Submissions by outtheinside (uniquely_ordinary)

A heart once black and frozen,
numb to the world,
Cold to the touch,
began to beat again
when my eyes met yours.
The warmth of your soul melted me;
my cheeks bloom and my mind
opens to the thought of you.
A love so pure once seemed so counterfeit
but you make the make believe come true
right before my eyes.
I get butterflies every time you walk by
My heart beats faster with every touch.
A kiss that makes your leg lift.

The kind of love you wish for
on a shooting star.. 11:11
came true for once in my life,...

My imperfections are visible
even to a blind eye.
I am covered in insecurities
Soaked in betrayal
lathered up with lies
put on a pedestal
and told not to cry.

You must wear your pain like a ballroom gown.
Use your tears to cleanse your broken heart
but never let them see you frown.
Take the lies, as a guide to see the truth.
Understand betrayal
means the only person to trust is you.

These cuts, burns and bruises
they heal over time,
but this emotional turmoil
still lingers in my mind.
I look at myself in the mirror
and I wonder how did I get here?
When did that happy loving girl leave?
Misery set in, It befriended me.
Lonely became the only thing I knew.
As I sit back
and I look at the bigger picture.
I then realize all the signs,
they were right there in front of me,
I must have been dumb and blind.
Timid young girl so eager to be loved,
jumped to the first man to show attention.
He knew...

You tried to mold me, change me
adjust me in a way that fits your best interest.
That didn't work.
So you got angry,
Controlling.
Isolated me with fights, arguments
and intimidation.
" You are nothing without me"
" I make you whole "
" You had no one til i came in the picture"
I believed you.
And piece by piece,
day by day,
month by month,
year by year,
you ripped every piece of me apart
until I couldn't even recognize the women
standing in front of the mirror.
I now hate the mirror. ...
