How can she expect anything more?
She cleans
She stays in shape
She schedules
Does their homework
Keeps them clean
Keeps them dressed
But doesn’t “try”
So, of course
Daddy is always the best
Defeat
A Shifting World
Rotate the shifts in my world
The blueberries need picked from my sky
The roses need plucked from the rivers
And I’ve gone abnormally wry
Take What Eyes Can See
My charity for you
Is to learn the business of me
See what I can do
Take what eyes can see
Let me show you something
That’ll give humanity its toll
If I could teach you one thing
It’s to never give up hope
Pull Me Through
Sing me a lullaby
And help me pull through
Can’t be touched by anyone
Unless it’s you
Need you for safety
Remind me, don’t lie
That you’ll be there forever
You’ll help me get by
Tainted Memory
Give me an excuse to laugh,
Even though life is falling apart.
Without you here to hold my hand,
My heart’s twisting and growing tart
Mirrors turn away from me.
Eyes dim for everyone I see.
Without you here with me,
I’m lost and forever will bleed.
Now I sit as the villain in the story.
With all doors shut, people glance away.
You’re no longer my prince charming
After you left and refused to stay.
But what makes me the monster
after you turned my heart to gold?
You ripped the value from me
And whispered I’m wrecked. Now disposed.
Was I never worthy of you?
Or did you like to watch me bleed?
I gave everything to love you.
Forever a tainted memory.
I Just Need You Here With Me
My mind is always in turmoil
Because all it wants is you
A sinking ship without any hope
A love overdue
Busy life overtakes us
Like a storm over the sea
I’m drowning trying to be with you
I just need you here with me
I Need To Know You
Love ached.
It tore.
It burned.
It took every piece of me and never gave it back.
Lost and withered,
my soul searched for something.
Anything to let it breathe.
At least one more time.
I need to feel something.
Anything.
I need to know you again.
Let Me
Let me become your nebula
Let me atomize the love that’s me
Let me fill your head with wonder
A clouded future, a lock and key
Let me open myself up to you
Let me paint your dark profound
I promise if I’m given freedom
My true self will be unbound
Closure
The closure of my heart took work.
Many said I shouldn’t do it.
That being numb would be a shame and a sin.
But here I am.
Still able to care. To help. To now see things more clearly.
Like how closing my heart helped me escape you.
I would rather live in perseverance.
Not caged in a false and painful love.
You Are
You are my everything
From cloud cover on a burning hot day
To shelter from a devastating storm
You are my only
You are my lover
You are my happy tears
