Silent voices
Bounce off of bare walls
I can hear the murmurs
Make their way down the hall
Can you hear them like me?
Can you feel their pain too?
If you could would you listen
The way that I do?

Control
I’m not broken
I’m not lost
I’m not searching
For half of a whole
I’m letting time
Reshape my pain
I’m not broken
But now in control
Lonely
I fell asleep alone last night
In my bed where the sheets take your place
It once was warm and filled with light
Now the dark fills your cold empty space
Grey Area
Not a friend nor a foe
Right or wrong? Neither knows
Fake a truce just to push away hate
Leave me hiding in fear
Can’t trust you or my tears
After waving your white flag too late
Reality
Looking for closure
Is really just your heart seeking
An alternate ending
To an inevitable reality
On My Own
Laughter slips through
The holes in my soul
And while you may have answers
Your words fall on a hollow heart
Reminding me that
Some places and most people
Aren’t here to help me heal
Third Degree
I cannot stray from the desire
To love with the intensity of a fire
Therefore I am the one to inevitably suffer
From the burns of my own manifested heat
Blame
Dusk turns to dawn
It was you all along
Hiding secrets alone in the dark
Will you sanction my pain?
Or continue this game
Where you pick and you pull me apart
Who Are You?
Who are you
at the end of the day?
Open and free
with your mask stripped away
Because all I received
was judgement and shame
In the end all I know is
your name and your pain
Defense Mechanisms
You often raise your voice
As if you are raising a gun
But while some holster a weapon
With the intent to kill
I see your loaded words
As merely an emotional shield
Used frequently and deliberately
With the intent to protect your ego
What's Mine Is Yours
