The shadow of your hand lingers on my skin,
While tire tracks engrave upon the dirt.
The day you left was the day I changed,
The memory of you will never be the same.
I wish you could see the debt you owe,
Her life becomes a mess of
Red lipstick defenses
Red lipstick state of mind
Look but don't see
Look but don't touch
Warmth. Drowsy. Burrowing into your chest, arms around my back.
And then, like a gunshot, shaking. And tears. And disassociation.
Relationships can change like gusts of wind
I know not of what you were thinking then
How did you ever get me oh so pinned
You were changing me again and again
I put on my rose-colored lens
The day I met him
When the “I love you’s” and “You’re my everything’s”
Were clouds covering a dark storm
When we are young, we tend to believe
Everything that people tell us.
We do not form a sense of understanding;
We let people let us
Before, I was in love with a boy
He kissed me when he wanted
And reminded me how beautiful I was
“Because I love you,” he would tell me
My love, you have always been fire and marble—
Intense, eyes flashing, passion written across your body like a fiery Apollo.
Well, your arms are strong as tides,
But you sway her like the wind
You breathe me in like ocean currents,
It has been said that all your cells (with some exceptions) are replaced every seven years.
Every seven years, you are a new person.
I was thirteen years old when he would touch me.
you tell me to play
to play your games
i am not a player
or a gamer
i am a soft natured artist
i like to paint and think
i like to listen to indie and drink
but you ask me to play the game
The moment I met you,
My soul knew to stay away from you,
For it knew you'd be the death of me.
Of course, my heart felt what it did
And I suffered the tragic consequence.
When I was five years old,
I believed the fairytales;
Prince Charming would come save me,
and love could never fail.
I thought that every bad guy
would be easy to see.
They told me it was a bad decision.
I told them I saw good.
They told me he'd be a bad influence.
I told them it'd be the other way around.
They told me he wouldn't treat me right.
I told them he'd changed.
Everything just shattered,
It all went completely wrong.
And no matter how hard I try,
I just can't seem to move on.
It just hurts to let go and nobody gets it.
I'm just so damn tired,
“You can’t, You won’t, You’re not allowed”
We’d fight, I’d scream, I’m scared. You’re loud
“You’ll be lonely, No one will care like I do”
I’m stuck in this trap of fear but I’m lost without you
His lusting hands grip
and weakly protest do I,
I'm not ready, but here it comes
the months endless in which I'l cry
and you'll apologize, but it's not enough
and I'l apologize, but you don't deserve it
I try hiding from the darkness
that your memories hold,
later I embrace it
for it's the reason why I am strong.
I try running from the pain
caused by my own shed blood,
What is this, that falls from my face
This wetness. This pain. This glory.
This confusion. This worry. This scariness.
Silent tears fall
streaming down my face
rushing over your shoulder
and breaking at you from within.
You watched the pain in my eyes
my voice
and my body
We fight and we fuss,
But in me you must trust!
Because you are the one I LOVE?
These are all lies a man will use to get what he wants.
Very sickening thoughts!
DON'T fall for the things he has bought!
She was feeling lonely
lonely so alone
He was horny,
said he'd make her day
She resisted at first,
but she knew him already.
