Gave up That's enough Do you really want me I thought you just left me So rude I went through I've been trying to reach you But you locked the door before Seems the love we shared was not enough I missed all the joy in us we're broke Don't you really want the fun back up But now I dont really need you back The breeze tells me not to We fell in love when I had something They're not with me now All I believe is that I could restart my life single Not needing no one's help I will gain the power to live alone.

Another Commitment
There's something about a cookie cutter that many people like. How perfect it is, how it's handy and controlling, how it's the regular norm for a normal family. So, they believe, "maybe my kid can be the same". Maybe they can transfer their kids perfectly in life like a cookie cutter can with dough. But in all reality, not everyone fits that cookie cutter mold. So, they are forced, being shoved into the cutter and broken in the process, leaving them perfect but bruised. Then once that dough is baked and life is towards its end, they are thrown away as they aren't perfect like all the rest. They are cracked and crumbled. Though, mom still continues, shoving her little dough boy or girl into the cookie cutter, trying to get a new one perfect since she threw away the last... But alas..this one is different too. In an imaginary world, the mother would have thrown away the cookie cutter and loved the dough the way he or she was.. But instead this is reality, where being cookie cutter perfect is the only option.

Cookie Cutter
When we fall in love we believe that the other person is the one who you were meant to be with; your soulmate, your everything And you believe that this person is what you have been looking for all this time and that it won't ever work with somone else... All these beautiful hopes become nightmares when we realize that everything turns out the opposite of what you most wished for.

The Opposite
“Amanda,” she said, in a bold assertion “We really are the same Person.” Limp in the dew and Wise like a sage, no wound cut No blood shed, yet, There was something this Bandage shut, Something yawning, gaping But I don’t know what… How sad! She’s crying, that Amanda, Shrugging ‘gainst the colic rain And almost lost in the copes-y veranda, Weeping softly on Those concrete flats, wearing “Red Tom’s And” both “Dating Matts” while I saw her fear in that moment, appalling, stalling With soroitous heart, “and fear of falling!” Binding them tightly: “That’s US haha!” How many laughs does a limp spirit draw? —(a disparaged few or none at all…) Still, she writes, “I am so glad” (a huff annoyed From Amanda, distant and sad, that I Can’t tell why “you” ever “joined.”) But this is not my place, a passerby, To pick up trash, inane and lonely, To cast my judgments and inquire—why? To heal the unbroken with words unspoken But scratched on refuse, she may “[heart] you” but refuse you, too The spirit of [heart] in Amanda awoken —(But she refused it, too!) And then be a token Some stranger takes home.
