I gave my heart to nature
To forget the beauty of your eyes
But i cant help but think of them
When i glance up at the clear blue skies
I spend my days by the water
And it makes it even harder
Because i faced my fear of the rushing waves
During my summer days with you
When the waves are angry and mean
I think about the times i wish i could have unseen
When the water is calm
I think about the love we shared for the world to see
Being one with the trees
With a cold wind chill
Feels like laying in bed with you some nights
When i...

Life
Daddy lost his job
Mama lost her mind
And i just couldn't find the time
How the hell is the mortgage gonna be paid
Ive just been busy trying to get laid
Instead of getting my priorities straight
Now that things are bad
Im losing what i had
My faith my hope and now I'm always sad
The folks are just too old
And I'm way too young
Its time to grow up
Your battle has just begun
t.b

My Star
We use to watch the stars shine and flicker at night
Your eyes shined brighter than the north star
Your smile was a half crescent moon
That lit up the darkest parts of me
I told you that i was a poet
But i could never find the perfect words to describe how much i loved the night sky
Until i looked at you and saw a cluster of constellations in your eyes
You were the most beautiful at your darkest
And thats when i knew you were the missing star in my universe.

Ace of Hearts
Im as strong as an ox
But when i hear your name
Im as weak as glass holding the weight of the world
I am a wild card and you were my ace of hearts
Together we made a house of cards that you took a match to
I lay amongst the ashes
Holding on to all the burning pieces
Burnt flesh and scattered cards
You'll always be my ace of hearts

I lost myself when you left
"You cant keep dancing with the devil and wonder why you're still in hell"
i've learned to tango with him.
And hell feels like home.
The flames seeping into my skin
Feel so much better then the ache in my heart
Ignorance lead me here
Love lead me here
I am now a force to be reckoned with
Theres no good left in me
I gave you my all, you took advantage
I am no longer a sucker for love
I don't look for happy
I look for something to ease the pain
You turned me into a junkie
Using people for the fix
Love wasn't worth this...

I wrote this, and then he left.
You took me on the first date i've ever been on.
I couldnt decide what was more eye catching
You or the stars
I chose you.
First breathless kiss.
And every kiss after that left me gasping for air.
I could happily suffocate if it meant kissing you forever.
You were the first to treat me like i meant something
You won me over with everything you said
In the beginning i was scared
But i let myself fall
For the first time
There is a first time for everything
With you, i had a million firsts and no lasts.
But the one first i...

Forgiveness for love
You left bruises on my neck
You've already been forgiven
But it left a scar on my heart
A little more hidden
The emotional damage
Lead to a downward spiral
Smoking and drinking
The secret has gone viral
A new reputation
Pity and sorrow
I refuse to be a victim
Strength is earned not borrowed
For the sake of love i forgave you
For the sake of me i forgot
You moved on and live happy now
Im still carrying the baggage you brought

Aftermath
But the stars arent as pretty when every one we pointed up at is burning holes in my flesh every day that your gone
Ive screamed your name in my sleep so much that im left with nothing but a mouthful of blood
I write you into every poem i make until my fingers break
I look for you in every crowd until im so dizzy i lose my footing.
Im ruining me with the absence of you

Flesh and Bones
As Jean- Luc Godard wrote
A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end, but not necessarily in that order
My story begins with an end
The puppy love and young heartbreaks i've felt before was nothing compared to the real thing
I have exchanged "i love you's" like cheap candy
I was 16 when i first laid eyes on him
Drunk and googly eyed at the man across the fire
Age was never a big deal for me
Always had a thirst for the older men
And when you said that you had no boundaries
Something stirred inside me at the sound of your voice...

Short and sweet
I hope she sleeps soundly in your bed
All nice and tucked
On the pillow i was biting
Whenever we fucked

On the pillow i was biting

Souless
You touched my soul with dirty hands
Hard to believe its all "Gods Plan"
Tell me this
Why fall in love when its just temporary bliss and bullshit
Its been said you have to fall before you can fly
But i fell and lost my fucking wings
I cannot bare the misery heartbreak brings
My heart cringes at every "i love you" because it only danced when it came from your filthy mouth
The sound of your voice still rings in my ears
Your ghost haunts the hallways of my soul
There is no safe place inside myself
I thought you were my breath of...

Sin
Months of meaningless sex
Just to forget the feel of you for a couple hours
Tasteless kisses and a sparkless touch
I fuck him with the anger that you brought
When we're done i lay there
Full of his sweat and my sin
The absence of you has no problem waltzing back in
I know this will get old soon
He just wont do
Until then
Ill fuck him like its you
Just to forget the feel of you for a couple hours
Tasteless kisses and a sparkless touch
I fuck him with the anger that you brought
When we're done i lay there
Full of his sweat and my sin
The absence of you has no problem waltzing back in
I know this will get old soon
He just wont do
Until then
Ill fuck him like its you
