It Was Fine… Until You Showed Up"

"It Was Fine… Until You Showed Up"

You know, sometimes you don’t see the warning signs

Not until you're burned and bruised.

Sometimes people cry and remember you

Only when you cross their mind.


The words you spoke were simple,

But today they sting like a swarm of bees.

These same words we toss around now and then

Yet they cut deep when I think of them.


I was too far gone to notice

The dangers lurking all around.

I was unreachable when your friends

Pointed straight at the arrow heading for me.


I forgot pride comes before the fall.

Now those words make sense,

Because I was the girl in the mirror.


Your lies coated every truth,

Wrapped around me so tight

I no longer know the way home.

Warnings meant nothing until now.

And wishes… they don't have wings, do they?


It’s crazy how I still clung

To the idea of you,

Even after realizing

You were the devil of my soul.


I thought you were worth the pain,

But maybe I was having too much fun

To see the damage.


Now my heart is bound

Familiar with constant agony.

I keep feeding it painkillers,

Temporary relief,

Hoping healing waits at the end of the tunnel.


We sit and talk,

Woolgathering over the good old days,

Trying to understand

Why the tears never stop?


We sit and try to agree

You are not ours anymore.


My head won’t stop spinning,

My heart won’t stop hurting.

It was fine… and then you showed up.

Now we can’t find the path

That once called to us.


The empty calls return

Bringing chaos.


Beauty drains from my heart.

God watches her cry each day,

Shattering the mirror even more.


The girl who prayed for love

Now rests in her hell,

Wishing her wishes away,

Her blessings cursed

Like Lucifer’s music:

Beautiful,

But ugly once you start to dance.


Now I understand

Why do so many choose to end it all?

The Friend I Never Chose

-
ANGER One time , I saw you with your friends, accompanied by those random girls you toyed with. I wasn’t alone either, and you knew we’d just get drunk. But that’s what you hate most about me. And there you were, holding another girl by the waist Saying more with that than words ever could. I was upset. My friends pulled me away. We never said good night. Your team was playing that night, But I couldn’t sleep while everyone else drowned in liquor. I slipped into my friend’s closet, thinking of how to punish you. So I popped the pills. The saddest thing that night? They found me before the knockout. So they saved you, I guess from being haunted. FEAR You stopped talking to me. Stopped picking up my calls You knew how much that kills me. But you did it anyway. You lived like I was already history. So I got drunker. Sleep became a stranger , nightmares came in your voice. So I stayed out longer, drinking deeper. Even the cat's cry scared me. The wi...

"When Stars Stop Listening

-
One time, I stayed awake, telling each star about you. I made them pray with me. I wrote to the moon, again and again, confessing how deeply I loved you. I would sit and dream,  about a happy ever after. Life felt good. But then the clouds came and the stars disappeared with you. My heart broke. So I began praying to the clouds, begging them to help me forget. The fairest said love was real, that if I kept hoping and wishing, You’d return to me. But I wasn’t cautious. I didn’t know that our minds could create demons. Now, I swear I take each wish back. I was led astray by my mind for you. I know better now. They say pain brings out your best And maybe it did. After all the long nights, crying, breaking things, heartaches, headaches I promised myself it was over. Time may have led you to me, But not for good. The excuses I made, The mistakes I carried, The risks I took for you They scarred me. And yet, I'm glad my body is falling apart because maybe then I...
