Still Alive

You’ve brought me down
So many times
I cannot believe 
I am still alive

Stomping
Pushing
Biting

Every time I say a word
You punch me
And break my nose

But here I go again
Wishing for another beating
Following you
Like a dog

But, no
I can’t keep living like this
I the servant
You the master

This time I won’t let you
Bring me down

I’m fighting
You try to push me
Over the railing
I turn and see 
The look of surprise on your face
As you feel
Yourself lose your grip 
And begin to fall

I watch you

I hear the thump

Two flights of stairs down

I fell nothing but hate 
No compassion,
No pity

I laugh out loud
I knew you’d get what you deserved
But I’m not done with you

And I throw myself
After you
And 
I can feel the heat as I fall

Who Am I?

Who am I?
I’m not sure anymore.
When I say hi.
I feel like a lie.

Who am I?
I feel like I’m crying,
Like I’m drowning,
Like I’m dieing, while I sit here.

Who am I?
Will I ever know?
Will I ever find out my meaning?
Will I ever know whom I’m seeing? 
Staring back with eyes so cold?

Who am I?

I Loved You

I see you, lying there,
Dead,
Like a dog, 
Bleeding.
Your blood and sweat mixing
And pouring on the floor.

I love you.

I opened myself to you.
You knew everything about me.
I trusted you.

But I turned around and you
Stabbed me in the back.

I loved you.

Your eyes were wide with shock,
As I came towards you,
Then they turned to fear.

I loved you.

As you fell and scrambled away,
I came forward with my arm raised high,
My eyes bleak and emotionless,
You watched as my arm came down,
And you screamed.

I loved you.

I am empty now,
My body is covered with your blood,
You took away my heart,
I took away your life.

I loved you.

But I cannot live with a heart.
Me, the dog hugging, children loving person that I was,
You have destroyed me.
I am nothing. What do I have to life for?

I loved you.

“I can’t fake living with emptiness 
inside me,” I say out loud.
As I sink the knife into myself.
It hurts, but finally as my eyes close,
I feel.
I finally feel something.

I loved you.

And a teardrop falls to my cheek, 
Just as I fall atop you.

I really did love you.
