The mirror

I look in the mirror and see traces of you
Left behind from years ago
Why did I do it?
Its been too long
You didn’t deserve it
All I got in return was your silence
Could you see through it?
Could you see me?
The image was never clear
You could never see me

Untitled 3

When I first met you I realized two things fairly quickly. One, that I could and would fall for you if I allowed myself to and two, that you would hurt me. It went beyond my trust issues. I could sense it. I could feel it.

Untitled 2

I remember the moment I realized it
A tear escaped, but you didn’t notice
Did you notice?
Could you see it?
You had me at your beck and call from day one
You asked I answered
Just a phone call away
I’m one of many

Untitled 1

Black and blue
Eyes heavy
I wasn’t meant for this

When I was younger I was light
Pure
Whole
I resembled radiance
I had a good heart despite the ugly
Every person that came and went dimmed me

Unbalanced

It catches the light a certain way and blinds me
Back and forth
Left to right
You built a wall out of fear
Brick by brick
Left me to be crushed underneath it
Only ever giving in just enough to convince me there’s any good in you
The scale always tips in your favor

Self deception

Wandering in the dark
Lost in my brain
More so lost in my heart
Some sort of confusion
You dragged me through a path full of delusion
Let you think I didn’t know
Let you think I was weak
The moon spoke to me of the unknown
She confirmed the worst
She shone light upon your trickery
Put down your sword
Let me see all that you are
For now I see your arms wrap around me
But I no longer feel them
