ouch. that hurt.
we were in love.

you owned my body and i owned yours.
we knew every single thing about eachother.
i was your everything.

our pact meant the world.
the world meant out pact.

when you stopped loving me;
wait when was that again?
(something i will never know)

that day i became,
someone that walked past you in the hall,
someone who had to say sorry when they bumped you,
someone who had to walk out of a room when you walked in,
someone who didn't talk to you again,
someone who meant nothing.

i became a stranger.

last year's worn out sweater
and birthday gift cards frame the scene
four eyes dejected marbles

but did you even notice that my hair is
different today?

Truth be told
We walk pass each other without a single word.
Stubborn to the presence of each other.
Yet we look with secrecy, afraid to be noticed.
Terrified of becoming strangers.
Unknowingly judged by thought itself.
The grief of lips unspoken. The sudden appearance of a familiar feeling.
Afraid to speak, the sudden urge of hey.
Today but one of a million.
Disguised as a single moment
We but two people lost in the same moment.
Yet nothing is familiar.
The distance between us grows.
Truth be told
I miss you and can never tell you
While today is but one of a million more
That I moved my mouth
But nothing came out
Normally, it's easier to open up to strangers

Unfamiliar familiar stranger.

Pierce through me like a plane through the ghostly clouds.
Dark echos of your laughter overcame my simple glass of white wine.
Are you gonna cry? Are you gonna whine?
You smile so soberly as drunken nights flash through your tormented mind!
Honey, we have all the time in the world.
You're drunk.
Oh ****!
This is it, isnt it?
I can't wait to see you.
And I swear to god, I cant wait to beat you,
In this game you call love!
Get down, get down, run for cover.
We both know we werent there for each other.
(At all! I was just a doll to you.)
Defeating yourself at your own game is such a waste of time and space.
****, but if I were you, I'd do the ******* same.
Despise popular belief, there are no rules to this game.
Unrelated twins, we know how this ends.
Similar in wits, but we both want to win.
You smile so evilly as triumphant days flash through your tormented brain.
You weren't always this kind.
Darling, what have you?
Darling, have you kept track of time?
Midnight is already daylight.
You always know my type of fight!
Oh ****!
This is it, isnt it?

Please, please throw away your keys to my heart.
Leave them in the dark.
As Im writing this, im dreaming about your cherry lips.
Your firm grip on me.
I want you to hold me.
Baby, just leave me be.

If only i could outsmart the outsmarting.
Youre ******* ****!
If i didnt know any better id be talking to a mirror.
Youre too ******* familiar.
Or maybe youre just a stranger in my bed,
but id know you from anywhere without even looking at your head.
Unfamiliar familiar stranger.
This is it, isnt it?
Im still the only one sleeping in our bed.
a song about two people who don't know how to love each other, or themselves.

You came to me like a stranger in the night
Alone left with my thoughts and emotions
You arose from the dark
Pulling me into your snare

I had gone so long without you
But your embrace of death constricted
Reminding me of the time
Keeping me in your clutches

I had struck you down
I had pushed you away forever
We still haven’t yet met again
A shadow of a past eternity

Your music haunts my ears
And steals my soul
A staccato whimpering glow
The audience claps
Ovation
Relax
The show's over now
Go home to danger
And commune with your total stranger
Everyone is putting on a show, whether they mean to or not
Amanda Kay Burke Mar 2019
To naively trust your playful smile
Is throwing all sense up in the air
Should be more wary of strangers
Of the danger I am aware

No reason not to trust your hand
Yet no reason why I should
Don't even know each other
This can't lead anywhere good
I am usually not a one-night stand kind of girl
Mystic Ink Plus Mar 2019
One will cross by
Many masks
Who will let us realize
What, love is not

Until, the one
When one truly believes
What love is

Life
One deserves

the same water
that burns me to oblivion,
restores my aching bones
the same hands that
strangle my neck,
caress me when my eyes close
the same body
that once was a stranger,
now feels like home
Madison Greene Mar 2019
If there comes a day where you decide to strip yourself of the past
to dust off your worn out clothes and start again
If you move to a new city and meet a stranger with eyes like the desert at night
I hope you never grow out of the faint hope we always held close
I want you to know I left my heart in the same city we fell apart and I never stopped wishing you'd come back for it
It's still waiting to be found by you
