An error filled canvas.
Marks of past mistakes,
Almost erased
But never do they fade
...

Let introduce myself

I am ____
...

In the middle of a disaster, I created
For myself, and myself only.
You come and you come to save me.
And though it’s been a while
...

I think I should just take these feelings,
Take them, and hide them.
Away from you.
Away from intruders
...

Hidden from the cameras
You frame inside your mind
Just behind your eyes,
I cry.
...

You can have my past
wrapped up like a present
and tied with a bow,
so crimson, it almost glows
...

You remind me of a time when I knew who I was.
but like always
the second hand on the clock catches us
it always does
...

A look, a glimpse, not a phrase
was all you ever needed to determine my place
I’m not, never was nor will I ever be the perfect illusion of perfection
I think, perhaps, I never learned the definition
...

and wash away the process I’ve made
or at least pretended to make
Things shouldn’t have ended like that.
Things shouldn’t be like this
...

as least for the moment
you look at me
I want to know
you find me the
...

I sometimes watch
and wave at
but I never take a step to her
that old friend of mine,
...

and I fall hostage to my emotions again,
it’s grip grows tighter upon the beating of my heart,
and I hold on tighter to the sorrow,
that’s become all I know anymore
...

to see beyond what I knew
but you took my hand
and you led me to
the telescope
...

and I lose my place
and everything that made me,
the person I used to be
bleeds out of me,
...

you’ll never say.
and I’m losing things,
I never had.
and I’m falling in holes
...

You couldn’t face all the things I knew I had to say,
because you knew you had already let go, of all I hold on to
and we both knew love wasn’t a game of tug of war,
but we both pulled the strings of the others heart,
...

than a picture on a wall
with a story to tell
and a mouth to tell it
but we keep it concealed
...

all it took was for you
to break the ice
and I fell through the cracks
and I felt the ice
...

I never pushed you away
I just moved you aside
to save you
for a time
...

I was desperately searching for something
in the places that it could never exist
and I didn’t even know what it was
I just had a fragmented picture in my mind
...
