Maybe This Time

Keep whispering those pretty lines in my ear 
maybe this time they'll be true.
Keep reading me the same script, and 
maybe this time I'll get my happy ending. 

Keep pretending that you 
only want to make me happy 
keep telling me how much 
you love me, and maybe this 
time I'll ignore the ache.

Hell

I hear the preachers talk about 
hell like they know what it is, 
but they don't really know 
what hell is. 

Hell is not being able to sleep 
until three in morning each night
because you can't stop telling 
yourself how worthless you are.

Hell is waking up everyday 
wondering why you even 
bother to get up at all. 

Hell is waking up everyday 
and seeing a ghost staring 
back at you. 

Hell is wanting to shove 
any sharp object into your skin 
just so you know you're still alive

Hell is being with the ones you
used to love and feeling so 
alone that it makes you want 
to cry. 

Hell is the bed that offers 
no comfort 
Hell is the food that taste 
like ash 
Hell is the body that works 
against you. 

So go ahead preacher man 
and tell me about hell.

Disappointment

I know I’m a terrible disappointment to you, 
I’m not pretty, or clever enough I just fumble around hoping
That something sticks.
I know I have let you down so many times before 
That it’s not worth repeating anymore. I know I’m not 
What you expected me to be.
I know you must be tired of watching all my failures,
And you must be tired of reminding me what a waste I am 
It must be terrible for you to find out that 
I’m human just like you.

Waste

I can't write anymore poems 
about you, I've wasted too much 
ink on you. 

wasted too many lines 
on your disappointment
wasted too many words 
on your lies 

This is the last time 
my ink will waste on you.

Closet

I wish I could hang you up in my closet 
Take you out on chilly nights and wrap myself 
In your warmth 
If you were in my closet I wouldn’t have 
To worry about who you were with 
You would be in my closet safe and warm 
Just waiting for me.

Memories

Memories trapped in a box 
I don’t have a key for, memories that were once 
Important all forgotten in seconds 
Trying to remember my life 
To remember who I used to be 
To put the broken pieces back together, but I 
Don’t remember how they fit.

Tired

Don’t blame me for all your defects
How could I compete with all your 
Insecurities? With all of your self doubt?

How could I compete with all your distrust? 
So is it really so hard for you to believe 
That I gave up the fight.

That I was tired of waging a war 
I could never win. 
I grew tired of waging a war on 
Myself, hurting myself trying to 
Reach someone who was never there.

If Only

If only you had been different,
If only you weren't scarred into 
my memory, 
If only you were the person 
you wanted to be. 

If only I could take back 
the years I wasted 
waiting for you, 
If only I didn't love you 
with a fire of a thousands suns. 

Maybe then I wouldn't care 
when you failed to keep 
your promises maybe then 
it wouldn't hurt to know 
that you'll never love me the same.
