You fell in love with my confidence then you took it away.
"I"...
was the one that changed.
As if I wasn't being hurt and lied to everyday.
"I"...
was the one that changed when she would call at 4am.
Your phone.
Quickly shuffled into silence.
You made things so obvious, yet, still tried to hide it.
Silly boy, bad at keeping secrets.
Silly girl, still loved him even though she could see it.

Bottled up emotion.
Beating of word.
Belittled woman.
Breaking her.

Rage rattling. Ripping  heart.  Renounced love. Rigid decisions.

Observations  of a oblivious man.  Obvious he won't.

Keen girl.
Kindling suspicion killing her.
Knowing he would.

Neutral balance.
Natures nourishes.
"Broken" girl
New life shall flourish.

Lie to me.
Cheat on me.
The usual things you do.
Hurt me.
Belittle me.
I know that's getting off for you.

Pay attention to me.
Love me.
Please, love me.
All I asked of you.

Built up courage to leave.
No longer tears on my sleeve.
Now I'm the one that's hurting you?

Pay attention to her.
Love her.
Please..
Love her the way  I loved you.

Your eyes are like a painting and I love getting lost in your art.

I finally found someone
Willing to pick up my pieces
We helped each other
I picked up her pieces too
I showed her
Pointed my finger
"See? Those are mine"
She picked them up
And put them in her bag
She pointed her finger
"Those, and those, and those,
And those" she keeps pointing
"Those are mine, they're everywhere"
"I'm sorry, you don't have to
Pick them up, and really,
I don't know if you can"
I said "I can. Watch."
And i did.
I picked up almost all of her pieces
And put them in my bag
We weren't completing
Individual pictures
We were completing one
The pieces fit together
It was incredible
But i think my pieces
Were too heavy
One day, she decided
She didn't want to do that anymore
She took her bag,
And she gave it back to me
And then i almost ran over her
And now both of our pieces
Our collective pieces
That we had worked so hard
To find,
They were scattered again
And there are even more of them now
We'll never get them all picked up
Not apart
But she is satisfied
As long as she doesn't have
My pieces
I ruined everything
And now every time i look in my bag
I see pieces of hers
And i cry
I sob
And the tears are hot
And i'm cold
And the pain won't go away
For either of us
And now she's leaving
She's gone
And now we're both
Permanently
Infinitely
Forever
Broken

Amidst the storm your rain touched my skin.
Rain engulfing me in a sweet embrace.
Until the rain that kissed upon my lips and healed my bruises.
Turned into a downfall of acidic juices leaving me stuck in place.
Amidst the storm your rain burned my skin.
A few drops turned into a sea.
Leaving me suffocating in a sea of maybes.
Maybe the sweet embrace of your rain will come again.
Look beyond I see a clear path.
Whether I choose to take it there's no way back.
Amidst the storm I began to swim and with every kick the irritation was held back.

I am told that I have no idea of how far the limits of your love can reach.
Show me.
Show me the way to that love.
Embrace me with a stolen kiss.
What is there to lose from any of this?
I have no idea?
Then show me what's on your mind.
Why its so hard to miss.
