As the tears fall down my face,
your name I call. Leave no trace
of what you felt in your heart.
The big red welt was the start.
It tore me down, inside out;
made me the clown, left no doubt
to all around: those who saw
what won't be found 'til the thaw.
Whisper. Rumour. Words like greed.
I feel no humour in your deeds.
You cut me down: hard, fast, deep.
Out on the town you run free.
At home I lie facedown, flat.
Please don't ask why. Needless, that.
I know the deal with good-bye.
In time I'll heal. I won't cry
and waste my life over you,
or cause me strife. You weren't true.
Been here before. I know pain.
I was a door, yet again.
Enjoy the ride. On you pass.
I learned to slide, as on glass,
or rather slip; like black ice
not seen, I tripped. It was nice:
I always loved the joy ride.
took me above clouds. Glide
on currents smooth, light as air"
feel the breeze cool, free of cares.
Allow it to wash away
worries renewed. Live today.
Is it worth it? In the end?
Your not worth shit. Do not bend.
The violent fall doesn't last
and when it all hits home fast,
the pain - though real - is but brief.
Don't let it steal life through grief.
Keep your head high: you are strong.
Just keep in mind you weren't wrong.
He has chose these things to do'
your life's not his. Smile, too,
for he would hate to see it,
know he's too late to feel it
surrounding him: happiness,
love, you've given. Take a guess..
He misses you, always will.
Admit the truth: it's a thrill
knowing he does. Don't bother,
don't give in! You're not her.
You're not that same weakwilled girl
who took the blame from the churl
who broke your heart in pieces.
It's a new start. Best bet is
friends; change yourself, lean on these.
Get off the shelf. Just release
everything left, let it go.
Nothing's bereft. Now you know.
Let yourself free to be who
you wanna be... Simply you.

What is one to do when all around you
people lie to make you cry?
Fake smiles replace what once was true.
What will someone think when they watch me sink
down inside myself to hide?
I can not face the truth of you.
So here we now stand, lives sep'rate and bland.
While away the time of days
that once made race our hearts. How cruel.
What if just one call could erase it all?
Just one word to free the bird
that's now encased by steel and screw.
Would you take the chance? Repeat our dance?
Be love's tool, used like a fool.
My love's embrace wasted on you.
You once had my time. Pay dollar or dime,
I was yours. Reopen sores
long closed, to face pain caused anew.
Guess you're no better. Ex. Just a letter.
That's the way you'll always stay.
Another case of boy untrue.
The one thing I'd change: just your love's range.
No more pain, I've broke the strain.
This is my ace. My shade of blue.
