Without You

The beginning. 
I remember it so well. 
The way we were imprinting. 
How you made my heart swell. 

As time drew on, we fell apart. 
It started with you. 
Pulling away and trying to depart.
Wanting to leave me and ensue
A life without the little thing you left build inside me.
I was a fool. 
I pulled you back despite your flee.
Looking back, you were cruel. 

Or so it seemed back then. 
Turn time to the present.
I saw you were another mad men.
I stayed longer than I meant.
Raising a kid with you.
I dealt with the abuse and torment. 
She saw it too.
That was never my intent..

I'm trying so hard to fix my life.
Cause I'm sharing with her.
She deserves right. 
So I can't deter.
I'm attempting to leave. 
I'm scared to say it. 
I feel like you'll be frustrated.

I'm so tired of trying. 
Of lying.
Crying.
Complying. 
Of dying.
The pressure of falsifying.

I can't follow the rules of your game anymore.
I dropped out before we were halfway through.
So here I am, standing by the door. 
Wanting to pursue
A new life without you.

My Ending

The balance between both break apart. This happens to the one close at heart. Though the road turns coarse and rough, we shall both stand and be tough. Peace is far from our reach. But so are the lies in which we speak. The hope that we will still be, is enough to let us see; the emptiness we feel inside, our tears that make the tide. We shall stand as one, as the shadows uncover the sun. This pounding in my chest. The heart, it chooses the best. My ending pictured in my head. "Suicidal.", they all said. Others nod in agreement. One is trying to repent. This ending of mine come swift and beautiful. Let me hover off the ground. Let me feel safe and sound. Perhaps a blade be a better fitting. But only I can do this bidding. These whispers, building my trust. Shh... Can you hear them? I know you must. Tell me then? Why you would die. Stand next to me and sigh. Alone as I may seem, I need not you to set me free.

Depressing Sleep

Deep in my depression, I lay myself down to sleep. I close my eyes and then I start to weep. I dream I'm in the sky and see Heaven. So I take a peek. God stands before me and tells me it's ok. But through my eyes it's not and I leap. Falling through my thoughts I sort out my emotions. I undo this ruining and make myself a potion. I live for the morrow. Not for the night. My feelings now sorted out, I wake up in a fright. Who am I and what am I doing? Standing on this edge of this building. How did I get here? Was this my ruling? I know now that it was and I look down. I feel like smiling, but yet I wear a frown. So I turn around, live my life and wear it upside down.

Reminisce

It'll take you a life time to figure me out.
You'll see it's true, no doubt about. 
I'm more than I appear to be. 
Despite what you already think of me. 

I sometimes feel weak and insecure. 
I know I show it to you. 
But don't focus on my sores.  
I'm strong and confident. 
It may not show much. 
So when it does, be cognizant. 

I truly hope you don't run away, cause you've been 
 running through my mind all of these past days. 
I think it's unfair that I met you at a time like this. 
Where most of the time I can only reminisce, about the 
 times I've seen you and times we've kissed. 

F***.. I'm sorry. 
I wish it didn't have to be like this. 
Cause you're pretty amazing and can make me feel at bliss. 
But life's full of ups and downs and I was just hoping I could fix your frown. 
So pardon me if I seem too excited. 
I just can't stand to see you drown.
