you ruin me
you verbally beat me with your words
but i embrace you in my arms
i give you all my love
while you push me away
you insult me
but i don't stop
in fact, i give you my heart
i give you my trust
but i get nothing in return
nothing besides hurtful words
nothing besides lies
nothing besides your anger
but i give you nothing but love
nothing but honesty
nothing but positivity
and all you do is hurt me
you break me
you ruin me
so i run
i run as far as i can
i run to get away from your lies
i run to get away from your abuse
because you don't deserve me
you don't deserve any part of me
you don't get my embrace
you don't get my positivity
you don't get my trust
you don't get my honesty
you don't get my heart
you don't get my love
you don't get any of it anymore
because you don't deserve me
and i know that now
so don't come running back to me
because i've already run as far away from you as i can
and i can't run anymore.

All men's fall begin's at home,
Where room's lie cold, all alone,
Within these room's,
Empty and void,
Where lie their feeling's; emotion's toyed,
Beneath their feet lies shattered glass,
Fragments of memories long since past,
Of haunting fear's of smouldering ash,
Of there passion and light that did not last,
Cold wind's blow through the windowed room's,
Which harden all the liquid gloom.

Through the room's, far away,
A glimmer of hope shine's through dismay,
A gland of a better day,
So through the field of glass men tread,
Feeling's bare and oh so red,
A tiresome journey they all do dread,
But a task that must be done.

Men reach out and begin to run,
Light draws in, closer and closer,
Then does fade for a while,
Till men rethink for several mile's,
Of journey once done in future and past,
Blink's to find memories which do last,
Of friend's within those empty room's,
Which once was filled with but gloom,
For mankind will fall, forever alone,
Till a hidden hand pull's them through,
Because together, we strive true,
Through their own journey,
To raise another,
For them to rise and see each other,
In age's past and future's sight,
The cycle begin's to rewrite,
As tale's past from one to another,
A family tie, begins another.

Pay
I've never felt this guilt before.

I might ruin your life.

But you've ruined mine.

You destroyed me.

Yet I feel like I'm the one to blame.

It's your sins, yet they feel like mine.

You always put them on me.

But this time you're gonna pay for them.

So why am I the one carrying the heavy weight?

Im a devastated and dilapidated wreck
With loads of ******* scattered all around
You'll discover no valuable asset in me
Even if you dig through me for hours
Or drill holes inside me with the sharpest and searing tools you've got
You'll only pierce yourself
And end up with a fairly bruised flesh
With throbbing pain
Dust will cloud your vision
Tears will cascade down your eyes
Grime will clog your lungs
You'll gasp and grasp for breath
Filth will settle on the creases of your palms and will make you feel nauseated
But no treasure will you ever be able to unearth
You'll only find yourself slowly submerged under my derelict mess
Before long
You'll become a part of my shattered dominion

Forget my existence
For I am not me
Not who I use to be
Forget who I was
For that person is lost
Forget my existence
As I’m not who you want me to be
Forget my existence
As it’s no longer me

Some people long for stability,
a life of surety.
Not me.
Give me chaos,
havoc,
ruin.
Let me see the darkest dark,
the deepest despair,
the loneliest separation.
Because if all you had was sunshine,
how would you appreciate the glow?
If there was no storm,
how would you know the beauty of the calm?
If there was no sadness,
would happy still be happy?
If we knew no lows,
how would we know when we were high?
So give me all of the chaos,
all of the havoc,
all of the ruin.
And that way I will truly have everything.
Everything.
That way I will live fully.
People that have not had hard times, have not yet lived.

At the first ever show I played
I lost my guitar pick
So I played with my finger, so hard it
Started bleeding
And the girl I had a crush on kissed it and ask,
"Does it feel better?"
And I said,
"No, now you just have blood on your lips"
She laughed it off,
And wrapped gauze around the wound
And the pressure
Reminded me of the first time I got punched in the gut
Which reminded me of pain
Which reminded me in one moment, of how you can ruin everything.
We went out back and lay in the grass
Gazing at stars
And if you squinted hard enough, you could see Mars
And she asked me, will I ever see you again?
And I said of course,
Before getting up, wiping my back, and never seeing her again.

And I guess, I ruined everything.

You know, humans are kind of like sand castles.
If you look from far away, it's perfect
But when you get close enough
You see all the scars, the holes, the impressions of other people

I ask her, after six years
Do you remember me, and I can tell
The outside of her sand castle has been changed
By waves upon waves
But the inside still has a locket with a face of mine
And says yes, but,
No, no, no, no,
Something's different
You're not who you used to be,

Maybe due to the fact that all humans change and have their own independent emotions that can't be controlled by others.

Or maybe, it's just your new jacket.

Tonight I will weep
For before i fall asleep
Thoughts of you endure

My mind was tampered
with, on a false promise of
a love that was sure

Your abrasive words
were a suckerpunch beneath
your veil of allure

You leave us a coarse
effigy of men, who shall
dismantle the pure.
My try at a haiku while keeping to the theme of mistreated women. Every word and action weighs on other people. The heavier they are the more damage is done mentally and physically.
