Naked In Front of You

What would you do,
if I were to stand naked in front of you?
Would you laugh and tear me apart,
if I were to show you my real heart?
Would you find it too dark to face,
or would you find my mind a beautiful place?
If I were to stand in front of you fully exposed,
would you take that journey with me if proposed?
Would you hold my hand or let go,
if you found out about my pain and sorrow?
Would you kiss away the tears,
or would you further feed my fears?
Would you follow me to the depths of my imagination?
Could you handle the ramification?
What would you do,
if I were to stand naked in front of you?

I Am Broken Strength

Funny, kind, caring, crazy,
these are the words used to describe me.
Little do they know I paint on a mask,
Smiling day in and day out is such a daunting task.

I wake up every day and find the strength for the never ending,
because on me, my kids are depending.
I show them every day forward is the only direction,
They don’t know what it’s like to battle depression.

What I would give for them reaches far and wide,
ignoring the feeling burning deep inside.
I make sure they never feel this pain,
and I show them every day to dance in the rain.

The light at the end of the tunnel shines bright,
and that is where I set my sight.
Though I may be broken and torn,
A suit of armor will always be worn.

Dependant

I need your embrace
I need the warmth that you give
Only love I've known

The Addiction

Burning skin soothes my soul.
Anything to get out of my mind.
As the motion intensifies,
I feel the vice grip tighten.
It is here I have the power.
The hate and heat runs through my veins, 
I need to extinguish the air from my lungs.
I need to reach this ultimate high.
My hands are clammy and I can’t stop shaking,
I’m pleading to be sent over the edge of this reckoning. 
My heart beat slows and my breathing mellows,
Reality sets in and I feel the shame.
I’ve fed this addiction again.

Un-Beautiful Beauty

She contemplates her purpose,
She pushes down to release the buildup of emotions.
Too young to go through these daily battles.
Why is she here when all she gets is pain?
She has to deal with such hate for something she never did.
A love that should have been unconditional and protecting,
A love that should have never been tainted.
But as she sat there pushing to release the pain,
As she sat there wondering why,
She realized mother’s love far outweighed her father’s hate.
After the truth came out and the dust settled,
She knew she was a blessing to the one that gave her life.

Why Did I

Bitterness courses through my veins
Who do you think you are to say the things you say?
I should have never given you the reigns
All these games I’m watching you play.

Who was I to think you had changed?
All these hoops I’ve willingly jumped through
Feeling so stupid with everything I have rearranged
Everyone is broken inside, not just you.

So angry with myself for giving my heart so willingly
All the night I just sat there and cried
I’ve made too many decisions hastily
And as a result, another part of my soul has died.

You’ve had me mind, body and soul
I was just never worth getting that in return
You can’t handle what it takes to make me whole
Today is the day the double standards burn.

Time

Time is not a friend.
Time does not heal all wounds.
Time does not make you forget.
Time does not stop the hurt.
Time does not stop the memories.
Time does not......stop.
A smell,
a song,
a forgotten note,
a picture.
All of these things can erase all of the progress to move forward.
No, time has nothing to do with it.
The only relief is nothing lasts forever.
Eventually you breathe again,
smile more,
and eventually your heart turns to stone.
That one reminder why it was that way to begin with.
Time gives us lessons,
a manual on how to navigate the future.
Now it is "time" to move on.

Perfect

Broken emotions
Bruised hearts and egos
Silent screams of desperate pleas
Suffocating lungs
Tear stained faces
Sharp blades shooting from beautiful lips
Cold beds and sleepless nights
Lost to a dark future
Restrained from a darker past
Smiling through the pain
A love so dark it shines
A pain so deep, it’s soothing
Emotions so strong, they’re controlling
A love so unconditional, it will be forever binding 
A person so flawed, they’re perfect.

What Did I Do

You had me pegged from the beginning,
you knew exactly what you were doing.
You knew exactly how to take advantage,
how I let it happen, I cannot manage.
All the distance you put between us,
now looking at myself with such disgust.
I ignored all the red flags,
now trying to find the strength to pack my bags.
Believing you really cared,
telling myself I had no reason to be scared.
Trying to make me feel like I was the cause of all of our problems,
acting like you had no part in them.
Trying to find out why I am not worthy of love,
but only as a stepping stone for someone else to get above.
So tired of always being used,
What did I do to deserve to be mentally abused?

Blue Sappires

The skies outside cry for my broken heart
The tears pouring down my window
How does one find the strength to get up and restart?
All that's left is the aftermath on my pillow

The loneliness has become catastrophic
Leaving me lost in my thoughts
Something so special that ended up so toxic
Now I'm drowning in whiskey shots

You are afraid of the crash
Scared to let it continue to be good
It's left my soul bleeding from the gash
Why you are afraid to be happy, I never understood 

Eventually the skies will clear and the rain will end
The blue sappires will not swim in the red sea
There really is no reason to pretend 
It is time to lay this to rest and let it be
