Ascent From MiseryIt’s a long slow trip into misery
It starts by putting that bad feeling aside
By narrowing your expectations
And removing all of your pride
And as you make you humble
You actually cripple as well
You reach so far to have someone else
That it actually puts you in hell
It’s a long slow trip into misery
From which I...

GaslightingGaslighting
Your words are etched deep into my skin,
They must have hurt, these scars,
But you told me they were beautiful,
And I believed you.
Your accusations have ripped my flesh in,
My brain and heart, are stored in your jars,
But you said I was safe and beautiful,
And I believed you.
I am bones in a cage in a rusty...

Emotional AbuseWithin the confines of the prison
Lies an abandoned soul
He’s looking through the shattered prism
For emotions to take hold
He’s searching for the pain and pleasure
To acquire a human form
Within the exploration
Begins the evil storm
Security is distant
And melancholy strikes
The victim is resistant
And hides his saddened eyes
The sense of self is broken
The roles are undefined
A place of isolation
In...

I Loved You, I Love Me MoreI used to love you
More than I loved myself
But our love took a dark turn
I cared for you, lied for you
Even stood in front of a bullet
I would have died for you
Without a second thought
See,
There's grave danger in putting someone else before you
Because it means you always take the backseat
My wants, my needs
Were put on...

Emotional AbuseTears, Tears
Everywhere!
Pain, Pain
In her stomach!
He makes her
Cry,
Every night..
But he won't
Lay a finger on her.
She's not happy
anymore!
She has to act
As though she wants
To be there.
Her mom tries to see
The hurt in her eyes.
But she hides it very
Well.
She love him as she
Says.
But she can't take
The emotional abuse.
She can't take the
Pain he causes her.
The...

Emotional AbuseSome how, you say that I'm the one to blame,
I deserved for you to treat me the way you did.
It was always my attitude that set you off.
Even though I was just a kid.
I'd cry myself to sleep at night,
Wishing, for all the pain to fade.
Knowing I could end it all,
Just one quick slice of...

Modern Love“I’m scared to love you, please don’t hurt me”
New and exciting
Two hearts longing for one another
Hips colliding
Every laugh, every kiss, every hug
You
Me
Us
“You’re the only one I want, forever”
My heart is now two
The other half was in you
Forever we said
No matter where no matter what
600 miles was never too much
“The...

The Silent TreatmentThe silent treatment
Stunned silence,
After that first sweet kiss,
Blissful silence,
Cuddled by love's soft fire,
Angry silence,
Something is amiss,
Endless silence,
Does he not tire?
Screaming in silence,
Breath choked to a hiss,
Shocked silence,
At the funeral pyre....

Worthless Addict BxxxxI'm not worthless,
I know my worth
and I'm not worth less.
I'm an addict,
not addicted.
I may be a b!#@h,
but I'm not stuck in insanity anymore.
I know that in my core.
Worthless Addict B!#@h is what you called me,
slinging insults was your nitch.
Everyone else could see
how mean you were to me.
Abusive,
only I know what the truth is,
the distrust I...

To My Knees I Dropwhen will the misery dissapear,
why cant i just block the terrors out?
my life will never be clear,
my words are never heard even if i shout,
the pain of a thousand spears,
i've drifted from the correct route,
subdue the tears,
i've lost what my life's about,
i've been walking this path for so long,
i'm losing touch with me,
how could a...

A Dying Widowi can taste her on your lips.
the stain from her lipstick is
infused to the fibers on your
white work shirt.
I'm guessing the color is cherry red.
the scent of her perfume
weakens my stomach,
knots my heart,
takes every hope i had
of our future and turns it into mud,
blood boiling like shower water
you washed with to scrub her touch off...

Three CheatThree days ago I did not wonder if you loved me
Five days ago I did not wonder what you would do if you could not me
Three months ago I did not think that in my lowest moments you'd disrespect me
Three days ago I did not think I'd look at your phone and see

The Weight of WordsThey told her,
"Words are just air".
But air can bruise,
and silence can tear.
She learned to bleed in quiet tones,
Each syllable a crack in bones.
They carved her name in crooked lies,
They laughed when truth leaked from her eyes.
Words were chains that held her tight,
sweet on tongues, but edged with bite.
They dressed...
