Lying To the Roses

Id be lying if i said i didn't miss you.
That this home once a home now an empty shell, a reflection of the husk of a tenant surviving inside.
A half broken shell, combating the waves, damaged and worn by the salt of the seas. 
I'd be lying if i said the scent of your skin doesnt linger in my mind, a depressing perfume, the ghosts of what could have been. 
A bitterness cut into every cake i will ever make, a sour sting from the memories we once shared,before they were memories, when they were the moments of our love story, carved in fondant with sugar hearts and candy kisses. 
Before Big Ben came crashing down around me in a quake of realization, that I will never look at roses the same. 
Stabbed by their thorns too many times, their deep green claws digging into my heart.
What dangers hide behind such beauty. 
I'd by lying if i said your name doesnt bounce around my head, dancing on my lips, begging to be spoken. Now a dirty word playing on my toungue and sliding down my teeth.
Id be lying if i said i don't love you anymore, that the anger had ripped through me and cut you from my cracked stone heart. 
That the roses don't tempt me anymore.

See Me -An Apology-

See me as i am now
Can you look me in the eyes 
After all the things we've been through
After all this unknown time 

Do you understand now 
Why i did the things i did
Can you accept now that I'm sorry
Let me love you like i did 

Please come home to me 
To the place where you belong
Here by my side again 
Don't leave me on my own 

Tell me you can forgive me 
That you can let me try again 
Can we crawl back to our memories
When we'd make this town our own
Have our fires burn together 
Build my heart into your home 

Please see me as i am now 
Know I'm screaming in my soul
My spirit aching for your touch now
My body starved for you to hold
Tell me you'll come home now 
To where you belong

Runaway Love

I sit here listening to our wedding song
Pictures dancing in my head 
And i cant help but sing along
To the memories that never got to be.

So ill listen 
To all those songs we used to sing
Even if it start to break my heart 
Ill take the pain 

Runaway love
You're gone with the wind 
When i hear your name
It takes me back to those places
We should have been 

So even if it hurts this time 
I have to say goodbye
And ill listen to our wedding song
Everytime i sing along

Runaway love 
You're gone with the wind 
When i hear your name, 
It takes me to that place 
Our love could have been 

 Runaway love 
 my runaway love

Tinker Toys

A Doll,
Broken, fragile, porceline 
Cracked and flaking 

A Jack in the Box,
Arms detached, missing eye
Still jumping to its song. 

Peices of me falling to the floor. 
A fragile toy sitting on its shelf. 

Eyes viewing flying by, no beauty in whats broken. 


Toy collector, Toy collection.
Thank you for seeing my worth.
