That perfect ring
Made of gold
Slips from my finger
As the story unfolds.....
Thought that I had found
A love to last,
Escaped the demons
Of my past.
But pure evil
Is what I found
Not my long sought dream
Of a safer ground,
Endless pain
Seems to be my path;
Never learned how
To escape it's wrath.
So now
Here alone I sit
Stupidly lost
In this bottomless pit
And how I love
The way you manipulate
All your love
Now turns to hate
Crucifying me for
All your sins,
Leaving me tangled
In that web of lies
You live in.
And here is where
I don't want to be
Here is where I never thought
I'd find you and me,
Betrayal was once
A long forgotten friend
Making me believe
Someday soon I'd mend;
But those lies
Can't be laid to rest
Especially when they
Continue to infest.
And this love,
This perfect love
I thought would live
No longer has any give;
Picture perfect
Was this place
Picture perfect
Till I watched it erase.
Watched that picture perfect love
Turn cold
As you laid a new one
Out like a centerfold,
And now that
You want me back
Compassion is what I lack.
There is no love left
Here where hate breeds,
No place left
For your demon's to feed
I've turned my back
And fogotten you
Maybe it's time you do too.

Jodi Vance Poem
In the mouth of madness
Is where I now lie
My comfortably numb sadness
Surrounding like a lullabye,
Such a sickening sweet melody
Just for one moment
I'd like to detach you from me.
I'm tripping up on memories
Still in love with a fantasy
Thought that somewhere in you and I
I could find a we;
But in the end all I had was me.
Here alone with undescribable pain
You found that one part
No one else could drain,
Stripped me away layer by layer
You are my own personal heart slayer
Just bleeding me dry
One drop at a time
Soon enough there'll be nothing left
I'll just die, drifting away
With a drug induced smile
I've medicated my life away
To feel happy for a short while.
It's cold and numb
Beneath the surface
I'ts like the blind leading the dumb
Searching for my purpose.
I thought I had found
The meaning of it all
But I was just gagged and bound
A slave to my downfall.

Jodi Vance Poem
Time will pass,
Things will change
And my tears
Will still fall
Steady as the rain.
And I am
All but lost
In this pathetic mess,
I wanted so much more
But ended up with less.
Now I'm back
To nothing
And only myself
To blame
Back to my own
Self-inflicted pain.
And nothing shines brighter
Than this cross I bare;
Nothing hurts more than to know
That you no longer care,
And the fault
Is all my own
I'm reaping the chaos
That I have sown.
Lonliness my well known friend
Will surely be there
Till the bitter end
Mocking my guilt and despair
With lively eyes
Reminding me incessantly
I've drowned myself
In my own lies.
