Rope

It wasn’t yours to take, but neverless you ripped it from my grasp

I held on to it with my life

My innocence the last thing keeping me together

I held it like rope

Even though the rope was on fire

It was my rope

You took it from me

You were the one who ripped away the thing that made me, me

You took it with no shame

No guilt

My hands stopped burning

But I lost everything...

Psycho

It wasn’t yours to take,

but nevertheless

you ripped it from my grasp.

This is what you wanted right?

A swift kick in the ass?

You’re keeping my sanity

as a keepsake.

How cute.

Just know that my shame

went along with it too.

So, don’t be surprised

at what I choose to do…


SURPRISE MUTHAF***A

That’s right I see you :)


You thought you got away

but I’m in your rear view

running full speed ...

Mine

It wasn’t yours to take but nevertheless you ripped it from my grasp

I tried not to cry as it fell from my hands

Memories

I know I’m making memories,

But they flash bye so fast.

I can’t keep up with

This world anymore.

I’m falling down and being passed by,

everyone else speeding up.

Why can’t I just keep up.

I really can’t do anything

With the feeling of pain and suffering

in my mind and in my chest.

Almost everything I touch will be

ruined and turned into dust.

I’ll cry on the race track of my life

And sit on the pa...

Give It Over!

It wasn't yours to take, but nevertheless you ripped it from my grasp

ran off like nothing happened

as if my trust was meant for you...

Just Clarifying

Just clarifying


If I have an opinion I’m picky

But if I don’t I’m lame

If I share my opinion I’m a brat

But if I don’t I’m fake


That sound right?

 Gasoline

It wasn’t yours to take,

But nevertheless,

You ripped it from my grasp.


It wasn’t your choice to make,

But like always,

I’ll have the last laugh.


I’m the little girl lost,

But I’ll pay the cost.

It’s not your battle to win or lose.


But you love trying,

Always prying,

Leave it up to me to choose.


I’ve wasted time,

Waiting in line,

But it’s all over now.


When it said and done,

I’ll be t...

I’m Not Sorry

(Not the prompt)


I’m not sorry I met you.

I don’t regret being with you.

I’m not ashamed that I loved you.

Because I did.

Please don’t think otherwise.

I did love you,

It wasn’t fake.

You were my world,

My light,

My color.

You were everything to me,

And I’m not sorry.


Just as I’m not sorry I ended it.

We were failing,

We were breaking apart.

You were hurting,

I was hurting.

I was hurting you.

We...

i’m left alone

with never ending

i am so

physically

but my lord,

my personal hell,

did you squeeze

your way

into my pretty

brain.

in your young adult mind.

Heart

I saved it for another,

Not knowing if he would even bother.

But instead you ripped it from my hands,

And beat it as much as you can.

Now my heart is in pieces but that’s fine,

He never wanted it anyway....
