A Mere Reflection

November 10th, 2009

I experienced things
That you didn’t know
I got hurt
But it didn’t show
I heard things
You didn’t hear
I kept close to me
Things only I would fear
It only hurt me
I brought it too near
But you can’t feel the pain
In the reflection of the mirror

Tucked Away

March 30th, 2023

You never got the poem you deserved
After all the pain that you endured
You only got the worst of me
My confusion and uncertainty
You were the best guy that I’ve dated
But my past left me jaded
I was feeling like an imposter
So I didn’t let my feelings foster
I was happy in those moments with you
Even if there were so few
To give up somebody who was so kind
Who never tried to play with my mind
The only one to put me first
And yet I treated you the worst
So I’m sorry for the way things came to an end
I understand why you don’t want to be my friend

My Bones

January 20th, 2011

Her hair was red
Just like fire
She was my weakness
My desire
She led me to my bed
Then left me all alone
Things never felt right
When I was all alone
Her red hair went away
She never wanted to stay
I loved her
And she let me slip away
I wasn’t a priority
My pain was cause I cared
But any time I needed you
You were never there
I let you play my heart
I let you in my head
I loved you to my bones
But you f*cked me over instead
I didn’t want you anymore
But now my hair is red
And you’re no longer here
So I take her to my bed
