Safety Pins and Scarlet Red

I'm just your girl next door and in a crowed I don’t stand out, I blend in with everyone else
I am the one who's head is hung in insecurity’s, my bangs worn in my eyes
When you see a wrinkled up piece of paper with ink splatter poetry floating across the street 
with the wind
...that’s what’s most likely to make you think of me
And your bitter sweet lips whisper my name
I have not much to offer but a soil tear trail that my mascara traced as my unhappy soul wept
My arms are proof of battle grounds, a cut for each bad memory
A tear spent to another smile lost, A cut gained to another piece of my heart sacrificed
My eyes wear you well
Your jaded and reaching out
Your just like me,
You wont admit it
But I can tell
The cuts were never deep enough to remove the pain
I tried so hard
But the release to me
It just never came
What’s working it out
When you smile with an empty soul
But your security is holding something sharp next to you to hug your skin
The depression is like a disease you cant do anything about
Its your sad selfish cutters way of crying out
Your attempt to bleed out what’s all kept in
Your weakness's
Your poisen

Unspoken Words

I need you to believe me
My feet are giving out right from underneath me
And my tear fall
Are the unspoken words
For the things I only wish that I herd
Broken poetry written with the sharp end of a knife
And I’m dragging myself on my elbows across these shards of my broken up heart
The pieces few and far between
I’m too scarred up to be anyone’s beauty queen
So as pieces of me will quickly fall
He stands close by
Listening to it all
Collecting up my shatterd heart
Has become his hobby
Catch me
Quick I’m falling
I think I have  fallen
The scars on my wrist 
And my arms razor kissed
Nothing like the gaping wounds in my heart
A cut down my arm
As the blood dances down
I wont whimper, I wont make a sound
I close my eyes
Hearing your voice on the other end
I could only wish
To share just one kiss
To get wrapped up in the moment
Our hearts caught up in this
My words caught in my throat
But my hands are tied behind my back
Ill smile as and pretend
As my heart begins to crack
Like the ice I tread
hold me just a little bit longer
In the moment,
I can feel myself getting stronger

In Your Arms Tonight

We’ve had a rough day But we got through
You do not know
How much I look forward to nights
And how much closer the stillness brings me to you
As you lay your head to rest
Your at peace, stripped of your stress
I lye there thinking,How these night are the best
Lord help me get through the day
A night next to you,Will help me get through the rest
I hear you stir a little in your sleep,
I lye there thinking thoughts so deep,
You wrap your arms around me so tight,As if to say
Worry no more my dear, everything will be alright
I  run my fingers through your dark hair
You kiss my lips so sweetly,
An act of love showing me just  how much you care,
The night is mine to borrow,And the lords to lend
You will remember nothing of this tomorrow,
And I will go back to feeling I haven’t  been the best friend
The nights allow me the best of you.
In the uneasiness of it all,It is in those moments I find
Everything just might be alright,I’ve fallen into the arms 
Of the man I love, tonight

Every Letter Saved

His name drips from her lips
Cherry red painted just like her finger tips
He is her drug and she is addicted
She gets lost in the thought of losing him
And begins to miss him
Searching eyes the deepest shade of haze 
Never ending
His heart was only hers not for the taking but instead for the lending
He broke her heart and yet she still loves him with all the pieces
She's not afraid of happy endings, she's just afraid her life wont work out that way
And he'll come and go as he pleases
His scream drips through her veins
Lost in marble pools for eyes
She doesn't have to cut anymore to relies
She don’t miss him, she misses who she thought he was
She hates watching him carrying on loving everyone else like he does
Perhaps his heart is so big that he loves everyone else
So much that by the end of the day he don’t have enough room to love her
She saved every letter
He's danced around her heart from the first day he met her

Fading

The nights are crisp and long

And lonely

My heart bleeds out

My breath trembling

The blood runs cold

As I am waiting

Leaves churning through the breeze

Aching for you to hold me

Thorn barrier

Wrapped around

My bleeding eyes

Dripping down

A withering flower

Blackening and wilting with each bewitching hour

My words engraved

Scrolled across this wall

Forever condemned

Like the damned

The darkness calling out to me

Your voice reaches out to me and pulls me in

Before I truly ever can fall

Now I’m here

But my heart is there

I’m fading fast

Pinching closed my wounds

So that I might try and last

Growing numb

Rolling the blade between my finger and thumb

But I won’t 

Because I promised

Because I care

My weakness and my strength

To be with you

I’d go to great lengths

Tongue Tied

Her tongues tied
But her hair's down
She smiles, the only time she smiles is when there's people around
And she cries,
Yeah the only time she'll cry is when she knows there's no sign of life at this time of night 
In such a small little town
So put on your face
As best as you can
Run from your fears 
run from this place
As fast as you can
And these tattoo's
Are a part of me
A failed attempt
To hide what’s underneath
I break open these scars
To start over new
One more cut
I bleed over you
And we fall
And break into a million pieces
I’m chasing after you
Constantly questioning myself when I’m around you, over analyzing everything I do
And I don't need this
Yet I stick around to see how many times I can screw everything up
It's like a marry go round
With it's ups and down
Following each other
Going in one big circle with one another
Just to get.....back.....to where we started
What if the start was the end?
Crawling up underneath my skin
Breaking off
As I dig my fingernails in

Cut and Bleed

Rippling water

Smooths my tears

Silk and thread

Ribbons and lace

Sooths my deepest fears

The darkness swallow's the sun deep

And my heart nearly burst from all the secrets I keep

The silver lining I hold to my flesh and slash

Leaving a huge gash

Scarlet blood seeps through my veins

Hoping to eventually bleed out all of my pain

My thoughts consume me

Torn open and stitched back together as best as I know how to be

What's better then saying goodbye 

As I choke down my heart and cry?

Coming back just to leave me again

A battle with depression ill just never win

Go on....say it...say it again

Leave me

I'll fend for myself

I'll slowly let go of my health

Promises are like roses

Keep them alive and strong

Only to slowly die

So I've got trust issues

And you all wonder why?

All the times I've fallen to the ground

My face in my hands and no one there

Maybe I was scared

Out of fear for what I could do to my own worst enemy

And still you left me alone with me

I watch myself

................Cut and bleed

Let it bleed, let me fall away
