I learned to be stronger
I am better by far
By leaving your orbit
with nary a scar

I'm a better man for it
I'm glad that we met
But, I'm thankful for all
that I lost on the bet

I want to say thank you
For coming into my life
Because now that you're missing
I have found a new wife
If I had not met you
I'd have gone on a course
That might not have ended
With our resulting divorce

I am stronger and nicer
I now know how to share
I do things without asking
And I know to be fair

That I have to say thank you
Because if we were still one
I'm sure that I'd have gone
and ****** on a gun

I want to say thank you
For coming into my life
Because now that you're missing
I have found a new wife
If I had not met you
I'd have gone on a course
That might not have ended
With our resulting divorce

I just had to say this
Thank you for the time
I am now very happy
And have been a long time

I'm a much better person
Than I was when with you
So I feel it is fair
That I tell you thank you

I want to say thank you
For coming into my life
Because now that you're missing
I have found a new wife
If I had not met you
I'd have gone on a course
That might not have ended
With our resulting divorce
Inspiration for this was from Randy Newman and his song thanking his ex-wife.

I noticed a small scar on my German teacher's elbow today
It called to me, reeled me in, filled my senses
It whispered of days and nights thought long-gone
When any sharp object in reach would do
When any little remark or joke or situation would set me off
It whispered of the sound of skin parting
And the bite of metal
And the eureka! of blood
And the taste of satisfaction
It whispered of the moment of peace
Tranquillity
When everything becomes nothing
And pain becomes everything
And nothing is painful

Then I remembered the tears of my mother
The horror in my friends' eyes
The shame I felt
The bitterness before each guilty slice
The stubbornness inside me screaming don't let it win!
The worry they feel
The pain I cause them
By causing pain to myself
And I return to reality
And she is still talking
Oblivious to my dip into darkness

I have won the battle
But the war will not be over for a long, long time

Ten seconds of hurtful words can do damage for a lifetime
Hurtful words damage !!

I'll love you,
even with all the scars you bare.

{ E.I }
Disfigurement
to a one time pretty boy
is like
finding out that I'm positive all over again
a tower of rubble
to the chest
another death sentence rolled out
just in time for the new year
a new contagion of scar tissue
and self-doubt
self-loathing and your disgust
turning me away in the rain
and if it hadn't been you
it will eventually be a whole line of others
whom no longer wish to sample
this drama queen's merchandise
of defilement
and raw pain

With restless angst I poke and pry
Your brothers blind stand idly by
Veiled hate? Bad place? No reason why
Felt no surprise when you said die

Head in hands don't even cry
From the room you quickly fly
Red hands; caught; my own blood dye
And still I form an alibi

You suffered then, well so did I
You suffered more I won't deny
No one knows while I live the lie
Why you felt you must say die

Displeasing scar to shameful eye
Down I fall from horse on high
Plans ruined; dreams break; I'm the reason why
You felt the need to say die.

"You're making this hard for the both of us!" He shouted.
"Making it hard? I'm making it easy," She turns around. Tears streaming down her face. "Leave me." She whispered.
The rise and fall of their chest. The way the wind blew through window curtains and the way they stand distant from each other. It's a moment they share in pain and passion.
"I don't want to ruin you," She says in stifle sobs.
"Baby, you already did," He took one step forward. "The moment I touch you, I know I was done for."
An excerpt from the story I'm writing :D

The sweetness of honey.
The coolness of breeze.
The death in your eyes
Doesn't scare me.
The bright light is gone.
Its dark in the skys.
The scar on your face.
The black gloomy night .
I'm here now and then.
The blood in your hand.
The light in the dark
Has gone back to dim.
And now that you know
That one life is gone.
You turn and you flee.
Your mission is done.
Miranda Renea Mar 2015
I put a hole in my lip
For every hollow kiss
And a hole in my nose
For every wilted rose.

I fill my skin with ink,
Leaves less room for scars.
If only I gave a ****
About lungs full of tar.
