Protection

I was once captivated by the things you would say.
Just seeing you, would brighten up my day.
Now it seems as if that has all changed?
The only thing you do, is cause my heart more pain.
I wish I had known who you really were.
It wouldn't have been so hard.
The agony inside me, makes it hard to breathe.
The impact you had, was so hard to believe.
Now the walls are there, forever guarding my heart.
If only they had been there, to protect it from the start.

Numb To You !

Hard as a rock, Strong as a tree! Hurt again and again? But your not breaking me! A cut is a 
wound, An insult? just a name. I wont let you get to me, I'll continue pushing in the strain. 
Do your worst! I can take your beating! Put me in my place, I can take the bleeding. I'll take 
it all, without any breaking! Do your best, I'll take all the taking! When I'm alone, and your 
far gone? Tears might flow? But you'll think I'm strong! I'll finally let it go, Falling down, bit 
by bit, On the brink of insanity? Then regain my grip! Broken and battered, on the verge of 
giving up? You wont see any of this! You'll think I'm strong enough! Nothing else matters, I'll 
never satisfy you, You may see a slight tear? and think you won? But You Didnt! I swear that 
on my sons! We all deal with it differently, The pain we feel inside? Some of us run? most of 
us hide. Giving up isnt an option;because anger always wins. We dont choose when the pain 
begins, We dont know how to stop it? As we beg for the end! I have some secrets I hide 
beneath my sleeves. With a million scars and bruises, that never let me be? When the 
pressure grows under the skin I hold so tight? I'll know it became too much? And begin 
letting go of my fight! My eyes shine from all the unshed tears? I cant disguise anymore all 
the hurt and fear. I wonder when its all going to let up? While trying to fight, maintain, and 
keep my head up! Times are hard and trying at its best? I should lay my head down to rest? 
Wanting to close my eyes, and bow my head in defeat? Just hold on a little longer, Not just 
yet? This will only make you stronger! I start to build my faith back up, preparing to dodge 
the next punch? I breath in slow, exhale deep. When walking away, Tears fall in discreet! 
The time has come to finally let go? Still I will never give you what you want! It will always 
be a different show. I will never break, the way you want. I will never let you see. You will 
never enjoy the breaking inside of me! Bring your pain forever? If you feel the need? But I 
promise on everything ! You will only Envy me! Watching it all, from a front row seat !

I'Ll Be Okay !!

I’m trying to walk away, and pretend I’ll be okay.
What I started to feel? I've wanted for so long?
I hate to feel this way, having so many words...
And so much left to say?
I try to speak? I tell myself to stop ! don't make a fool of yourself, Just let it be! Boiling in the 
pot. Don't make it more than is?
Continue your path.
Maybe? He'll come back? Then, hear what he says?
I feel the need to see you! it hurts how everything changed?
Why don't you look at me? What made it all go away?
I suddenly can't speak? what is going on?
What happened? Why am I still holding on?
I'm alone now, seeing happy couples everyday?
When will I ever feel it for me...? Just that way?
Why do I close people out , the way that I do?
And tell me why even try letting them in, when it always turns blue?
I expect so much?
And always end up hurt? What did I do to deserve?
Everything was so good and so right?
So why is it gone, in just one night?
Maybe you want to be single? Wanting to be free? 
maybe you want to be available? But not for me?
I think I'm understanding? I think I'll be okay? Just live it out!
You'll get by fine! It's easy, after learning how to say goodbye?
Before you know it? Your back on track? 
And this will become?.... Another object of the past!!

This Is Where We Are

Why this?Because it just feels right!We had the fakest lying hearts;ever in sight!
This isnt my idea of love,or what I thought would be?Wondering why it feels like this?
Between you and me?Ive questioned if I love you?I doubt I ever did!No more games, fights 
or battling like we’re little kids!We’re so unhealthy?Going at it like we do?Always in 
competition?But only with you!You have to be right!Its always been that way?Im Ready to 
leave,But not with arguing!I try not to speak,or even battle you?You make it so hard,With 
the things you do?I try to ignore you?You never let it be?Where did your heart go?And words 
you use to speak?Ive missed that about you? Why did it go away?True smiles?Because we 
made each other that way?Theres so much distance?Its almost sad?We knew from the 
beginning,it wasnt going to last.Everyday is misery?Each day seems the same?Why couldnt I 
make you happy?With who Ive always been?Hearing your nasty words,What did you say 
again?I feel like I hate you?and cant wait to leave this sin!Why do I get so angry?These 
feelings I cannot mend.I think its time!We go our separate ways!And bring this to an end!
This is for both of us!To see our future days,With joy and happiness,We’ll soon see again?
These days are getting longer!But only making us stronger.Do you see the future yet?I 
surely do!Only growing fonder.Im not quite finished yet?I have to make this clear!Dont 
misread my thoughts?And conversation Im having here?I want to remind you of the guilt 
indeed!Never appreciating, the time you had with me!You tell me that you love me,I must be 
blind to see?My Life with you is over!My heart stopped the bleed!You said again you Love Me?
Sorry!Im Not feeling you!Remember the night making choices you chose to do?That was the 
day you forced feelings I ever had away!There’s nothing left to talk about, nothing left to say.
Love wouldn’t allow getting in bed with her that day!Your actions spoke louder than words! 
Nothing but despite!You wanted to know what I feel for you?Well here you go!Im excited to 
be single!And cant wait to mingle!When Im around you?It’s hard to look in your face!
All I see is a cheater!And that! Can Never be erased!Game over now!Dead memories of my
