Dead Silence

Quiet as a dead rose, life taken away. Attained knowledge from what i shouldn't know, nothing more to say. Secrets that are held within the darkest of nights, for only you and "them" to keep. Secrets that weren't meant to come to light, still i say not a peep.
Eyes filled with tears too similar, secrets i know all to well. Pain and heartache i didn't want to remember, no strength left to yell. Yell the secrets from your darkest of places, secrets you thought i wouldn't know. Secrets that hold may different faces, pain to me you didn't mean to bestow.
Or did you?
Never to hurt again was a promise made to myself, to me. A promise i feel fading away. Because i know the things withheld you see, silly for me to stay. Silly for me to stay again, putting myself in the same damn predicament. Holding "YOUR" dark secrets within, foolish for being loves' benchman.
So i guess I'm doomed to relive this cycle; of lies, secrets and despair. Putting my smile back on is my only outcome, i know now that love doesn't really care.

Gift From A Virgo

I once loved a Virgo.
So kind, loving, and caring. The one person of my dreams came true. The one person i knew i would marry.
I once fell in love with a Virgo.
So true to me and real. The one person i thought of every second. But his heart was made of steel.
I loved him like no other lover. But his love for me was under cover.
"Think of it as baseball. We're in the same field but on different plates" is what was told to me. And still i jumped head first into this love's steel sea.
Six months was the time it took for my mind, strength, and heart to prepare itself for what was ahead. Add two to the equation, is the time that i truly realized that the genuine feelings i had were dead. Love faded away from me that day, followed by realization and plea.
The realization that what YOU had is packing its bags and leaving you, only in loving memory.
But enough sad stories of a cold case love.
I fly high in happiness and peace like the clouds above.
I'm not bitter nor am I in hate.
But I'm glad you've lifted me and have taken away this weight.
See I would like to thank you for this gift you've gave to me.
I hold no grudge because you've opened my eyes to new endeavors and new love.
I want to say thank you for giving me this gift to experience love with you.
And though this door is closed, another opens bringing in the new.
Months have passed by and I've grown, changed and I live new life.
I thank you for giving me the gift of freedom and release.
Happiness is what i now cry!

Why Me

Why me?
Forced to play this role. Broken hearts and torn soul. Deep down pain is my burden. History repeats itself it seems. Clear and bright like the rays from the suns beam. Out in the open for everyone to see but yet no one knows. Blinded by the smiles and laughter.
Counterfeit!
A servant to everyone's demands and needs but what about me...I bleed!
Bleed to be the pleaser, comforter, and lover. Scared of being hurt, heartbroken, cheated on, used and abused. Its ok because I'll protect you, I'll be a mother's loving womb. Warm, nurturing and kind, you can lay your trust in these arms of mine.
But what about me?
Am i not scared of being hurt, heartbroken, cheated on, used and abused as well?
Do you even know that the fear of a terrified child dwells within this hardened shell?
Selfish are those who only think of themselves. Tired of being played and hurt and put under a false love spell. Well I'm tired too you see, who i ask...Who will protect me?
But i guess I'm doomed to be loves #1 caller. Forever love's hollowed out knight in shining armor.
