Lies

I wake up in the morning,

The smell of your perfume lingering on my skin,

I roll over to see if your body still lay there,

& I realize everything I loved vanished.

I just have these images and scents stuck in my head,

I have everything you ever gave me packed away,

I look through it again and again each day.

Trying to piece the puzzle together,

& figure out why we drifted apart.

I want to know if you still think about me like I think about you,

I want to know if you still have the things I made and gave to you.

I just wish I could stop smelling you,

Stop thinking about you,

Just everything about you brings me to my knees,

& I am begging you please,

Please just let me forget you.

I wake up the next morning and realize,

Everything about you was lies.

Common Sense On a Shelf

As the crimson color fades away,

I think about all the hardships from every day.

I am the only one that truly knows about my pain,

The pain I face each day, that never seems to go away.

I do not ever regret any of the damage I did to myself,

But I do regret leaving my common sense to gather dust on the shelf.

I knew that what I was doing was not okay,

But I insisted on continuing every day.

The starving,

The cutting,

The fasting,

The binging,

I wish I could restart from the beginning.

I watched me destroy myself,

Because I left my common sense on a shelf.

I continued to watch my life pass me by, 

As everything around me began to die.

I clearly remember losing every single friend,

Because they could not stand being there from beginning to end.
