There was a time I would have done anything, when
I wanted you for my own,
but now
I take the leftovers of used love
Survive on scraps I'm thrown..

I can't find any peace in this world
I have no
comfort zone
Shrouded in mistrust and self doubt
I feel my life's on short term loan

You've taken what little I owned
And I
sold whatever I gained
Squandered all my joy
On a passion exchanged for pain

I traded my tomorrows
For a promise based on lies
You succeeded in breaking me
Only
Because I believed your masterful disguise

My time will come I'll
Lay it out
There'll be no part left ignored
Left naked then for all to see
You'll stand defective and flawed

And watching all around you alter
You'll turn away before you falter
Your mouth filled with
bitter sweetness
Haunted by your
inner weakness

And I will know then
My path has altered
Rebuild the pieces of this life yet
I'll lose the baggage of past mistakes....
Leave behind my suitcase of regret.

In The Fireplace

Burning letters. Smoke off the fire. Broken promises. My lost desire. You told me secrets. Gave me hope. Lies in letters. Belief like a dope. So much heart break. From together times.

Tell Me

Tell me did you see my heart break. Tell me did you see me fall. Tell me did you feel the ground quake. Did you not hear me call. Did you not feel me want you. Did you not feel the need.

@Stablish @glen Really appreciate your comments guys. Having a shite time at mo & not getting much chance to read or write stuff, so your feedback means a lot when I do. Will try my best to catch up with all I've missed as soon as I can ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

@Fly10 Again a lovely piece, very powerful... Life itself is important, dare I say it more important than Opuss..? I've noticed a few are adding "rights reserved" footnotes, is the risk of plagiarism that great, has anyone tried to benefit from your work? Am I being niaive here, not that anyone would want any of my stuff..? Please, don't feel you have to respond, get sorted, live life to the full and then write about it... :)))
