Damaged
Tiffany Aug 2018
I am damaged
I am broken
You can't save me from this hell

My mind, weak
My heart's not strong
I know that you can tell

Please believe me
I want help now
I am who you want to save

But you can't save me
I am damaged
I am not ready to be brave

My heart yearns for an ending
To this everlasting torment
But the truth here is
You can't save what's already gone

There is no end
There is no light
There is only this darkness
Only this night

Save me
I scream
I am lost

I am damaged
I am broken
My heart weighs on my chest

I am damaged
I am broken
Not worth saving
Now
To rest

Across
Tiffany Aug 2018
I've found my road
found my stride
Now it's time I let
the fates decide

I don't know where
I'll go from here
But please don't worry
For I do not fear

So fate will take me
down this road
Or across the street
Lest I explode

I am stronger
then before
But this road is long
and a new street's so pure

So across I'll go
maybe down one day
This war isn't over
I've just entered the fray

You'd never know
how long I can drown
But how would you
when you've never seen me frown

Street So New
Tiffany Aug 2018
I've walked across
this street so new
Walked across,
away from you

My heart is scarred
which makes it strong
Now I know
just where I belong

The street is empty,
so full of hope
But it leads to darkness
and a hanging rope

I've left your side
to take this path
to let it all go
to fuel my wrath

Now it's your turn
to let me go
to let me fall
This is all I know

I've crossed this street
many times before
This one and another
too many times, I'm sure.

I know where this leads
That truth I cannot hide
I've opened this door
I've stepped outside

So across the street
or down the road
I'll take this path
Leave me alone

Across the Street
Tiffany Aug 2018
As I walk
Across the street
I walk to things
I dare to meet

A new beginning
A better end
Another obstacle
To transcend

As I walk
Across the street
To turn to things
I dare not speak

A brighter home
A brighter day
Though dark will never
Fade away

Do I make
that final turn
Will I fly?
Or crash and burn?

Fly across
To the brighter side
But nothing will make
My heart decide

Only YOU
will make that choice
YOUR kind soul
and gentle voice

Will I stay
On this side with YOU
Or cross the road
To something new

But without YOU
I face defeat
So hold me back
For I am weak

For new is good
Brighter and true
New is love
New is YOU

Now down this road
Is where I'll go
Without YOUR love
I'll end below

But if I walk
Down the road
I head into
A world unknown

The Streets are Full
Tiffany Aug 2018
The streets are full
Nowhere to hide
So down the road
I might decide

This new beginning
Has better ends
But there are too many obstacles
To transcend

Down the road
Is where this leads
To the unknown
Should I succeed

But as the street clears
And fills again
I see my will
Begin to bend

Do I wait
On this side with you
No, I cross the road
To something new

But new is scary
New is dark
New is where
I lose my heart

Your love can't keep
Me here for long
Although you try
I fear I am not wrong

My heart is breaking
If that's what I feel
My world is ending
It must be real

So take my hand
Pull me away
I don't want to go
But I fear I cannot stay

It all has changed
It all is new
It all is scary
It's because of you

You changed my world
You changed it all
You took my heart
I caused this fall

So I fear I can't wait
On this side with you
I fear I'll travel down the road
To something far too new

The Streets Go On
Tiffany Aug 2018
There is no end
To this long road
Down these streets
I walk alone

They're broken and damaged
But it's the only way
To breathe and to smile
This is the price I must pay

I can't wait
On this side for long
I know that now
I know I was wrong

The street is long
This I have willed
The street has no end
It cannot be filled

So I keep crossing
Believing this is right
Across the street
Is the only light

Sure there is you
You hold me back
But you cannot stop me
If it's will that I lack

I will not lead
Down the dark road
Down something new
Something unknown

So cross with me
Hold me tight
See me through
This unending night

So I'll cross the street
Fill it too
Never down the road
That I cannot do

But if the time comes
And I must decide
Let me go
For I will not hide

Down this road
Will be the last test
In this dark world
The final quest

So love me now
Hold me dear
For I cannot breathe
I'm full of fear

Across the street
Or down the road
No longer are they
A world unknown

So the street goes on
And I must, too
I'll fill the roads
If only to breathe like you

This Isn't Beautiful
Tiffany Aug 2018
This isn't beautiful
This is not brave
It's ugly and damaged
It leads to my grave

You mimic and mock
You think that it's cool
But all you're doing
Is proving you're a fool

This isn't some cure
To save you from life
It's death and destruction
Never-ending strife

These cuts are not for you
To reach you this way
These cuts are for me
To go through the day

You start this now
To you it's a game
But what sick point is there
When your goal is to maim

You called me brave
That's something I am not
So crawl back to hell
And leave me to rot

I called you my friend
But you don't fit the description
A real friend understands
Yet you mock this addiction

This isn't something cool
A passing fad
It's torture and pain
To put simple, it's bad

So put down the pin
Leave that to me
You are too blind
You will never see

My Love Exists
Tiffany Aug 2018
My love exists
That I can't deny
So many see it
So many but I

They say in my face
Is where they see
The light inside
You're love for me

But I cannot love
If I cannot feel
So how can I believe
This any of this is real

There is another
He makes me feel
More then you can
But he is not real

You are real
You are here
But you do not understand
You cannot feel my fear

Do I love you
They say I do
But I cannot feel it
Not like you

— The End —
