Life's far too short to worry about the sand in someone else's hourglass.
⏳
You ran circles around my heart,
Leaving it broken and me bruised
You trampled on me,
As if I were nothing more
Than shit on your precious shoe.💔
You're like a rock
That's been violently thrown into calm water —
You inevitably sink,
But your ripples are far reaching and everlasting.🌊
We never held hands,
Nothing ever felt right.
I know now that it's better to be alone,
Than live a life of Hell and fright.
😢
The lines on her face tell a story —
Most of them not good...
But they're hers.📕
Just because our tapestries are already woven, doesn't mean we can't change the colors.
🌈
We all hesitate...
And in that moment of hesitation,
We lose ourselves.⚠️
My heart likes to hide in silence.
🤫
Beyond oblivion,
And into the black —
If I leave...
I ain't coming back.🕳
Just death going on inside of life,
As we linger here in uncertainty, peril, and strife...
Only knowing that we are but a heartbeat away,
From the inevitable
Doomsday.
🔥
You didn't need a weapon to kill me —
Your words were more than enough.🗣
We're all a little dusty,
From the well traveled road,
Yet we get right back in line,
So willing to be borrowed.
👣
It was a savage rain,
That pelted my heart relentlessly
With torment and pain.
The sorrow seeped...
Into my skin,
Gnawing at me,
As the cold settled in.
Yet you never lit me a fire,
Or tried to keep me warm,
But I never expected any different,
It just sadly became the norm.⛈
Life is an effervescent bomb of emotions that uses a revolving door.
💣
My life was held captive,
For a price I could never pay —
You took joy in bankrupting me,
In every single way!💸
You always made my heart sore, but never soar...
💔
My encounter with destiny was a short walk into a brick wall.
🔮
Your mercy is a slow death.
🥀
