family
broken, yet wise,
protected by its godly disguise.
never feeling surprised,
by the forever-flowing lies.
acting like the perfect family,
blended by the secrets.
always in misery,
sheltered by my weakness.
forced to believe in them,
blessed by their solemn hymn.
constantly having to pretend,
eternally their burdened victim.
family,
a reckless fairytale.
endlessly, the unwanted cavity.
waisting away in their jail.

Alone
Holding on, only to watch you slip away.
Tears pour down my face as I watch you walk astray.
I can’t bear it, to see your shadow in the distance.
For a while, only you made up my existence.
I first saw you enshroud in light.
Now I stand here, alone, and it’s dark as night.
Your strong flame, once vividly alive
Now flickering, fighting to survive.
I watched you slip away, our relationship dissolve
I thought it was all my fault, but there was little to resolve.
Each day your urge to fight slid down an undeniable slope.
Now each day that passes, I lose nothing but hope.

did it hurt?
did it hurt to hear me
sobbing, with broken memories
as you stared through your phone
forcing me to feel alone?
did it hurt you
when you sat and refused to
believe in the only one
who promised they'd never run?
it seems it never did
but god forbid
i still refuse to ignore
the protective coat i once wore.
i hope it hurt you.
i hope you feel the pain i've been through.
you took the last breath i barely had,
and sent me spiraling, shattered and sad.

Freak
I’m stuck in a dream.
He’s there every time, but I just can’t stay.
Cause, something’s pulling me away.
I want to cover my face when I’m around you.
Yet, your hands cradle mine.
I don’t want to wake up this time.
Just leave.
Don’t cry.
I am only a freak.
Not worth the pain or the tears.
But, you still give me a place to stay.
Where I can curl in a ball.
I have to leave every time I wake.
And everyone can't remember who I am.
Even you.
