Salty tears

I taste them on my lips

They burn in my eyes

And press into my heart

Salty tears

Run down my terrible face

From the depths of my aching soul

Down my chin

Dripping

Blurring the world

From sight

Sickly sweet anger

Only lasts so long

But wait a little while

And the salty tears will come

Flooding my body like a river

Rattling around my empty chest

That my heart has abandoned

Once the s...

Every day I think you love me a little less

You say your love is unconditional

But I know it must be taking a toll

The late nights

Stupid fights

The crying…

Our love is dying

You’re at the end of a rope

Pulling me up

But the rope is fraying

Your trying

Trying

Trying

But the weight that sits on my chest

Is too heavy

It’s not you

It’s not you

It’s not you

It’s me

And god I love you

And you’re ev...

We are right together

But for all the wrong reasons

I will spend forever in your arms

Even if it means the world burns around us

If you hold me

If you whisper in my ear

That you love me

Than it won’t matter what the rest of time

Will bring

Because at least for now

I am with the one I love

Even if it means the world burns around us

I will gaze into your eyes

And ignore the reflection

Of my future ...

They say forgiveness is a virtue, but I’d rather keep my anger

For without my anger, all I have is sadness

And though my fury burns my heart

Leaving scorch marks in its path

Despair is a tsunami inside me

Flooding everything it can reach

It sinks down to my toes

And crashes through my mind

I’d rather burn from anger

Than drown in sadness...

A rose as red as the blood

Pricked from your finger

On her thorns

A bud so small it goes unnoticed

So many in awe of the garden of flowers

But on her they never focus

The sweetest scent never to be smelled

Petals so soft and smooth yet never touched

Her innermost beauty she withheld

For fear of being crushed

Afraid they’ll pick her for her loveliness

And toss her aside for her thorns

She believ...
