Moving On

feeling confused as hell
don't know how i feel, how i'm supposed to feel
am i supposed to feel like i need you, like i can't live without you
because i don't feel that way
am i supposed to miss you at night, want you by my side
because i don't
am i supposed to want to fight till the end for us
because i don't think i want to
to want to be with you, i don't know i should feel
it scares me but i don't know if this is going to work
what if my heart is moving on...

Skin and Flesh

I wish I were back in elizabethan times
A period in which flesh was in because it meant that you had something to eat and skin and bones were out
It must have been great back then
No worries over weight- I mean, they didn't even have a scale to measure their selves with
Not like today, where scales seem to measure everyone's self-value, or at least that's what it seems like
Today, when I step onto my scale it seems to scream at me, it shouts out the pounds that weren't there the week before
My self-worth seems to disappear the longer I stand there listening to the scale scream its harsh words at me
I hate how the world is today- why the scale have to be invented? Why do magazines have to put in only skinny people and why does there always to be diet advertisements everywhere?
Even to those of us that are skinny we feel as though we aren't good enough
We forget about how, at one time, being good enough was pertaining to your personality
Nowadays, it refers to our bodies and our flesh
We pinch at ourselves, some at real fat, others at just skin
Yet even skin feels as though it's fat- it's flesh and flesh isn't good anymore
I feel as though I'm about to drown
There's no one to talk to, no one that understands what that scale does to me
Most people's enemies are human but mine is that stupid machine that has been given the ability to make me feel worthless
Every time that I indulge in extra food I feel guilty and I feel as though my self as a human will decrease in value
I wish I could love myself
It's strange, I love myself on the inside yet I can't seem to accept my outward appearance
Just one more oddity to today's society- able to love everyone else's appearance other than your own
The more I think about it, the more I want to be a part of some other era
Maybe I could even start a revolution- the revolution of loving yourself
Only this revolution doesn't lead to an era with scales and diet ads and toothpick models
No, this revolution leads way to a neo-elizabethan world- a world that hates the whole skin and bones image and loves only flesh

Tough-Untough

an emotional rollercoaster
for weeks i can be so tough
because i know i am so much better off now
i am resilient, i can get through anything
but then my exterior slowly cracks
allowing the tears that were so carefully hidden deep to leak out
i cry, not because i'm weak
but to let all this built-up pressure out
the frustration of raising my son with no financial help from his dad
the pure anger of my ex having my two year old around his sixteen year old girlfriend
what the hell, she is a kid herself
i know i'm strong, i will get through this
but that doesn't make the road any smoother...

Just Friends

when we started talking again, we agreed on just friends
with sex
and that was just fine
but now i miss you between visits
now i crave being in your arms and the comfort that it brings
you drive me crazy sometimes but i actually don't mind it
i hate that i'm falling for you because this wasn't supposed to happen
i don't want to be hurt right now and that's what keeps me from telling you my true   thoughts
i just couldn't stand the thought of you pushing my feelings away...

Fading Trust

i know most people would have run by now
who knows, maybe i should
but i remember our wedding day, when we stared into each other's eyes and recited our vows
i remember the love, the passion, the intent behind those vows
and that is what keeps me determined
but i have to know that what was between you and her is over
i have to trust in you and that trust is wanting to fade
i don't want to be the fool, i want to believe your words so much
but it is so hard right now
i feel like my heart is slowly bleeding
i so badly want it healed but is that healing going to come from me or you...

In the Blink of An Eye

life can change in the blink of an eye
whether it be something big, like a horrible car crash, or small, like a person creeping into your life
either way, everything changes from that point forward
and what ultimately comes from it is all in how you deal with it
so for me, i was depressed because our life changed and i wasn't able to piece us back together
but then there was the realization that what's meant to be isn't always what it seems
so i forgot about us and focused on me
on chasing my dreams
on being the best mom my son could ever have
on keeping only good, true people in my life
and now i couldn't be happier
all because life changed in the blink of an eye

Hurts

it hurts so bad to know that you held her hand
when the only hand that should be enclosed in yours is mine
it hurts that you thought you were in love with her
when the only one that should be able to steal your heart is me
it hurts that you blew her a kiss
when only i should be catching your kisses
it doesn't matter that your lips never touched or your bodies, god forbid, ever met
it still hurts
you shared moments with her that never should have been created
that is what hurts
because i'm suppose to be your one and only...

To Be Swept Off Your Feet Again

you meet someone and they sweep you off your feet
you start a romance which leads to a life together
you build a foundation of trust, love, hope for the future
you think that you will be with this love of your life for the rest of your life
that this love is completely irreplaceable
and then this love crumbles away everything
this entire future that was built upon our life together is stolen by your lies
everything that was, no longer is
so now you start over
you hope that someday someone will sweep you off your feet again
you hope that you will find that one that you can truly trust
that won't break your heart with lies
find that person that you will grow old forever with....

Disappear

i can't stop the tears
i hurt so much inside
i never asked for any of this yet i'm having to deal with it
i want so badly to turn back time and have things how they were before
so desperately want to
but instead i'm crying, night after night
the one i fell in love with nine years ago no longer has my heart
and right now i don't know where my heart is
i feel so alone, confused
i just want this hurt and pain to disappear
and though i know it will over time, it feels too far away

When We Lost Us

although i'm content with my life and know i'm going to be okay
sometimes i wonder at what exact moment we lost us
was it one evening when yet again i didn't greet you with a hug and a kiss
or was it when she looked at you at just the right moment and made you question          things
i know it doesn't matter now but it makes me wonder about meeting someone that you thought was your soul mate
i thought you were mine but soul mates don't steal your trust and crush your heart
you kept stripping my heart of the love it deserved until i realized i was the fool
i was the fool for allowing my heart to be stomped upon
but no more
my heart is still healing and i know it will never be the same
it will always have the imprint of your love, as well as the memory of hurt and pain
but will be ready to love again...
