Steaming

Tonight I stood crying silent tears in the shower, my anger and sadness mixed in with the water. When I stepped out and dried myself off in the mirror, my eyes held emotions that couldn't be clearer. They held the hatred for him and all he did upon me, including the revenge in my head...I …

Doormat

When you locked me outyou didn't throw away the key. You just hid it from my sight... Underneath what laid right in front of me.

Refreshing

Last night you failed to pollute my dreams with your familiar face... And I awoke feeling refreshed and freed from by your ghostly embrace.

Bottled

Go ahead. Bottle up your broken promises and empty oaths... Seal it tight with glue made from your ghosts. Hide it safe and don't ever let it shatter... Your words to me will never fucking matter.

Blemishes

The heart was made to be covered over the years by notches, nicks, indents, and scratches... Every pore and crevice created one by oneto forever hold a piece of every story.
