Pick me apart like petals of a rose
piece by peice
when nothing is left
that is when you'll cease

You crave my life as your own
in your mind you are superior
i'm supposed to hand it over
feeling inferior

My nerves bunching into a ball
tangling around eachother..thickening..
Swallow some of your own medicine
I gag, for it is sickening

The light is red
yet you push the limits, you keep going
you should obey me like a traffic light
instead you nauseate me without knowing

I should attempt a new search
seek someone better
I was caught in the storm of you
Must've been asleep through that weather

You handed me a glass of wine
seemingly poisoned, I drank
a love once smooth sailing
wasn't destined to be, it sank

I'm a shiny red mercedes benz
soon as I let my guard down
you take advantage, losing control
Until you crashed, wrecking parts of me
the car damaged on the outside
I am damaged inside
but if you study me it shows on the outside..

No one should feel this way.  Take care my friend.  ~warm hugs, Nancy~

So that you won't ever forget me.~

Tight poem as usual. Keep doing your thing.

As my borough has always stated- Do or Die.

the rain forever.
Turn all of your
pain to
pleasure.
Fill up your
days with
sunlight, make the
passion last every

I know that pain.
It will heal and get better †

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

Powerful thoughts here. I've felt the exact ones myself (in the process of seperation now). These words really speak to me.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
