Before This Day
I gave you every ounce of me, I can barely move, i gave you all my heart had to give, it's in a dark place. I know it hurt to let me go but you don't need to rub your happiness in my face.

Broken Pieces
Pills scattered across the floor, as I watch you pick through an assortment of different pharmaceutical remedies, all I can see is broken pieces. They are no longer medication, but have become your damnation. No longer an excuse to get high, but your only escape, the only way you can hide from the pain & self-hate that tears you apart from the inside. Internal scars you try to hide, not from others, but from yourself. Moderation has become nothing but a vocabulary word, & I sit here watching you, silently, because I know nothing I’d say would be heard.

He Is My Dream
My life was bland and grey Before he rode into it Long tiring sighs for days to end Now my heart screams!"Look, see, I've found him. The catcher of my sighs!"He's chained my heart to his voiceI can't run away from his smileHe paints my dreams and waking momentsMy hear laid out a million miles. Rainy days are like summer heatsIn this game of love my resistance is losingHe's like nothing I have felt beforeA voice of calm he hasTempting and soothing.In the pocket of my mindI carry himHe'll never fallI resist but he's my guilty pleasureMy sin.My world is brighter and more colourfulHe's in my world nowHe has become, my vivid dream.

Sunlight from Another Life
She bathed beneath the gorgeous summer light that seemed to shine from another life Stretched out beneath the vast shades of green leaves that mimicked whispers she had heard before

There's nothing new to write... Only the same words in the same sheet. The birdcage is open, my thoughts disperse like origami birds... What's written on them?
