You said I was beautiful, you said I was the one
And you said you couldn’t live without me,
you said I was everything you needed
Trust we’d be together,
and that you would never leave me.
You started slipping,
days spreading out further,
feeling more empty
Nights alone, my pillow soaked with tears,
where is the man I trusted to come home
Before I know it, you are more vacant,
perfume on your clothes, numbers in your phone
Why are you doing this, why are you leaving,
what about all those nights…you said…

another older poem
vulnerable mind, gentle soul
dont touch me that way again
you make me cringe inside
a thousand lives over again.
dont call me 'doll' or 'sweetheart'
you dont know who i am
all you know is a look and a reaction
but you dont know what kind represents.
my face is of fragile glass
and you shatter it without knowing
i smell just the way you did, but still
a thousand showers will not erase the night.
you say you are man and yet let me walk
3 oclock in the morning and i am running far
far into the night because i wish it never happened
i will fall asleep tonight and wake up still remembering.
you never took the time to understand me
but then classify me in being like every other woman
you will never begin to understand who i am inside
never in a thousand years will you ever know.
