Your broken relationship.

Mend the Broken
it lasted not long enough
the realized unrequited love of mine
we didn't even get the chance
to fight our lungs out
we didn't hug, we didn't kiss
we talked, hardly to each other
it was broken from the start
I should have know
we weren't meant to be together
we were both broken
too broken to mend each other
Defeated Vexation
Four years.
Four.
Years.
And I can count the number of times on my worn out hand.
This is beyond the point of frustration.
Beyond the point of masochism.
In no just world should someone like Me
be allowed to fall for someone like You.
In no version of the universe where fairness exists
should we be so perfect for each other in every Other way.
Our first years reduced to on again off again status
because 'you weren't ready'.
And then Finally. Finally.
Finally!
After almost three years that I don't know How I survived.
And there I was expecting that to be the breaking point.
That from then on we'd be like my first;
clothing shed the Second we were alone
(and sometimes when we weren't).
But no, back to my seclusion.
After that first time, a week.
Then a month.
Then longer.
I fairly howl in rage when you say I could be more assertive;
if I took the initiative, yes, you would give me what I want.
But that's the problem, isn't it;
you're Giving, as a favor, as a courtesy.
You try to deny it yet you sneer in disgust at the slightest mention of the topic!
And I've grown tired of the arguments.
I've grown tired of you telling me I'm wrong
while your every action screams that I'm Right.
And honestly, while I still love you,
while I'll always love you,
while we'll be together forever,
your lack of desire has caused my overactive lust
to start to desert you.
Preprogrammed
Your words are so violent
You might as well use your fists to
Deliver blows I can't hide
In my mess of scars
And you can deny your fault
With lowered eyes and a taste
Of the guilt that is leaving me with
Lifeless expressions and an empty stomach
My pain filled eyes beg for help
But your anger's burn is searing my flesh
Causing my pupils to contract and scream
"SO THIS IS WHAT LOVE HAS COME TO BE!?"
I calmly explain I had no choice and
Tell you to stop rolling your angry eyes
So you can close them tight
And visualize this possibility:
Maybe I was under a spell
Maybe I was in distress
Maybe I am a robot preprogrammed
To mutilate myself
Now don't you feel the fool
For screaming at my cuts
When all I needed
Was something to stop the blood?

Thoughts of you
Light and dark
can be found in
my heart.
My head is
filled with thoughts
of the living and
the dead.
My feelings chase
each other round
and round, for
they can not be
bound.
My mind is twisted
in thought and
wonder.
I plunder through
my head and contemplate
why I want you dead.
I sit in silents
and secretly wish
that you were dead.
Thoughts of suicide
run through my head
as I stood by the bed.
You in my head
and, me wanting
you dead instead.
I don't know exactly
why, all this is in
my head. But I'm
certain you will be dead.
I trusted you once
and I trusted you
twice, but you rolled
the dice.
You're just out
of luck and you're
lies were caught.
So...
drop dead
you
backstabbing
cheater.
I want you out of my head,
but instead you wind up back
in my bed, and on your chest
is where I rest my head.
Oh how I wish you were dead.

A Cold Night
I can live through this night
When the world is asleep.
There was a time when i was busy now,
You were moaning and murmuring in my ears
The holiest words of the soul of the world.
And I took you up in my arms not realising the morning was drawing near,
I didnt bring the curtains down,to prevent the light from coming in,
O our sweet darkness!!
For I was sure that our blanket would keep away all the glares far.
But the dawn had arrived much before,
And the bright light blinded your eyes.
You were so blind- you failed to look
that my hands werent enough to bring the curtains down.
And you never lent me your hands.
The light faded away all the fairytale dreams
waking me up.
I thought I could but I failed to control the light.
Now I stand awake in the cold night!
Though I have drawn the curtains this time,
The blanket is gone forever.
It is too cold and this night seems harsh-
Its tough but am trying to stay awake,
Hoping that you will once again cover me with the blanket.

The Change That Broke Me
Loved the grey smokey eyes, the half crooked smile almost like he had the seductive, quiet taunting thing going on... His laugh was intoxicating and filled my soul with hope of a real and true love, deep the kind you see in the movies, but that all came to a hault when the truth surfaced!!! Lies since the day we met, cheating with his X, the anger, the rage, abuse became my home... Now the feeling of being stuck, no way out is the broken soul I dwell in now, haunted by my inability to see through the chaos I thought was LOVE!!!!

My Lady Is Broken
I don't recall ever feeling this defeated
Heart, mind and soul depleted
Soaked by the tides of my desperation
Her love absent without explanation
The space between us no longer measured in distance
My heart fights back with endless persistence
This chill in the air survives a thousand fires
Suddenly a stranger to all her desires
If she would only show me the colour that began this decline
I would paint over it white, bright and divine
Silence that brings a deafening sound
My heart pumping fear with every pound
Love shows it's cruelty, refusing to hide
Every minute I stay I die more inside
All I can hear now are the words she can't say
Maybe this is a dream and i will wake one day
My lady is broken.

COVET
thoughts of you drench my mind,
i pull at my hair and scram out loud.
needing you here from the kiss of your lips.
every moment with you makes me all mad,
remember from lust of all we had
Beyond my imagination,Killed my inner silence.
in a waste of shame you bought me violence.
from the sunny valleys sought for the open sea,
emotionally desterbed waves drank of me.
mass fluid frightens me and extinguishes the light.
i cant brake free i cant find it in me.
were you there or just a image in my dream. such voice to the experience of disaster.
day after day, that just dosnt go by,
you taunt thy love and then deny.
The person I seem goes carelessly, Gradually disappearing
into the night.
Hiding away from the lover's eye.
standing alone, give all and taking nothing.
voices tell, to stand for one brief space,
Unfettered, soul to soul, from my face to face.
Could i but learn
could i but guess
only but i foretell my story of distress

Time
Am I feeling better??
How could I feel better
when nothing has changed?
everything is still the same
the tears
the pain
the building rage.
the struggle
the fight
the sleepless nights
the painful thoughts in my mind
do I seem better to you?
How am I?
How should I be?
when you say
you need me
completely contradicting
everything
you said to me.
that you would
never be okay
and you don't
have the strenght
to deal with me this way
so you tell me
how am I
what am I going to do?
you put the
decision on me
so you can
keep your hands clean
and remain guilt free
and everyone can think
that I'm the selfish one
You make up
your mind
and decide
that you need some time
and I look like the bad guy
so I don't know
what to do!

One step forward, Two steps back
As I hold you tightly in my arms
Tearfully you try to break free
But you seem not to realise
I can't simply let you go
After all that we have been through
You can't just walk away
The words we told each other hurt, I know
But can we forsake what we have
because of words said in the heat of the moment
I cannot deny that I never thoughts of those things I said
But I never wanted to say them to you
For without you who am I?
You, who stood by me when times were tough
When the weight of my world was too much for me
Times when thoughts of suicide were more of visions
You stood by my side, unwavering
You showed me that even in darkness, there is light
And thats why I cant let you go
Please don't hate me for being selfish
This dance you and I dance
This dance that Brings more misery than happiness
One day, we will get it right
One day, we will find a way to move forward
As I hold you tightly in my arms
Tearfully you try to break free
But you seem not to realise
I can't simply let you go
After all that we have been through
You can't just walk away
The words we told each other hurt, I know
But can we forsake what we have

One day, we will find a way to move forward
