Everybody Elses Girl 10/19/17

I can't count them
The ones that bring me
Flowers that make me
So sick to see that I
End up burying them
At the bottom of my
Garbage can.

The ones that tell me
I'm beautiful
Because they choose not
To see the monster that
Lives just beneath my skin
That I feel inside
Every time
I hear how
Beautiful they think
I am...
Makes me sick
Because I lost any
Bit of beauty
I still had in me
The day I started
Making them all pay
For what should only
Be given in love

The day I became
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day
I'll be my own...

Benediction 10/2/17

I feel my heart
Where there was 
Nothing but a 
Silent benediction
An empty echoing
Chamber where 
My love laid dried up
Withered... Dust 

Until you came along... 

And somehow,
Became the 
Benediction 
Without my realizing
It had even happened
Until it was too late
To stop it...
Too late
