You’ve

mywords2228

saved  me from myself

over and over again.

But, now you’re not around

much and so I’m trying so hard

to save myself on my own.

And, sometimes I feel so defeated

that I just try to ignore the pain and

hope time will heal me on its own.

But, as time goes on I see there’s no hiding this anymore.

Every sign is crystal clear and it all leads back to you.

I try to reach out but you’ve blocked every  attempt I’ve made.

Days go by and then when my hope is gone and I start to forget.

You call me and you have  a list of demands for me to do before you let me back in.

Daily Prompt: Imaginary

mywords2228

When the imaginary world in my dreams feel so real

that when I wake up the reality of my life just doesn’t compare.

The happiness that I feel in these dreams just don’t seem to transfer

over into my reality.

It feels like the people who are apart of my life than are nowhere to be found in the reality of what my life is now.

Did I run away from them or did I chase them away and is my subconscious trying to tell me something.

Some dreams feel like I’ve lived this moment before but this time the decisions I make are so much better and the things around me in life start to shift.

And some how this imaginary world that only reappears it’s self a couple of times falls into place and the things in my dream start to become my normal.

When will I wake up from this moment and realize it was all a dream and things to come won’t happen anytime soon.

But, maybe just maybe this isn’t just something I’ve dreamed up in my mind to full the things missing.

Silly

mywords2228

me to think you were the same person I fell in love with,

your evil grin was all it took to help me walk out that door.

I knew I was being silly when I believed you that day, when you

didn’t grin but looked so sincere the whole time.

But, now I know that was all just  an act and  I’d clap my hands  to your skills but they

were used against me therefore  I’ll just shake my head at you.

And pray that one day you will open up your eyes and realize your little games

were not helping you gain anything but was hurting you the whole time and will continue to hurt you.

The

mywords2228

truth wants to leak out of me

so bad.

And, just for a second so that I don’t have to keep thinking about

this.

The truth would be best said now than later but would you

listen or ignore me.

So as the words fall from my lips

did you hear it all?

Or did you hear pieces of it and now

I don’t feel better about it I just feel like I’m losing it

all over again.

The days seem to be going by so much longer than normal

and I’m growing more tired than before.

I just need a moment to lay down and rest my eyes and maybe than

I will be able to tell you it all over again .

Daily Prompt: Brassy

mywords2228

She was loud in her voice and in the colors of her clothes.

But, she didn’t do it for the attention or for the stares.

she had always been this way and more than once she would have to quite down what she said.

But, she knew who she was and didn’t care if anyone said she was a brassy type of women.

And, it would be hard for her to find her way.

She knew where she was going and didn’t take the little hits they tried to throw her way.

Feeling

mywords2228

like maybe I shouldn’t have reached out to you.

Your words rubbed me the wrong way and so I pulled away.

I didn’t need your judgement as much as I just needed a friend.

Things became an awkward as you tried to apologize.

Your words I understood but my mind and heart was at war with each other.

And the blow of everything just seemed to much.

And here you were adding to it all just because you felt you needed to be heard.

When all I needed that night was someone to talk to and to listen to it all.

Then let me handle it my way.

Only time will tell if I let you back in or walk on and build something new.

Daily Prompt: portion

mywords2228

I want to give you a good portion of my time but something always gets in the way.

I say sorry and you forgive and the time spent together is good.

But, the cycle of being busy is winning these days.

So, a portion of my time is wishing I had time for you.

Maybe one day that portion will be free again.

My

mywords2228

mind is on you

as the day goes by

I try to not get distracted

by the things that have been said.

I want to talk to you about it all before

things start to fall and vanish  before we solve

this issue together.
