You looked at me with sunset eyes
Teeming with an ocean’s depth
Waves were crashing down your cheeks
Tears you should have never wept
And I heard a sound I’ll not forget
The slamming front door as you left
In shock I waited as tragedy unfurled
Denial settled into the silence of my world
Without a glance or shallow sigh
You left me here with no goodbye
But in my heart there grew an ache
A pain that, most nights, keeps me awake
And now I finally realize
What I saw in those shining eyes
Not the sunset; the sunrise
So this was never a goodbye
No…
This was letting go.
And now I’m coming back.
the receipts are always inaccurate.
the ink runs in four directions and the machine makes thinking near impossible, but mindless work is good for the ill minded. coins clinking and cogs turning has a magic of its own, and bruised fingers learn to type at an inhuman pace to pass the time. her job is nonspecific; she has frizzy hair and never smiles, but she shows up for work on time, and that's enough for her.
armed with a name tag and a blank face, each day she stands in line to get the same order. black coffee and a piece of bread, lightly toasted. the coffee is always stale, and she never eats the bread, but she can never bring herself to
A liar
Someone who stabs you in the back
Hate! Such fury!
Someone who doesn't let you be
Who hurts you and causes you pain
It burns in your heart
Tears flow
Because you've been let down
He lied, it's not her fault
Why, god damn-it!?
I want to hurt him back
This isn't fair, it's not okay
He should suffer too
Just the same as he hurt me
It aches
Cute they say, adorable they call them
I'm jealous, I admit it
I am envious
I want her back
I want him back
How do they deserve each other
And I get no one
God damn-it he lied God damn-it!
It hurts like fire
like poison setting into my skin
And brain and heart
Why?!
What did I
When I woke up this morning
I was happy and warm
Now I'm the opposite
In a frozen prison, crying
I'm not sure I'll ever
Forgive him
My heart says two things
He's a lying git, or he's one of my only friends
Yes he took her
Yes he hurt you
Yes he cannot be a man
Yes you're going to cry
He told me I was a moon
That I was sunning
How gorgeous I can be
As long as I smile
Moons can glisten and shimmer
Next to the stars
Or the moon can shine bold
Colors of red and orange
Big or small
Hopefully he'll keep that ideal
I'm the moon of the man
I picked up the pencil
I wanted to tell him
To tell him to
Go away and that we weren't good for each other
Because we would never make it through the summer before college
We wouldn't make it
And he came up to me
The blood in my skull started to pound and hurt
I wanted him to go away forever
After what happened
He opened his mouth
The words flew out into the cold air
"We're through
All done, get it"
Well that wasn't so hard now
Never thought you'd be the one to change me
Never thought I'd be the one to back down
Stand my ground
Never thought I'd hide behind a face
Out of place
I'm constantly thinking,
I'm watching you sink down under
all the trouble you caused
Why won't you save yourself?
And I, I am just your broken doll
Null and void
And I, I am just your decoy
Nothing at all
I am just your broken doll
Null and void
Always knew I'd become just like you
Always knew you'd become a drinker not sober
Tell me it's over
Always knew you would lose your mind
From booze and time
You're an addict,
and the convict straight fr
