I faded away from your life and I wonder if you even noticed.
I was gone or did you wait until you saw an old photo with my face on it and then you remembered who I was.
I stopped wonder what you would miss the most when I’m gone.
Probably long before you remembered my name and anything else about me.
I faded and so did the memories.

With you right now, I’m annoyed and just over it.
Words can no longer express how I feel for no amount of words can fully describe how your acting.
The anger build up inside me and it’s not just for me but for others that you have burned.
I feel like I want to protect them and not let you harm them with your words.
But, something inside me stops me from saying the words I need to say to break you down a couple of steps.
I have never known someone to be so nasty before.
Your words are toxin and your heart is blacker than coal.
Nothing you do or say proves to me that you care enough to stop.
You just pretend like a child that you have done no wrong and should be forgiven.
But, honey I can forgive but I will not forget and if I wasn’t the person I am in today.
I would have told you off by now and let it be done for you will never have my trust or respect.
This world needs love and not your ugly hater to continue to grow.
I am fighting for the good and trying to stop all the wrong and the ugly in life.
I have grew up and have put away my childish ways, when will you do the same?

Your pungent comment sliced through me like a sharp knife.
The open wound was so painful as I felt the shock overwhelm me.
I couldn’t believe the words coming out your mouth.
So hurtful and so not true.
And on that day I saw you for what you were, a monster in plain sight.
Not afraid to be so cruel.
It finally happened, I broke into so many pieces that no one knew if I would be able to be put back together again.
I didn’t want to feel at all this way but there comes a time when you truly have to let go.
And fall so far that the anticipation of the fall is relaxing.
I fall with my eyes closed enjoying the fall as my body slows down.
The moment before I broke reappears in front of my face and I cry a little.
But, smile when the feeling of peace washes over me.
Like a blanket of protection, I felt loved and then I hit the floor with the biggest break of my life.
And I never could come back to who I was before.

To me eat at my soul
day and night to the point
I don’t know what to say to you.
And I know the moments I look at you,
My eyes no longer reflect happiness, just sadness and when I’m about to say something.
Just one look from you shuts me down and my walls go up again and I’m no longer see the person I once thought I knew.

I’m sated with the chooses I have made in life today.
So many trials I went through just to live now with so much hope, belief and faith.
To let God handle it all and for first time not have a moment of doubt.
It will all work out and if it doesn’t who cares, I’m too strong now to let failure break me down.
I am worthy and successful no matter where I end up.
Today could be my greatest day but only if I accept that the impossible can come true and if I fall.
I can always get up and build myself up again until I’m 100% sure I can do this.
I am sated and I will not turn back for nothing.

The chaos begins soon with all the sales start
people all over the place.
Cars speeding down the road trying to get to the stores early.
People all over the place trying to find their ways and hoping they can get the best deals of the year.
No time to be confused or lost cause one wrong move and you lose it all.
But, some have become pro’s at the land of great deals.
No worrying about losing time with their family, for their all in the game to win.

She waited with anticipation that something great was about to happen.
Her hand itched with hope of what she needed would come her way soon even when things seem impossible.
She always had hope that it would work out and would rather smile through it all then continue feeling like this was her end result.
With the little bit of hope that tomorrow would be a better day, was all the hope she needed to continue on with a smile on her face and knowledge of knowing God was on her side.
She knew no matter what she anticipated would or wouldn’t happen it would all be okay in the end.

I said the one thing I knew would draw out the truth from you
and I don’t regret it.
Because you opened up to me for the first time, and I got to know everything about you, nothing was left hidden.
The truth was out and it was a sunny day outside, you could feel the weight of it all just drop from your shoulders when you were done talking.
There were many tears that fell from your eyes that day and, many secrets that spilled from your lips.
One’s I will keep safe with me until the day I take my last breath on this earth, but for now I just want to draw out all the things that make you feel alone and helpless on your darkness days.

That lay out a perfect poem
won’t come to me as Writer-block strikes again.
My lack of creativity drains my hope of writing out some worthy to me.
Time goes by so fast and nothing comes to me, words you have vanished from my mind and my lips.
As I sit in silently by myself finding no inspiration from anything.
The wind blows so hard outside that as it blows around me everything I wanted to say is ripped right from me.
I try with all my might to get those words back by the wind is so strong I can’t seem to find the strength to go on.
So I run inside to the warmth my body and mind needs but, still the words don’t come to me.
Wordless and the fear of not being able to find something to say is strong.
I just need a couple of words to start me off and then I hope I never run out of words again.

I got so close to you that I got scorched the pain was so defined.
I didn’t see it coming and I couldn’t do anything but bit my lip and get away before I burn.
I couldn’t focus on what was going on around me because it all seemed so unreal.
The burning anger inside of you ready to hurt me again.
The flames shooting out your fingers waiting for me to get just close enough it feels like your burning through me.

He wanted to ostentatious her with his new boots.
He knew this winter would be bad and he needed to be able to walk through the snow and help her out.
No matter what, he had been her rock during the spring & summer and, now he hoped she needed him for fall and winter.
He had high expectations that she would choose him this time and stop the cycle of dating and determining on people who won’t reliably like him.
So as he worked hard to keep her attention and be a gentleman, he didn’t expect her to do anything for she impressed him the minute he laid eyes on her.
But she shocked him when fall came around and she showed up at his place asking for help and lunch date.
You see he never needed to impress her with his new boots for his action spoke louder to her than anyone else’s.
She saw how helpful he was to everyone and, not just her the pretty girl next door.
His heart was big and she had always choose him but needed to realize on her own that it was her time to be happy.
And she was ready to settle down now and not worry about how their love story would end and just enjoy the start of something new.

Seem to force out the words that need to be said.
But apart of me wants to forget you and leave the words unsaid.
I’ve never wanted to erase someone from my life so bad until now.
And maybe that’s not the best decision but my emotions are not about to be ping-pong all over the place.
So I stand tall and go through it all and ignore what you used to be.
So much hope in someone to be a human only for them to be so savage its unreal.

The words that percolate out my mouth
won’t the best.
But as they dropped out my mouth and float
towards you, I wanted to grab them back and erase the hurt from your face.
But the damage was done and there was a filter or back button that could save me
from the hurt in your eyes.

The filthy words pour out your mouth as your anger grows by the second.
You begin to turn red in the face and you don’t stop until I think everyone around the world heard you.
You don’t seem the bit embarrassed by your action as you carry on like a mad man.
You point your finger and you stump your feet and you do it all as I stand there so shocked.
The wall I built came up the minute filthy words erupted from your mouth.
spitting out like they need to destroy something.
Like my professional behavior or to see how far you could take it before conflict came back again..
Your filthy words didn’t hurt me and in the end they did more damage to others than to me.
