Ethereal Yet Crestfallen Apr 2018

I have cried
So many times,
Hidden and silent.

I have stared
At nothingness,
Felt my heart breaking.

I have waited
For so many calls
From you that never came.

I have believed
Everything that you said
I guess some weren't true.

I have been left
By you waiting for
The things you said you'd do

I broke my heart again,
Because I thought, finally,
I'll stop being used by you

Looks like I'm gonna have to sleep
Hoping I'll feel less sad when I wake up.

Rock bottom

It took me sinking to rock bottom, to truly appreciate some of the simple beauty in life that we may sometimes take for granted.
Like a friend who supports you, appreciates you and is there for you in the tough times.
They are the people that make life that little bit easier and that bit more enjoyable. Keep them close and always return the favour.

Broken

a broken lover's promise
turns from an act of randomness
into one of normality
as days begin to fade along the edges

bleed me dry in the quiet moments
& take my love for granted...

I'll leave my mark when I'm gone

Resent

I don't care if you scream, or cry, or demand it.
I'm not going to wait on him.

you never bought me flowers

How can I love you
and let you treat my like that
and then make me feel guilty for feeling wronged
you never bought me flowers
until I left you

granted

every time you take her for granted,
you're just teaching her how to live
without you.

no matter how much she loves you, she will eventually get tired of being an option.

Found

the sun god reaches out for me
index finger, a fiery beam
to claim my heart again
for the new day
for today's sunset
for tomorrow's sunrise
pierce the indigo cloak
rip it out through broken ribs
the prison bars asunder
claw it out from me
and make me cling
to dear life
compelled to fight
find in strife
what I lost in comfort

just like

the sky is high and
the wind is cold,
like the oceans wide and blue,

i'm afraid that I'll take you for...
