Poetry 2 ~ Past Times

Me

Starting out knowing fully well where I'm at

Been abused and misused

Thrown away several times in the past

Not letting it define what I hold inside

Refusing to keep space for people who leave

People trying me on like shoes

Walk all over me

Trace your outline with your memory

Delete the program you provided me

Erase the time you allotted me

Crying because I'm doubting me

Stop shooting the messenger, they say

'You're not enough for me'

Thinking with time it'll make sense to me

Clock just keep ticking

It's mostly just been... all me


Light Switch

It's so easy for you to turn it on and off

Flip it back and forth

I can't keep up

I'm always turned on in some sort

My energy, some can't keep up

Waiting for my light to attract the one

But anytime someone gets close they run

Flying into the hearth

Then poof, they're gone


Empty spaces

I look at the space between my fingers

Hoping that one day someone will fill them

Someone would look at my heart

Someone could love me.. the way I am

If you read between the lines you would know

I'm not desperate, I'm okay with being alone

But it would be nice

It would just be nice

That I love my own company

So, why doesn't someone else?

Running after shadows

Abandoned since day one
