Holding You
~***Part One of Vanish Away the Anguish series…read Part Two, Leaving You. Thanks***~
It’s horrendous…
This loneliness
Finding it hard enough to extraordinarily express
Myself when people don’t mind how big of a mess
I’ve been in…for an awful long, long time
Hopeless again…ain’t it horribly sublime?
This half-witted distress
Stabs me lately regardless…
Left alone
Want to disappear
On my own
Numb away my fear
Rest is unknown…
Restless and a lone bone…I lay down on my cushion in lost ambition and groan
Hate your tone of voice…
You spitefully used me…
Still, you are forgiven, but it won’t be forgotten
Don’t play games, baby
Left me no room to rejoice
I’ve grown out of love and its temporary feelings that make you want to moan
A lonely ice-cream cone
Felt no cheer
Didn’t answer your phone
Not held dear
Pretend you’re mine
I would feel oh so fine
I didn’t mean to hurt you horrendously
Like you did to me in hateful negativity
Young and foolish
Gleefully in anguish
Don’t let me hang there forever…
I want to be positive with you, tangled in my hair
Never will I push you away, never…
I will never hurt you the way you hurt me…I wouldn’t dare…
And I care for you…
Unlike you did, true
You are still apart of my fractured mind…let's unwind what’s left behind
You marked me up nice with such articulate, tattooed words so kind
So shattered…
Like it mattered…
To you…with or without you,
I am mind-scattered
Heart-battered
Not flattered…
Tattered…
Like nothing mattered…
I didn’t matter apparently
You can’t disagree, I see
Trying to wish away what happened to me a decade ago
Molested in madness and masked myself with misery
I stare at the glass window before me, tears start to flow
Wish, too, to break away and erase that nasty memory
I will hide my rage and pain and throw it away like an old sweater
I will engage in pleasing you
It’s strange how you speak my language of ever-changing weather
I will keep on pressing on too
We hurt each other horrendously…and we knew it would
Why are we fighting these battles?
Envious desires and venom lusts harm us more than good
Who broke apart our well-built castles?
We shouldn’t be tolerating these wars of self-destruction
We shouldn’t be starting ridiculous riots between us…
We need a tranquil disruption or a rather brilliant distraction
Hold my hands and keep them warm without a fuss
I will cuddle you throughout the night
With kisses and hugs without a fright
We will no longer horrendously hurt each other
We should be absolutely adoring one another…
It’s horrendous…your hatred is left unsaid in dread that bred in me insipid, stupid emotions and angst
How much you heartlessly hate my splendid lovin'? Prove it...
Bring me to a healing home, a heavenly haven of honest, halcyon hopes
I find it despicable and senseless…and then again, (bit by bit)
It didn’t matter to you anyway…you didn’t even say thanks when I did you right all this time…thanks…
Sing to me when I am alone – strangle me with rage and rejection ropes
