gone.

The hardest part is you left
with out putting up a fight
leaving me alone
with my tears,
wishing you would come back
and make it right.

Charmer.

If your purpose in life
Is to leave the ones whom you charmed
Hanging
On a line of thorns
Blood
Cold
Dark and numb
Tears can't empty out the feelings
Inside my heart
How is it you can walk away
So effortlessly
And not for one second look back
And say goodbye
Without you
My heart is only left
To cry
Faced down on a floor of
Broken lies
Hugging my knees
Wet warm breath
Dripping down my trembling legs
I can't move
Don't want to move
Breathing becomes
A gift
For the knots in my chest
Paralyze anything that's left.

Broken Frame

+

All I've ever known
Is the day you fade away.
I can feel it coming
From a mile away
Every time I think I'm prepared
I fall right out from under my chair
Please don't leave me
I just don't understand
When all I ever needed was the love
Of a man.
They walk the path of my father
Present in his own self-disorder
And I'd wonder why you had me for your daughter
When all I ever needed was the love from a father
All my insecurities trouble me
Leaving me stranded
Alone
Waiting for my heart to find a home.
They say your family is your core
But for me its been nothing but
A huge sore.
Blisters burst and out come men
Finding me in places I don't even know where to begin.
So the pattern continues and I learn to look within
To find my truth
And the journey of these men
For I am the jagged picture in a busted broken frame.
And all my past lovers
Are nothing but the same.
