It was a heart attack the doctors said,Brought on by overwork and too much stress;He was never going to die in bed,It is true, but I would hazard a guessThat this was only part of the real truth,And there was much more to it than they thought.Of course, he wasn't in the flush of youth,And at times seemed a little overwrought,Always burning the candle at both ends.He had been so happy these last few years,But just last wee...

Can you not see, what you do to meYou've taken away all I used to beA fire that once burned so bright Now there's only darkness in the night The tears continue to flow each dayYou persist on pushing us awayA good mom and loving wifeIs all I ever wanted to be in lifeNow I'm angry and unsure Soon I may walk out that doorOur boys no longer careThey want to leave your lairDaddy's little girl will never seeWhat it is you do to...

I feel like a Dali paintingmy image warpedby your own imaginationImperfection of this bodydesecrated with scarscrafted by your own torturous mindTime meltingwinding back to forgotten dayswords spoken and virtual hugs we sharedMemories soon fadelike forging fire into ashwhich you silently blow awayWhat once we hadhas slowly disappearedof a friendship separated by oceans wideThe drawer within my chestwhich protected our che...

I never meant to do the things I did,But love made me do them.The words I said were not by my choice,Love made me say them. I never meant to say I quit,But love made me surrender,Taking that terrible hit. I never meant to smile as I walked away,But love made me do it,Saying he’d only hurt you if I stay. I never wanted to make you cry,Love made me do it,Saying it was better than living in a truthful lie. Love made me force...

Teen girls can often be mean Does it make them feel good It's so hard these days to be a teen Are these kids just understood A trio of girls is like death They gang up on one another The other child feels out breath Hurt feelings that make you shudder Imagine all these teens have autism They don't really get it They don't understand criticism When upset they rage into fits Autism sometimes gets in the way Higher functioni...

Tell me truthfully how it came about,Explain to me where things went so astray,That joyful certainty should turn to doubt,Those bright flowers of love stained by decay.My aching heart is full of unnamed fears,Dreading to hear the unforgiving truth,Assure me that all will not end in tearsThat time itself will be unable to soothe.Speak words to prove my disquiet baseless,Merely unreal spectres sent to tormentBy the demons t...

"It’s okay,” she says, “It’s okay,” she says, With a broken heart, like a broken record, Rather than rejected, my apologies are ignored,She claims my mistakes are derived from her flaws.“It’s okay,” she says, “It’s okay,” she says,With her feet in the fire, so nonchalant,She doesn't condemn the fire, the fire I lit,She turns advocate and praises my sins,Complementing my insults to her, justifying my injustices,Defending m...

This hurtsAgainI wish it were gone It hurts againNo matter how long I thought it was betterBut it’s bested me Unable to hideIt tracks when I flee Focus on somethingSeal off the pain Wrap around and aroundIdle thoughts in my brain Distract with white noiseNumbing gray hum Strike inward eye blindLike the glare from the sun For full light can obstructAs well as the dark Either one blocking tormentThat targets my heart.

You were a hurricane draped in lightning and walking on fire. An unstoppable force, a serious threat, yet also a mesmerizing sight. My heart clenched painfully, in fright and in awe. My instincts screamed to stay away yet I found myself inching closer. As the winds tore down the trees, I remembered the time you said my name. As mountains burned, I remembered your kisses. I heard thunder in my heart in your presence. I fel...

I've shut you out of my heart 12 yearsThousands of hoursHundreds of miles I've shut you out Golden lightCrystal blue watersBurning me up to the bone

The rhythmic, pounding bass and the horns of the Imperial March made her sit up, frantically searching for the phone in the dark. Her hand brushed against something cold, and then she heard the crashing sound of the water glass falling to the floor.“Shit,” she mumbled, as she finally wrapped her shaking hand around the phone.She was panicking that she was going to miss him. Only one person on her phone had that ringtone,...

Through silence, we drift apartNothing to grow the connection of our heartsThough we were once intimateI fear the gap between us can never be metI hesitate to cut all ties, to finally say goodbyeThough I search the depths of my soulThe answers I seek I still don't knowMy thoughts drift back to long agoTo times, I cherish within my soulBut that was yesterday, the pastA point which we moved away from fastWe both try to hold...

The tears flow,I wish I could sleep, to drift down into unfeeling nothingness To cut myself off from this hollow emptiness But the tears flow and my thoughts SwirlPlaying out every twisted scenario of How I fucked it upHow I could have done it differently Of how much of a goddamn idiot I amStunted in emotions Stunted in heart Dead in the head Unable to express what it is that you truly meanTo meUnable to admit, for fear o...

Confusion of the heart My soul is aching My heart Hear it breaking You are my heart Always and forever I'm hurting and crying We're no longer together You can't pick and choose I have a choice to make I have to do what's best What option do I take? Contact made at random Making me cry But nothing sent to me And so I cry I don't know why I thought my tears Had run dry Been told to ask you To stop But it makes my heart ache...

Where can my heart go to break? To lose this pain that I cannot shake, You ran right through it with a stake And left me with this numbing ache.Where can my heart go to bleed? To rid myself of this addictive need The love and hope that your words would feed And to kill the dreams you had guaranteed.Where shall my soul go to die? Is there somewhere above the sky? I hope it is warm and soft and dry And that it will comfort...
