Shut It Down
Shut down the sadness
The loneliness
The worry
All of the rage
The hurt and the fear
There isn’t any need
You shouldn’t want any of it
Prolapse
He doesn’t know what he is saying.
Doesn’t he see the pain?
Can he not see the wound?
Pressure has been applied.
Even So
Even so
I won’t go
I won’t change
I won’t worry
I won’t regret
Lipstick
I didn't pull away but drew him near
Now he too possessed lips so red
Above It All
The rest doesn’t matter
It is just background noise
I may have placed you there
To protect you
Remember
Remember that is
The words we shared
The words unspoken
The tears shed
I do, do you?
Don’t Quit
It hurts sometimes
How much I love you
More Each Day
I need you next to me
To feel the warmth
I want to touch you
I want to hold you again
Burn
I burn up rather quickly
My throat tightens
My hands wring
My eyes wince from the smoke
I wipe the soot from my skin
My feet tread carefully
Impact
When you brace for the impact You don’t experience the whole effect Your muscles tighten and eyes squint Hands balled into fists Feet press down on invisible brakes You hurt yourself more than anything Maybe you should embrace the impact…
