Niavety My Enemy

Little girl took a step into the real world
Surrounded by fear and hatred
Wanted to feel wanted but just got used
Terrified of being rejected

Saw beauty in a soul and a glimmour of hope
But he turned his back and left her
Grew older every day but naivety failed her
What she felt was wasted

A week went by and she started to fade
Pining for that dying comfort
Tried to revive it but he just looked away
Security was beyond her reach

Cried out for the beauty, screamed his name
Tried to make him believe
Dressed up in her best, tried to impress
But his eyes were dead

At this she crawled away into the black of lonliness
But still she held a scrap of hope
The kind words of an angel made her believe
That maybe she still had a chance

Clinging to that hope she waited for him
But he hid himself from her
Searching for her love who was never hers
She would kill herself trying.
Grief

How could I let you slip away?
You never stuck around to change the world with me
I need your comforting words

I've searched so hard to find you but you're all gone
My last glimmer of hope was you
A pure but tortured soul to share a lifetime with

A fragile but sold friend
Without you I can't see my way anymore
You kept me alive

I tried to return the favour but I failed
I can't see the good in me
Not a twinkle of light to end my darkness

A selfish quest for a little happiness
But all I see is a past riddled with hurt
I smiled sitting by you

But you were ripped away from my side
Your demons took you
I wanted my best friend to stay with me

I pray you're happy
Somewhere unimaginable to me
Somewhere safe, somewhere free.


For the Never Forgotten

As elegant, majestic birds strut
From grave to grave in search of a meal
In turn I search for you

Why can't I feel your presence?
Not even here by your resting place
Perhaps I'm looking too hard

Rain falls mimicking my tears
The hazy sun disappears behind a grey cloud
Casting shadows on my already blackened soul

Frustrated by this lack of contact
Not an atheist nor a believer
I wonder what I'm doing wrong

I travelled so far to find you
Tired and desperate and you're not here
A strom brews inside my heart

No comfort in a statue of a child
Safe in the arms of god
I could scream but you'll never hear

As I walk to the cemetery gates
I stop and look over my shoulder
Try to catch you by surprise

But all I see if darkness
Stones grey and green and black
Decaying in forgotten memories.

Blindness

Anticipation burns right through me
Leaves a hole in my soul that bleeds
Stings my eyes so I can no longer see
Creates and ache in my heart that never leaves

Disappointment sinks to the bottom of me
Rips through my body like a hurricane
Closes my eyes so I can no longer see
Leaves me feeling cold and full of pain

Rejection stabs at the core of me
Makes me feel like I should be dead
Tears from my eyes so I can no longer see
Brings back the suffocation to my head

Disapproval ruins the pride in me
They don't care about the hurt I feel
Scorn that fact that I can no longer see
I can't prove that my pain is real

Loss finally destroys me
Forces a part of me to disappear
Laughs at the fact that I can no longer see
Fills me with lonliness, emptiness and fear.
Rejection

Steal an integral part of me
Strip me of my dignity
Rob me of my confidence
You make me feel so ashamed

My idiotic niavety never tarnished
A childish hope never extinguished
I can't accept what rationality tells me
This problem will never be resolved

You seek to fulfil some primal urge
I search to mend the abyss in my heart
Twelve wrongs never produce a right
Your motives will never be pure

Love in the twenty first century
Is an alien concept to everyone but me
Nothing is ever constant
Except this nagging doubt in my mind

Fake promises too little too late
I've already seen through your lies
Yet you still carry out the rigmarole
Soothe the conscience you never had

Your priority always with number one
Never a glimpse at what you left behind
I am the junk you dispose of so readily
Consuming what little trust that remains

You leave me here, and empty shell
Not considering the hurt I endured
Is this all I'm worth and all I deserve?
So close to giving up but I can't

Won't resign myself to being eternally alone
So I continue to make the wrong decisions
But if I never try I won't reach my goal
Am I really asking for too much?

Everyone around me has what I desire
Yet they abuse it and take it for granted
If it were mine I would cherish it dearly
So greatful for the gift I admire

To think of what they took from me
Causes me excrutiating pain inside
Falling for the disguise every time
Left for dead by the side of their mind.
