You are destined for greatness,
Yet you do not even know,
You have such passionate feelings,
Yet you never let them show.
...

Sorrow in my soul,
Deep like rivers and oceans,
My mind is locked inside itself,
And I've lost the key,
...

Tears in my eyes
But there's no time for rain.
My heart is like a window:
Nothing but pain.
...

Lies wrap around you.
Suffocating,
Reciprocating,
It started with a school of little white lies,
...

He cared for me like no one else,
He knew me better
Than I ever knew myself.
Time turned and twisted what once was
...

My body is tired
My mind is old
My heart is lonely
My soul is cold
...

I am a woman
Weak, willful
Deceitful to some
The world shows me no mercy.
...

The wind whispers sweet nothings in my ear,
The rain pours down on my head slowly,
Even God sheds an occasional tear.
The body becomes weak,
...

A wise man builds his home
Carefully choosing his cornerstone
Ensuring that the home's foundation is strong
A fool builds his home
...

My tears flow
like torrential rain.
My heart is drowning in
existential pain.
...

The present is a present
There is no time like it
Like most things in life
Time just keeps moving forward
...

The violent wind blows cold, freezing in a once beautiful field
The tall grass is dead and gone replaced
By the charred yet frozen soil of a wintery death.
Barren, isolated, solitary
...

I can smell a set up from a mile away,
The ripe stench of your obvious lies
Cover the walls of my mind.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see
...

Tremors flutter from my fingers
Up the left side of my body to my brain
Blinding pain,
A force greater than myself
...

Your hands caress me
Like rolling waves on to the sandy beaches of Paradise
Your kisses bless me
Your love is holy and sacred
...

Inseperable,
Since what seemed like birth,
They had the tightest bond,
On the face of the earth,
...

As I look into your eyes
I can see myself
I see that when I'm with you
I become someone else.
...

I wish you saw me
The way I see you
Then perhaps
You wouldn't act the way you do.
...

Clothes torn-
Tattered,
laying in a pool of blood and DNA on the floor
swimming in negligence.
...

You are the shackles
Locked around my heart
Imprisoning me with your venomous lies
What you claim to be
...
