The dream is over
The years and the moments are all that remain
Thought it hurts there wont be more, I shouldn't complain
Pieces and fragments are still better than losing it all
Watching the cracks in my world as it all starts to fall
Should have and could haves abound and taunt me
And now the thoughts of what never could be
How clear its become only way too late
You told me how you felt and I refused to relate
Now its my turn to know how you felt for so long
And to see how ignoring it feels so wrong
Cant make ammends cuz we're past that point

The Job Interview
She sat in her chair fidgeting. She sized up the room and saw the men looking poised and confident. She wondered why she was there. She had done her research and knew that there had never been a woman hired for the position she was there to interview for. Thoughts of doubt flooded her mind. It was pointless. Its not that she wasn't qualified. Qualification was one thing that she wasn't lacking. Years of putting in her dues had paid off in that regard. This was a man's world. Although she had found her place, it was a place that those men were comfortable with. This was different. She was...

The in between
The darkness is closing in
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you

Again
The sadness rushes over me like being caught in the undertow
As I look in the eyes of someone i barely know
My best friend, my partner, my other half, my soul is gone
I am stuck in a chamber of torture as I watch her move on
I scream internally as my heart dies a slow death
Unwilling to accept that our love has taken its last breath
All the moments I should have cherished play out in my mind
As she turns her back and leaves me behind
This coldness I feel from her is impossible to comprehend
I tore down my walls for a...

Living the lie doesnt make it the truth
Why can't i get this feeling of emptiness to go away?
Why do i feel disappointed that i woke up every day?
Just another day of hating myself and putting up a front
Like im fine and nothings bothering me, my self esteem is taking the brunt
I know that Im worthless so how could anyone want me?
I can never become the person they'd want me to be
Constantly second and third guessing myself makes me act so erratic
My thoughts are so disjointed that it all just seems like static
Constant barrage of "you're not shit",...

Looking for my smile
How can i explain these feelings in my head?
How can you express the feeling of being beyond dead?
Theres butterflies in my stomach and a tingling in my chest
The physical manifestation of everything Ive repressed
Voices taunting me nonstop in my mind
Everyone moving ahead and im being left behind
I go between complete and total numbness
And being overwhelmied with my emotions who does this?
Extreme happiness and elation
Always give way to complete devastation
I want someone to hold, someone to talk to ...
