THE WORDS I NEVER WANTED TO SAY OUT LOUD

Forbidden Tree

You stand there

Like a man who sees his own significance.

You had it all, at least I'd like to think so

And you didn't stop there

Greed overtook you

A need for more

So you picked from my forbidden tree,

Unripe as its fruit was

And when you were done,

You felt no different.

While I was left bare

The Quiet

There I was, a docile lamb

Afraid to speak and ruin the illusion

Scared to breathe a word of what had happened

Nights and nights before.

Scared to shatter the image of us

And stir up unnecessary feelings.

Be called a liar.

Mostly I was scared to tell you

To look upon the face of the one I loved most in the world

And tell me

I

was

wrong.

(We don't speak of the things that went bump in the night because we don't want them to seep into the light)

Girls Wanted

Men want the girls to dance for them

To hold their hands and call them their favorite

To be their world and cherish them

So when they take what they want and leave

You'll never feel right again.

Blurry scenes of you and me

Replay in my head all the time

Images of a little girl,

Sleep in her eyes,

Laying in your bed

You laughing with me,

Calling me your daughter.

So poised

And prim

And proper

Little did they know

What you were really after

Men like the girl

Who don't

SCREAM

Hurricane

Unraveling,

every thread

Being,

pulled away

The Vibrations

tearing me

Back

and

Forth

again and again

Never Ceasing

to end

I'm Swept Up In Your

hurricane.

The Truth

Here it is,

The truth

All of it

you did it

No more denial

No more hiding

YOU DID IT

And it

crushed me
