I remember you

Things that annoyed me
Every fight we ever had
How you betrayed me
Your words like razors

All the times we cried
Every single breakup
How I broke your spirit
When I abandoned you

We broke ourĀ hearts
Slowly killing each other
Suffocating underneath
A pile of hurtful words

But most of all I remember
The joy you brought me
The walls we built together
Against the world outside

We took the game too far
You paid the highest price
I’m still here, hurting
Miserable and alone

Dreaming of my days with you

Goodnight

I don’t want to say goodnight
Watch you turn your back
And walk away

Words stuck in my throat
Almost spoken out loud
“Please stay”

Memories of your hand in mine
Your scent on my clothes
An echo of you

Reluctantly walking away
Sleep well my princess
And dream of us

Your fortress

You spent a lifetime building walls
Barriers to shield you from all evil
Comfortably living your life

With three words I tore down your walls
I broke in to your fortress with a smile
I thrust my love upon you

You hesitantly gave me your trust
I reassured you everything was fine
I promised I would protect you

You no longer have your walls
You are exposed and hurt
I failed to protect you

Endless nights I’m thinking of you
Asking myself what went wrong
Could I have done any different

Should I have left you alone
Alone and safe in your fortress
Numbing the feelings I had

Judging my actions and thoughts
Adding my honest intentions
Subtracting all of your pain

Did I give more than I took away?

Insomnia

Another hopeless night is born
Frustration follows dusk
Sleep is far away

Twisting and turning in my bed
Thoughts of you carry me
Far away from home

Where you and I are happy
Together frozen in time
A place of harmony

Gray morning enters my room
Once again alone in bed
My sleepless night

A precious night with you

Once again

Your deep slumber is keeping you safe
Are you dreaming of days to come?

Slowly drifting away from me, out of reach
Will you ever find your way back to me?

If I reach out my hand to you
Will you let me save you, once again?

If I hold on to you
Will you save me, once again?

Words

My words reached out to you
Words brought us together
I travelled a thousand miles
With the click of a button

Poured my life into your hands
An endless stream of words
You devoured me completely
Always ready for more

With words you reeled me in
Your passion called to me
Your words pointed at me
Dared me to feel you

You know exactly who I am
But you don’t run away
Your words have given me
A place to call home

Forgive me not

Amidst the remains you lie
Surrounded by broken promises
Crushed hope your cover
Filled with pain and sadness
Shattered dreams your pillow
Drenched with tears of disappointment

Misery a daily meal
Misjudged, mistreated
A prison I forced upon you
Can I release you
Can I ease your pain
No matter what
Forgive me not
