Between The Lines

July 14th, 2023

I think I could have loved you
I think I got so close
But I think you forgot to tell me
Details that were never disclosed
You posted in April
About going through a breakup
And when I asked about it
Excuses were made up
I chose to see what I wanted
But the truth is there somewhere
Your divorce seemed sooner than you let on
Was this a rebound love affair?
The post was deleted
Seeds of doubt in my mind
In the past I ignored red flags
But I’m not blind
I need to do
What is best for me
I told you the truth
I don’t think we’d be happy
One night I’m sleeping
Sound in your shirt
Then the next I’m in bed
Knowing you think I’m the worst

Trash

December 2nd, 2020

Mascara settles around my eyes
Into crevices like dust
Excuses litter around me
The trash you never picked up
Yet I’m swept under a rug
And the thread’s coming undone
Only so much left to lose
Before I must succumb

Rage

January 18th, 2018

I’m pissed off, I’m angry
I’m bubbling inside
I can’t be around you
Just please let me hide
I make up excuses
But you don’t deserve one
You think this is a game
Yet it’s not any fun
I’m helpless around you
You have me in scrambles
I don’t know what to say
I do nothing but ramble
I’m falling to pieces
And I see you don’t care
I’m clenching my fists
But I wouldn’t dare
I wrote you a note
But I threw it away
You don’t even respond
When I only said hey
So I cried all my tears
And I’m over it
But if you push me again
I might make the first hit
