I Dont Need

I dont need you
your pity
your cause
your smile
your kisses
to keep me whole

I dont need you
your air
your opinions
your lies
your emptiness
to corrupt me

I need a
light at the
end of this
dark tunnel
to shine for me

I dont need
your shame
cast on me
like boulders
wet with blood

I dont need this
from you
I dont need you
so leave

********************

Dont Leave

After you tear me open
you leave me exposed on
this cold hard floor
I run to you
screaming
crying
praying
"dont leave" i say
but you are gone
my words run to a
vacant room where
in a corner lies my
dreams of us
together
forever
"dont leave" i say
but you are gone

************************

For You, To Me

your anger rushes past me
could it be that i am numb?
or not open to your lies
you tell for sympathy from me
i dont care about your father
the man who left your father
i dont believe your apologies
the lies you tell to make me stay
i dont like the tone in you
the sarcastic quick tone you use
to tell me you love me

im not a patron of corruption
to mop the floor after your shoes
it is not my mess that stained you
you stained yourself when you came
my mess does not stain
wipes away easily on you
like chalk from a blackboard
wipe me away, i dont notice

*************************

Falter

i hold it in
no one understands
i feel like they do
i falter to demands

*************************

Bubble

i wish i lived in a bubble...no,
oh god im afraid i'll be alone
where is me on my own?
im gonna die alone, at least on my own

*************************

Not Open

i dont know how i feel
i dont know where i stand
i dont know when to go
im not open to your criticism yet

*************************

I Said I Didnt Love You

i said i didnt love you
and you shut yourself up
i feel like i felt never
never longing for you

the oddest thing happened
i touched your hand
and i melted into you

when i said i didnt love you
was i telling the truth?
i just need your arms
wrapped tight around me
then i could sleep and
i would dream of better things
than are real

you arent here with me
my body crumbling without
your arms holding it
but tommorow i will see you
and for now i should sleep
and pray to dream about you
falling into parallel worlds
with just us and no past
with just now, and what could
be love between us
i said i didnt love you

*************************

Dubbed Me

you dubbed me a psychotic paranoid molly
im glad that you care enough to place me
im ecstatic that my category is correct now

*************************

Funny

you fell away from me
where are all those letters
filled to the brim with
everything i want to hear?
everything you knew
i wanted to hear

where is my true love
who months ago swore he
could and would NEVER leave
you stepped in for him
quick replacement
my own self punishment
if i didnt deserve it
i wouldnt have inflicted it
but i do, and i told you
you were afraid of me then
now, im afraid of you
funny huh?

*************************

Small Light

such a small light
inside of me
how you increase it
with acknowledgement

*************************

A Million Years

if i fell a million years in time
would there still be love?
could people breathe in the place
without walls and no above?
more importantly,
if i collapsed in bloody tears
where would you be?
with the "friends" that adore you
and secretly loathe me?
if this oath burns forever
how can it sputter out?
could it be an inconvenience
that i cry to you and drag about?
a million years gone by
and all the answers i can see
there is love and air and oaths in a million years
but there is none, for me.

*************************

Your Popularity, My Pain

im tired of hearing
you use my insanity
for your popularity
you make a pitiful
mockery of my pain
thats not why i
collapse every day
now so you can fill
your head with stupid
self indulgences
that make you feel
like you are like me
doubt that
you are not like me
farthest from it
from where i stand
so would you leave me
or help me
dont use me
not this part of me
i hold it more dear
than any other section
of myself

*************************

While Looking In My French Book I Think

the people in my french book are ugly
they crawl into my mind and slow me down
i want to drown them in dry water
nothing is how it apears anymore
