Who Am I You Ask

i cried out to you 
with my tempo
i gave myself to you
with my emotions
i believed in you
with my feelings
i trusted you 
with my senses
i danced for you
with the rhythm of my beat 
i sung music 
for you
with my melody
i loved you with every ounce of blood in me
i breathed you 
i hungered for you
i made music with you....
perfect harmony
but what happened?
was it enough?
is it ever enough?
you still say you don't recognize me
how can you say you don't know who i am
i gave you my all
and still you stomped on me
ripped me from my environment
laughed at me
wrote jokes about me 
paraded my broken pieces everywhere
you darkened me
changed me
for worse
you stab me with your hatred
you cut me with your un-true stories 
who am i you ask
still laughing
still cutting 
still breaking....
I'm the heart of the person you once said you loved....
will you ever stop?

Maybe Now You'Ll Notice Me

how is it you  didn't you hear her scream
she cried it all in a song for you

how is it you didn't  taste her tears
she served them to you in your precious china

how is it you didn't see her hurt
she painted it all 
in a mural for you
on the walls of your own home
in your bedroom

how is it you didn't you feel her pain
she knitted it all 
in a blanket for you 
 wrapped you in it
 
how is it you didn't smell her fear
she made you a bottle of perfume 
the smell 
overtaking it 

how is it you didn't read it
she wrote it 
all on your my space
maybe because you were blinded
but the again 
she
i
i wrote it in braille for you
i danced it for you
you never loved me
i wasn't really yours to love
i was just rose bud 
you tended to time to time in your garden 
of beautifully bloomed long stemmed  roses
nothing special to you
i hope you regret it when i bloom
oh wait
i
have
and you do regret it
you even wrote it in a song told them to play it on a radio only
i didn't hear it
i turned the radio off
and pick up a book
i like reading better anyway
