Dying Inside

Breaking down within,
Tears only felt and never seen,
My strength is underestimated,
To them I am a machine

My heart is in 1000 pieces,
But they will never know,
For to them I am a fortress,
No emotion will I show

I smile although I am hurt,
I laugh when I want to cry,
A facade is what I wear as a mask,
When I feel like I am dying inside

Instead of steady brick,
My emotional walls are made of sand,
I have been told I seem to confident,
But my worth I can measure in the palm of a childs hand

Like the night sky... 
So starless in the city,
Dark depths always seem to surround
the girl I once knew as "Me"

Impossible To Forget

My life revolves around  him,
Still I am lonely and missing his touch...
I hang on to his every word,
Why do I let him affect me so much?

So absorbed in his own world,
How does he do that so well?
So comfortable in his own skin,
I buy every word he sells

Pull me close then push me away,
He runs into my arms then leaves,
I try to pretend I really don't care,
But I know I wear my heart on my sleeve

I have broken all my own rules,
I know I will eventually regret...
Yet every second hes in my thoughts,
So impossible to forget

Awkward Silence Speaks Volumes

The awkward silence beween us,
Speaks volumes through the tension in the air,
I wonder what I said this time,
or maybe its because I was just "there"

What happened to the couple who
together could withstand hell,
Now I watch every move I make,
as if I am walking on eggshells

I know its partially my fault,
for letting things get this way,
But to avoid arguments for years,
I have not said what I needed to say

I cannot take anymore 
of the manipulative tactics you use,
I have to take control of the situation,
My heart cannot take anymore abuse

So what is the next step?
Separation? time apart?
Without you seems impossible,
I don't know where to start

Screaming Demons

I try to collect my thoughts,
The ones that consume my mind,
Knowing I did this to myself,
An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind...

Waiting for the signs of changes,
That never seem to come,
Day by day slowly passes,
And still I am the only one...

Temptation of vindication
Is what has trapped me here...
Inpatiently I am waiting,
As my  own existence begins to disappear

These Screaming Demons,
Have rapidly began  taking over me,
Revenge has not only taken my sight,
but now my  voice so that I cannot speak

Every move I make feels,
Like I am a puppet on a string...
Evil now surrounds my head,
So close to Hell I can hear the burning souls sing

My Angel

Looking into your eyes, I find myself lost in dreams of future days, To me there is nothing more comforting, Than being in My Angels embrace, When he holds me in his arms, The rest of the world seems to disappear, The magic of My Angels touch, Can take away even the darkest of my fears, In his room only lit by candle light, Skin on skin we lay there, Never before have I felt so secure, My Angel if you only knew how much I care...

Thanks For Giving Me the Strength To Leave You

I wish I could tell you what you long to hear,
Instead I find myself choking on words held in for too long...
You act as if things are as simple as "I'm sorry..I'll change"
But this time I remain steadfast and strong...

I let you tear me down,
Until there was nothing more than a fragile child,
Too afraid to speak or move,
Even to scared to smile..

You beg and you plea that I will return,
The tears stream down your cheeks,
I ask myself why do I care how you feel,
When you never seemed to care for me...

I tried to open up to you,
And ask why you were pushing me away,
I tried to fix things before they got too broken,
But you didn't care about what I had to say..

I was the one trying to hold us together,
You always kept me at arms length,
When you shunned me and ignored my existence,
Little did you know it was causing me to grow in strength..

Little School Girl Crush

I watched for your face today,
and I listened for your voice
I wonder if you noticed how,
I smile around you without choice

I know I seem so silly when,
I stumble for my words when we speak,
I know you often wonder if,
You are the cause of the blush on my cheeks,

Do you think I am too old,
To have a little school girl crush?
Do you often find yourself fantasizing
About the future for us?

What if you are my soul mate?
What if you are the one?
Oh silly me, here I go again...
I hide my face and run

In Heaven

I imagine you sitting on your cloud,
halo glowing, 
wings fluttering,
as you give me little signs that you are there.

I hear your voice whisper,
It has faded through the years
Yet I remember the feeling
Of knowing it was the last time in this lifetime

I was so young
I wish I had more time,
I know God knows what a treasure he has,
I know because  I have told him

Did you see all the crying eyes that day?
Could you hear the sobbing from heaven?
I am no longer angry at God for taking you...
Because I know we will see eachother again

The Chains

The chains are finally broken,
That held me there for so long,
I suffered in silence,
No I rejoice in song...

A part of me feels bad,
for the sad little man I now see,
The other part of me laughs inside,
Because now you are bound by the chains that once bound me..
