeps on driving down
the track.
with ever increasing speed,
from an ever-growing need.

Cash in hand,
Soul ******* in the back.
on an aimless ride.
through the ever-present
prescient present.

Goodnight,
That's all I said,
Because fear was stronger than my mind's might...
For in reality, I wished to be in your bed.

Relax, ***** minded beauty,
I wished you were sound asleep in my arms...
Because I knew when you're sleeping you'd be more than a cutie
And the comfort of my arms would keep you out of the way of Harm's.

I was so desperate to cuddle with you,
To close the distance that's making me blue,
That I was contemplating pulling a Romeo:
Climbing up your balcony just to serenade you.

But I guess I was too scared,
That you'd be surprised by how much I cared.
I hope I can one day tell her this, but for now, it's too soon, I know she'd be alarmed... Actually I'm not sure, but I just need to rid my heart of this guilt.

-just being honest
I continue loving you from a distance,
That one chance you had, you missed it.

You lit the flame, I ignited it, so I'm the one who's to blame.

I let you in, tried to open you up, while knowing what I was getting involved in...

You cut me off when I needed you most, tried to warm your heart, when I saw you were cold,
we've grown so close became vulnerable.

"I should have known."

Now I'm here, with my heart strings bleeding , because you cut them by leaving.

Right when I needed...
I pleaded...
But you're cowardly conceited...

You're afraid of love,
I can see it in your eyes,
"Don't look away."
No need to masquerade,
I see it through your cold disguise,
"Please be brave."
I know you want it,
you're suppressing it like I.

A part of me already knew you would do something like this...
I didn't want to believe that it was true.
Why would you start pretending I never existed?
"Just like I predicted."
You dismissed it,
Instead of trying to fix this.
Old song I wrote several months ago...

you coward - tell me to my face
"I loved you with everything I had"
thoughts of you corrode my brain
the vines slither and grow; the overgrowth over takes my mind
your name taste like acid
your apologies leave five lines burning red across my cheek
sorry - Sorry - SORRY
are you?
memories of that word run marathons through a looking glass
I cry looking at my reflection
remembering your fingers on my skin
flashbacks of that touch make my body temperature plummet -
you were the best and the worst - at the same time.
and you come crawling back like the greens in my head
trying for who we were to return like the undead
salty sobs spill from my sparkling eyes
crying tears of wishing not to miss you
forgiveness hangs by her nails on the tip of my tongue
waiting to fall into your grasp
your claws pawing at her dangling feet
but she won't fall for you
not again
