005Ouch. That one actually hurt.

But maybe there's a reason
that you wore stilettos
when you stepped on my heart.
009Your tongue dances behind your lips,
praying for a miracle –
a wish forbidden to come true.

Caged memories fade away…
not that you would miss them.
You left my grasp long ago.

Now, anything that happens is completely
your fault.
The Only OneI used to think that I was
A

E
It was me and the moon and the stars and the sky
People
came
and
people
went

We basked in each other's company
Because not often did loneliness --leave us--
Even still, that next morning, loneliness
Stood next to me
There was no you
There was no 'us'
There was just

...me...

I walked
and walked
and walked

over
and over
and over

But... Y.O.U.

Why Do We Love?I wonder sometimes
how things would be different had I
kissed you then.

Would we be walking |hand|in|hand|
through the park?
Would we be making memories right now?

I'll never know,
because they were right;
I do regret it.

I wish, now that I had kissed you
when you gave me the chance,
so I wouldn't be sitting here thinking how it'd be different.

When I look at you, when I'm with you,
I'm happy...
an emotion hard to come by these days.

Every time we hang out,
I think about how I ruined our friendship then.
Once something is |b|r|o|k|e|n|, it can never be completely f-i-x-e-d.

But I don't think you do.
You said your part: "Let
Isolation.You began walking,
expecting me to follow...
but I'm still hung up on the past.

Did you even realize I wasn't by your side?
Or maybe you just didn't care.

I'm still here -
I've not moved an inch.

Which one of us is lonely?
007 Accusations upon accusations
[when will the hatred end?]
I don't quite know what happened
between us... we used to be such
good friends.
Now... who have you become?
A misfit among misfits?
I wonder if we might try this again.
Start with a smile; we don't want to rush.
The frown remains...

I remember when she smiled a lot.
We'd laugh and play like no tomorrow...
with inside jokes and secrets no one knew.

So, then, what say you, mirror?
Think I can make amends
with the girl who stare from your other side?
Between the LinesYou dare think
you can use me.
It's not like
you can just throw me away.

I won't stick around just so
you can hurt me.
I'll be long gone, so don't think
I'll still be here when you come back.

I've been through hell, but not
Just to see your face.
I'm stronger than this; it's not like
I need you to help me stand.
Always.Trash.
Recycled.

Unwanted.

Second place
in a race I never wanted to join.
002Makeshift memories cloud your heart.
One touch would fade away
like a scream in the night.
But would you even know?
You've shut yourself away from society
so you very existence is a secret
even to yourself.

You live in fear of the world.
You've been trampled, run over, hurt
more times than you could count.
At the chance it would happen again, you shut in your heart.

Trust? You know not of the world.
Taken advantage of, beaten, and left in the dust,
you cast the word away, like you cast the world away.

Like you cast me away.
My Worst FearIf only "lonliness" was just
a means to an end...
I'm Surprised it's Been this LongSometimes the strongest people you know
are the ones who others view as "weak".
Because this is True LoveI wish I could forget...
That star is too far out of reach...

Your screams fade into the night - lost
like ships out at sea.

My dreams are far too painful...
Maybe I'll wake up someday...

But I'm right here.
I'll stay by your side.

Why can't the memories fade away?
This used to be easier...

Love hurts.
but life does not wait -

A flicker of hope...
But it's just my imagination.

- nor does time -
for a man with a shattered heart.
008You think you know pain...

Try living a lie.

You think this is as bad as it gets...

Step in my shoes for ten seconds - you'll change your mind.

You think you're worse than me.

I wish I knew someone who was.

So confused...

But you're smart enough.

So out of it...

But I'm further gone.

You feel so in-the-dark, when really,

You're completely in the light,

Whereas I'm

Forever in the darkness.
006Your shadow whispers lies into you
as it dances around you - day by day.
You shut out the world
because it shut you out.

You're a spiderweb full of trapped memories,
the fading of the past day thin
as the silvery silk of your web
makes your unwanted dream - nightmares, you might call them -
come true.

Hushed voices fill your head - silent as snow.
But to you, they seem like screams of pain...
like lightning in your eyes...
like thunder in your heart.
Broken Spider's ThreadSo many times had I thought
I'm hanging on by a thread.
But now, I've come to realize
that was just a lie.

False hope.

I see, now, that I lost my grip on reality
long ago.
I haven't quite reached insanity yet,
but I'm floating
in the limbo.

You say I'm losing control,
but you've got the wrong tense.
This shouldn't be present tense,
but past tense.
For I've already lost control.

CessationShe hit the ground
before she even knew
she
       was
               falling.
Photographed EyesightI opened my eyes
to see that everything
was crisp, clear.

It was like an image
edited too sharply, so that details
I didn’t wish to see
painfully stood out.

I decided I preferred
my blurred vision,
full of faces that weren’t
and fuzzy green trees with no leaves.
EraserAnd I,
with my winded memories
gasping for breath and clarity,
stand unbeknownst to you
‘til you fade away
and my memories
are without oxygen.
Good MorningPeople say
they don’t like mornings.
I don’t understand that

Morning is watching Tom and Jerry
while the coffee brews.
Morning is a catnap on the couch
as bacon sizzles in the pan.
Morning is too much syrup on pancakes
so there’s some left for the toast to soak up.

I let the dog out
to the blue before dawn,
pour myself a cup of coffee
filling up my Hello Kitty mug
and stir a bit of creamer (French Vanilla)
to give it more flavor.

The sun begins to rise
and my alarm sounds at exactly
6:05.
Groaning, I reach to turn it off
and trudge downstairs
where my mother waits.
“Good morning!” she cheerfully states
[she&rs
Warmth of WinterThe wind whips at my clothes
as desperate to get them off
as I am to keep them on.
I focus on tightly wrapping
them around me when I see
your dimpled smile down
the way.

We walk together, arms linked
because I’d rather keep my
hand buried in my coat
pocket. Then there is the hot
chocolate “shaken, not stirred”
as we settle under a blanket to
watch our favorite movies.

People say winter is cold,
but for him and me,
winter is love.
Silent ScreamsMisguided
Alone
Losing yourself
to memories of love

If a tree falls
and there’s no one to hear it,
does it make a sound?

The Only Wish

:icondreamamongstars:

All she wanted
was for someone to shake their head and say "You're lying"
when she said

"Really; I'm fine."
:icondreamamongstars:
...

Enjoy! :blowkiss:

Thank you for the comment/fave if you do so :heart:

Reminds me of the quote, "One day I hope to find someone who can look past the smiles and lies and be able to say, "No, you're not okay."" ^^
