I ask
you scream
you ask
I ask
lost in translation
between violent words
and distance
is our need for being
together
what we always wanted
can never possibly be
you are who you are
and I am
me

Thank god
I can look back
And laugh
In your face

You weren't ever pretty
But rather
You
******

No beauty
Or heart
No character
*******

I don't know why
I ever loved you
Cause oh *******
I made a mistake

~With trepidation I hand you my heart, and with wariness I meet
your gaze, and with guilt I show you my scars~

"i've been burned
before
cut and crushed
in the past
my heart
has stopped
over
and over
only to be
shocked
back to life.
"beaten
and bruised
battered
and worn
i am resilient
but god
i am tired.
"i long
to love
again
to feel
-something-
again
but god
i don't know
if i can"
While writing this, I picture myself as a small six-year old girl, out in the middle of a thunderstorm, drenched beyond belief, holding a wilted marigold.

I had no idea
That tasting you
Your lips
Would turn me
That a new world
Would appear
And you would take,
Take me down
And I would never,
Ever come back
Drowned in you
The depth of your soul
The beautiful chasm
Between your thighs
Your thick voice
Warmed my heart
And I would always,
Always remember that

Think I'm bulletproof
A thick skin and paper heart
But, I'm the reverse

Here lies the love we let pass away
I put forth my all, it was not enough for it to stay
My heart is mourning, oh how hard I tried!
Although I struggled to save it, our love still died.
It takes two to make a relationship work

I want to feel sun again
I am tired of the pouring rain
I do not deserve to live my life like this
In the presence of this constant pain

I have given everything to you
Trust, mind, body, heart, and soul
Although you cannot see it
Inside me is a gaping hole

Never will I fall for anyone
As hard as I fell for you
You took the innocent part of me
That wasn't afraid to love and lose too

Can't you see how hard I am trying?
Look at the sacrifices I have made
You have given up nothing for me
That does not seem like a very fair trade

I am not the only one with flaws
And the way you are acting proves it
You said I was immature
I think you are a hypocrite

It sounds as if all you care about
Is what's best for you and your routine
Do you ever think of anyone?
Anyone besides yourself I mean

You know goodbye has not been easy for me
I am just trying to express how I feel
So sick of watching you be okay
And treating this like it is not a big deal

Ignoring me will not force me away
It just makes me confused and worn out
And I worry that I am wasting my time
On an "us" you care nothing about

I long to be appreciated
Want one person who will love me back
Not someone who cannot be with me
Unless I get my life on the right track

Something invisible keeps me here
I do not know why I cannot let go
I am in too deep to walk away
Loving you is harder than you know
Baby don't talk to me, I'm trying to let go,
Not loving you is harder than you know.
