Days, weeks, months and years
I’m still missing you, but I’ve stopped shedding tears
I’m passed the stage, where crying could ease my pain
I know you can’t come back, but your memory remains
So, take your hands out of my chest
‘Cause they’re doing their very best
To ruin me
And it’s a heartbreaking feeling
And I can’t stop reeling
This time I won’t make it out alive
And it’s like you’re still with me
But you’re never really
This time they can bury me alive
Getting up, getting to work
Going through the motions, like I’m fucking numb
Pretend I’m fine, but if you could read my mind
You’d know this agony is eating me up inside
So, take your hands out of my chest
‘Cause they’re doing what they can
To destroy me
And it’s a heartbreaking feeling
And I can’t stop reeling
This time I won’t make it out alive
And it’s like you’re still with me
But you’re never really
This time they can bury me alive
It’s like a gut wrenching pain
And I know nothing will change
This time they can lay me down next to you
And I want to scream
But the hurt is captured of me
This time they can bury me next to you
I don’t care if I stay underground
I can go to sleep
As long as you’re with me
I’m safe and sound
So, rip my heart out of my chest
And lay it to rest
You’ve killed me
‘Cause it’s a heartbreaking feeling
And I can’t stop reeling
This time I won’t make it out alive
And it’s like you’re still with me
But you’re never really
This time they can bury me alive
It’s like a gut wrenching pain
And I know nothing will change

Creating “Greatness”
Pencil to paper
Slides across with such ease,
Like a raft gliding across a moonlighted lake.
As I sit,
Anticipating the outcome,
My pencil creates her own ideas and perceptions to add to my beginning.
Letting her take charge,
She creates a mystical item of expectancy that makes any artist bow with honor to her greatness and imaginativeness.
Suddenly,
The artwork is complete.

I’m quiet on the outside
An all-wrecking, raging storm on the inside
I can’t speak,
Because I fear I can only produce inhuman cries
But my inner screams overwhelm any external sound
I don't blame you for not seeing behind my hollow eyes
I don't blame you for not hearing anything but silence
And I don't blame you for not feeling my heart breaking in my chest, over and over again
But I wish you would just hold me, and tell me I'll be okay. That somehow, this all-consuming pain is not going to kill me. That I will come out of this, stronger.
I wish I could distance myself from this destruction,
But I belong in the center of the hurricane
Because I need this pain, like I need oxygen
So, let my ravel in my agony,
Without it I am nothing
