Used to

I used to have pride,

Now it’s just pain.

Used to have dignity,

Now only shame.

I used to see skies,

Now only rain.

Too used to scolding,

Then cowering away.

I used to be alive,

Now I’m walking to my grave.

Too used to losing

My mind everyday.

voicemail

just found that voicemail,

from the day after we met.

never thought we could fail,

even fell in love with your pet.

remember how it changed me,

brought my soul back to life.

wishing we were meant to be,

instead punctured by your rotting knife.

you saved me that night,

but where are you now?

nowhere in sight,

if only i knew why or how.

used

i thought i found the one,

feeling confident in who you were.

attracted by all you'd done,

but you only wanted her.

im used to it,

always the rebound.

thinking you were different,

left here on the ground.

not sure when this trend started,

constantly the easy target.

my feelings disregarded,

thinking i saw the spark lit.

i guess im the type you use,

the one where you commit then dip.

i seem to have meant nothing to you,

but its ok, im used to it.

You once called me your angel

Enshroud in white,

The reason for your halo

I've become your devil

The source of your darkness,

The reason for your downfall

Don't Find Me

I can’t stand on my own

In this beautiful place, this beautiful place behind you

And I can’t sleep alone

In my tormented world, my tormented world don’t find me

Where is it I belong?

Am I just too far gone?

I’m gone...

Rooftops aside,

We’re all compromised.

Out for the cure,

No one sings at all.

Don’t find me

- Sincerely, Anonymous

Like a weed in a garden,

First love is a nuisance.

A flowering memory I try so desperately hard to destroy.

Yet whenever I think you’re gone for good,

The thought of you only grows back stronger.

Infiltrating my mind,

Forever reappearing.
