Used to feel welcome in this life
Now I feel like last weeks garbage
Used to talk all the time
Now only silence rings in my ears
Standing outside in the cold looking in
Seeing a painful truth that slices to the core
So confused where I went wrong
Respecting the wishes made clear that day
Pulled away-tears mingle with the rain
As I crawled back in my cave

My heart is scarred and broken
So I close the door to keep you out
Only to find the pain you inflicted
Has followed me; imprisoning me
Every word striking open a wound
Mistakes made by both
But only one accepts responsibility
Quick to discard and walk away
Truth revealed and eyes are opened
Your empty words of love fall away
I was nothing but a doormat to you
So I accept the fault as the fool
Learning from this and moving on
Healing and covering my scars
The scars that will always remind me
To keep my walls up and guarded

You searched and found me
I was so hesitant but met with you
That simple act started a war
The first wound was my heart
The second wound was my family
From then on it was a huge battle
that never ended
Truth hit me hard
My eyes were opened
yet I still wore rose colored glasses
There has been forgiveness
with answers
There has been mistakes
due to stupidity and innocence
There has been cruelty
both inbred and taught
My vision became so clear
The glasses ripped off
In the end there was nothing
but pain and anger
In the end it was all for nothing
In the end I am glad its over
In the end I still cry
for all the loss
for all the suffering
for all that cannot be put in words
In the end I should have never
answered that email
In the end....

I tried so hard to make you apart of my world
and I failed miserably causing more pain
this goes in two opposite ways of life
yet all on the same path of blood
understanding both sides of the suffering
yet completely blind to it all
one side hides in the shadows
all the while stating support
the other side sucks me dry
leaving nothing but a corpse
In my vulnerable state of life
I choose to run and hide
closing down and sitting silent
I will heal and protect mine

You can't have him
I'm not ready-he's not ready
I will fight you knowing its foolish
You always win but I can't stop
He is mine
He is my friend
He is my lover
He is my rock
He listens to me- really hearing me
In his arms nothing can hurt me
His tender kisses leave me feeling so loved
Like no other ever has
He is such a part of me
To take him is to take me
Ripping me apart leaving nothing
but a huge mountain of pain
You don't need him but I do
You can't have him
He is MINE!

Silent screams ripping
Silent sobs escaping
Silent grief smothering
Alone in the dark
Hiding her vulnerability
Keeping all others away
Protecting her pain
Burying her shattered heart
Abandoning her battered soul
Nothing but an empty shell
Leaving behind all life
Her existence is over
