Sorry
I Don't know how to Apologize
But when I look into your eyes
I realize
I was telling lies
Ignored the truth
Just to feed my own ego
Until It outgrew
My deepest emotions for you
Feeling feeble and non verbal
Scared to look vulnerable
Hear I go
As I muster up the courage to say

I am sorry

I crave all of you
Your beauty
Your ugly
Your insecurity
Your thoughts
Your body

most importantly your longevity...

Know that your written words echo in my soul
They touch my heart and never let go
Leaving fingerprints
evidence that you moved my heart and exposed my deepest emotions
Thank you for sharing your passion
Through your passion I found a voice in my silence, knowing that you have spoken
I need your words like a heartbeat
I pray to never stop breathing
as long as you keep writing

At first his hand prints were soft
Touching me gently, slowly and softly
Then his ego got fed
They became hard
Found strength to swing

My face the target
Swinging and swinging
He hit with a passion

I was his lover and his target
I forgave and he reloaded
Bullets in hands
Shot and my heart he destroyed

My inside pain became seen by many
Bruises and bumps, cut lips and black eyes
They asked why I never left
I told them he took something from me
He took my heart and left me feeling empty
To fill that void I replaced his love with my pain
Some called him an abuser
I called him my lover

To me it was all the same
This piece was written from a woman's point of view. It's not easy to know and hear of stories of woman that have been abused. If you know about someone who has gone through this kind of pain stand up for the voiceless.

Razor cuts deep
Blood pours slow
Leaking to fill up spaces
Inside his body it stayed in empty places
In so much pain
looking for something within to replace it

Taking deep breaths as he inhales
The devil smiles
As he welcomes him to hell
More cuts more pain
No substance within
Mind goes insane

As he feeds his body more pain
Cuts on his arm leaving history
Marking himself just to feel alive
While inside his soul is slowly dying

Yellow green cross
Cross yellow green
Green cross yellow

These words jell like melo
I knew an old fellow
Heart cold like ice
Dark inside and shallow

Goodbyes hurt
Hellos heal
Love burns
Pain kills
Your touch
gives me thrills

I touch you
to make sure this love is real
And my Fingers go numb

let me touch your soul

Read between these lines
To know that you are forever mine
