Killing Me Softly

You come home late agian another time.
Smelling like cheap perfume and cheap red wine.
You caress my cheek with touches so soft.
Touching my shirt, slowly taking it off.

It isn't the first time you have done this.
Always coming home, face full of bliss.
I know what your doing, your touches are toxic.
But I love you so much, I feel helpless to stop it.

To be second rate, and feeling your fake passion.
Your killing me softly, your my hearts assassin.
This is all you want whenever you come home.
You get what you want, then leave me alone.

I just want you to love me like I do you.
But I'm in denial, as it wont come true.
You finally stop, but your too drunk to see.
All my tears that refuse to leave me.

You turn the other way, and go to bed.
No words uddered, nothing was said.
Apparently my soal, to you, isn't so caustly.
Because even you know your killing me softly.

Promises

You said you'd be here, you said you'd stay,
But you went to heaven, and you went away.
You broke the promise you swore you'd keep,
That we'd die together in forevers sleep.

You didn't even say goodbye as you left me here.
I'm failing to choke down all these tears.
My face becomes moist, my sight turns to mist.
With my frown turned lips, i give you a kiss.

I try to look away as they lower your casket.
I'll try to survive, but I don't think i can las it.
I throw your favorite flowers into your grave.
Watching people throw dirt, over you they pave.

I feel no solace, I'm all alone.
As I see your name set in stone.
I feel a breeze, it's a wind so cold.
I remember the final words you had told..

You said to me, "Don't take your life."
I asked you, "Why?", as I put down the knife.
You told me you loved me, as its your final wish.
I shook my head yes, though I feel no bliss.

So even though I still don't inderstand why your gone,
Why god took you away from me, but i will live on.
I hear your comforting whispers, I think its a sign.
So I know I'll see you agian when its my time.

Sincerially

Pain always in my heart.
I didn't tell anyone the burden I bear, but its tearing me apart.
This is the only way of expressing my pain.
Its the only thing that keeps my sane.
Feeling the adrenaline and seeing the crimson red flow.
Feeling the cold, metal blade tear open my flesh ever so slow.
Loosing the hurt with every cut.
Forming scars when they shut.
When I see that beautiful ruby red, I go into a trance.
One strike of the blade after another, in the same sitting stance.
I can't take it, so i'll run the blade through my shattered heart.
None of you knew of my pain from the very start.
So I'm writting this poem for you now, so you can hear.
Pleade don't cry, I don't deserve a single tear.
My heart was to far gone for you to mend.
So i say goodbye now
                                        
                                                   Sincericaly,
                                               -Your Friend-

Do You Love Me

Picking these petals off these flowers.
Listening to the thunder and rain showers.
Feeling my heart recieving another crack,
Not knowing if you ever coming back.

Do you love me?
Do you not?

Hoping for these petals to give me a reply.
But they say nothing and the flower dies.
My hearts a game and I'm losing quick.
I think of you plays and I'm feeling sick.

Do you love me?
Do you not?

These questions are haunting and I'm not sure.
With the water in my eyes my vision is blurred.
I guess I'll never know as I lay in my bed.
I hold onto my hearts pieces, my answer left unsaid.

Your Secret Side

I am your sin for you to keep.
When you have guilt while you sleep.
In the morning when we have parted,
You'll be thinking of what we have started.

You love me, even though you are married.
I can see all the regret you haven't berried.
I couldn't ask you to leave your wife.
You have a good family and a nice life.

You'll have to tell her in due time.
About your sin and bad crime.
But for now I'll let you keep it.
I'll stay and be your sin secret.

Loneliness

It's cold,  it's loud. 
It's dark, no sound.
By myself, so why? 
So lonely , i cry. 

I'm drowning, can't swim.
I'm shaking, so grim. 
So weak, can't flee.
Feeling sad, so lonely.

Two Years Too Long

I'm taking a walk, I need to get away.
It's been two years sense you died today.
Your always on my mind, I try to be brave.
Out of sorts, I arrive at your marble grave.
I brush the leaves off your stone.
So your carved name can be shown.
Even though I visit you everyday,
I always have new things to say.
I brought you flowers and prayers to send.
But one day in heaven I'll make amends.

Abuser's Thoughts

I know what I'm doing to you isn't right.
I'm hitting you and you don't try to fight.
I just get into this blinding anger.
Believe I don't want you in danger.

I try to get better but it happens again.
Each smack comes with adrenalin.
Gettin better seems so impossible.
With all the kicks I feel unstoppable.

You love me but I don't know why.
I feel guilt but pleasure as you cry.
I'm sorry but I'm not at the same time.
I can't stope this abuse, this sick crime.

Beauty and Tragedy

I can't be with you, you see.
Our fairytale wasn't meant to be.
I will let you go and let you be free.
Because you are the beauty,
And I am just the tragedy.

I ran away, so far away from this.
It started from that night and faithful kiss.
Believe me I felt so much bliss.
I think of you as I clench my fist.
But I'm long gone and you I'll miss.

I don't deserve you, that much I can see.
So I'll leave now and get off you property.
Please, I beg you, don't come after me.
Because you are the beauty,
And I am just the tragedy.

I know what your thinking as you read on and on in this.
"These faults of yours aren't true," as you go through the list.
You smile as you read the part about our kiss.
I think of you as I clench my fist.
But I'm long gone and you I'll miss.

We're finally getting to the end of our story.
You'll find that it's what you can't see.
It's a part of me, a memory.
Because you are the beauty,
And I'm just the tragedy.

Fog

Here I am agian after another fight.
 Driving on a deserted road out of sight.
 Wipping away the tears thats blurring my eyes.
 So worked up, I didn't see the fog in the skies.
 
I drove so long, I don't know how long it will last.
 My car started to slow, I realized I'm out of gas.
 With my frown turned lips, I took out my phone.
 But then I seen that no signal had shown.
 
I tried to make a call, but it had no service.
 Looking around I started to feel nervouse.
 Then I noticed a car comming behind.
 I seen the headlights as they shined.
 
A man got out of the car and he asked if I was ok.
 I told him my problem, as my fear frayed away.
 He told me he would give me a ride.
 I said yes, never questioning why.
 
We drove for a while, no town or car in sight.
 I started to feel that something wasn't right.
 Then he spoke, said it's been a long time.
 I was a little confused, then it hit my mind.
 
He was the same guy who stalked me.
 We were younger, but how couldn't I see.
 I noticed the change in his personality.
 He dropped the nice guy foramlity.
 
He gripped the stearing wheel, knuckles pale.
 I tried to open the door, but I failed.
 Then I noticed how it was locked.
 I was so stunned and so shocked.
 
I told him to stop and let me out.
 He said nothing, so I started to shout.
 He said my boyfriend stole me away.
 Keeping his anger barely at bay.
 
He said he will steal me now.
 Says he'll do it the only way how.
 He started to speeD the car too fast.
 Seeing the 'Road End' sign we had past.
 
Then I seen the cliff ten feet ahead.
 He was so focoused, on he sped.
 So I grabbed the wheel and jerked it right.
 Spinning out of control with a blurry sight.
 
We stopped so hard, I felt so much pain and force.
 There was a tree we slammed into being the source.
 I look and see my kidnapper dead.
 I looked at my hands only seeing red.
 
Still in shock, not seeing the gas soaking the ground.
 But seeing the spark and the fire spreading all around.
 Before I could reach the car door.
 The car exploded and the flames soraed.
