your anger pierced my ears
like the needle that deflated my heart
which once held such love
for the one i had wished for
a fallen star with a low self-esteem
so young and vulnerable
that’s what was left of me
once i had been thrown to the gutter
just rubbish as your words
lies of the blinded
you put me up high
upon a pedestal
i was the angel of strength
given in order for you to survive
hurt, loss and life
stepping out to prove you’re strong
hiding the tears
shed over the one who took your heart
returned in pieces
only to refelct what was shared
too late you looked into the mirror
recognising yourself as well
who opened her up
drowning memories kept
unsalvageble form the ruins
a rocky road that’s misty
no light at the other end
darkness on the past
as you blew out the candle
giving up and dismissing
no lines open for communication
the door is now shut
unable to deal
hey or maybe you
not the same
rebellion and your thirst for experience
taught tough love by a wiser source
not young enough to have been the right choice
ensureing knowledge of gossip
which falls upon deaf ears
overwhelmed by guilt
done not on purpose but out of fear
anxiety of the future
in the end unresolved
who’s lost
too many chances wasted
thinking of insects crawling back
which are crushed under the your big black boots
a false mask of toughness
changed not for the better
it’s not a win-win situation
which will repeat until eyes are opened wide
enough to admit sadness
claimed to have already battled and won
gotten over the meaningless
it is just the beginning for a teen
you tasted the leather that you’ll lick
smart mouthed
to have spoken words for effect
causing no reaction to those who already know
no secret anymore
given up on the fight
realizing the loss
make up







I hope it’s not twice in my life that I feel those words so effortlessly, with so much meaning, and so much personal hell and memories.
Achingly awesome piece of words.
thank you.
