Who were you to stand in the way of love?
You cast such a shadow, no one could see the light
So grand, so magnificent you appeared
A wonder to behold were you,
A monstrous wonder
Once stripped bare your secret was unveiled
The gallant swain you declared to be -
impossible for any eye to see
Instead, in horror, what was seen
a swine, a brute, a feeble poltroon
And yet you bellowed to the skies,
we love one another, she and I!
Deep within aware of your lacking ambition,
yet still wanting to keep her barefoot in the kitchen
Painting transcendent stories of love
Convincing all of your excellent person
Knowing that in truth these
I remember laying in your tent, giggling about those boys,
and in our teenage innocence we never knew where we would land,
and I always believed that he was the one
and I believed we were going to be forever strong
but the words that he spewed got me so confused
that I believed I was as insignificant
as the dust that floats through the sky;
at the end of each day I thought I wanted to die;
It sounds so cliche, to hear that's how I ended each day,
and now it's so great, my life is so good
but when I look back and see how awful and crude
everything was at that time,
I feel as though I wasted away so many hours
and so many days
tr
It always seemed that I was drifting in the sea,
but I realize that it was never really me.
I'm grounded and staying right where I belong,
While everyone else has left, and I won't follow along.
They're lost and scared, I hear it's cold out there,
and I don't think I can even dare
to brave the things that they encounter
Because out at sea - I surely will flounder
My legs are what I stand upon
I like the way the ground is strong
I'm sure of every step I take
there is no worry that it will break
The water's rapids are too uneasy
I fear that I would become queasy
Travelling across the sea,
it really isn't meant for me.

I Refuse to Let You Control Me
As the words float by me I can see where this is going.
I can almost touch them and their baneful way
I feel as though I'm drifting out to sea
And the power of this pain, oh it's taken over me
I don't want to lay down and die
but as the days drag on, I'm losing the want to try
I'm a one in fifteen - or something like that -
so tell me, where the heck am I at?
Why is there is no cure?
Why is there no help?
Why is it that I can never get out?
Each day drags on, a new symptom found
And I feel as though I am one with the ground.
I cannot sit, and I cannot stand,
I cannot run, I cannot ride,
I may as well just lay down and die.

Your Little Locked Box
Your little locked box, oh, how it loves to tease,
it tells me that you - I cannot please
Oh, your little locked box, with that little small hole,
and I try and I try and I try to console,
telling myself that I don't need to know;
what's trapped inside of your little locked box
In your little locked box all your secrets are kept,
all the secrets you tell me do not exist
all the lies and the pain that you've kept from us
In that little locked box, all our memories lie
all our truths, all our love, all our plans, there they lie
And that little locked box
oh, it loves to tease, telling me that it is you who holds the keys

Words Don't Make Sense
I ask you: how do you deal?
How do you go through each day knowing what it will reveal?
and I wonder, I wonder with all that's my might,
how will I make it alone, through this terrible night?
I'm reaching out and there's no one that's near
All that surrounds me is neverending fear
I can't find the words to describe how I feel
But I know that so soon it will all be too real
I can't accept that you're gone, and not near my side
each day I awake waiting to hear you arise
and some days I swear that's your voice that I heard
but am quick to accept that the thought is absurd
I don't know when I'll start living again
but right now I'm s
I walk so tall, so safe, so proud
but when you come 'round...
Nothing can shake me like you do,
My hands shake as I try to find the words to say,
those words that you won't turn me away for
the ones that will make you stay...
So happy, so planned...
everything was set...until you...
You told me not to go anywhere
so here I will sit and wait,
Wait for you to come home to me
and tell me that you love me
You're my stupid Ashley, and you'll never be more than that
I try to tell myself each day
that you're nothing more than words I read
But my heart is telling me differently:
that you're more than it really seems
I know this is wr

What Is This Feeling?
Dear God, this has never happened to me
I'm begging for an answer, one that will satisfy me
This time I'm not drifting, rather, rushing out to sea
I'm afraid that he won't, oh he won't be able to rescue me
Oh, so afraid that he won't be able to rescue me...
And I don't want to betray the love that we have
but my heart and my head are quarraling constantly
and this fear of mine, so deep inside
It's new and unknown,
something I'm trying not to show.
I'm clinging on to what I've got,
heaven knows that it's the best I can do,
but for some reason I can't get my mind off of you...
No, for some reason I can't get my mind off of you...
It wasn't meant to be by oooh-butterfly, literature
Literature
It wasn't meant to be
no one ever told me how it would feel,
this emptiness when you leave
I'm hurting you but you don't know
and I can't make you believe
We're not drifting,
just sailing different seas
you can try to hold me close,
but I'm impossible to please
I'll stay until I'm in too deep
then I'll disappear from you
I'll run too far and won't look back,
this is something I always do
my heart weighs heavy
oh so heavy in my chest,
you can try and ease the pain
but you just need to let me rest
It shouldn't have happened this way
Yes, it happened oh so fast
I told you words I never meant,
I knew it couldn't last
Who were you to stand in the way of love?
You cast such a shadow, no one could see the light

Because you slammed that door
I hate you shattered all my dreams
by throwing them on the floor
I hate that I tried so hard

I hate that you were using me

I hate that I played by your rules
and the fact I let you win
I hate I opened up to you
and my heart I let you in
I hate that every chance I got
I'd pick up the phone and call
I hate that to you
I didn't matter at all

my strength breaks and I cry
I hate that every time I hear your name

If the wind has no compass how does it know where to blow?
She asks me with blueberry lips,
The Styrofoam feast we shared lies forsaken in this wasteland of paper plates.
An abandoned popsicle-stick lying in its own juices
Holds my gaze and so many memories;
The colour horridly vibrant—like bluest blood on so much white
Sun-baked.
A sweet demise for a sweet confection.
Angels on my shoulder insist on Science, on Proof, on monstrous Fact.
Maybe you'll dream the answer, Dearest;
Life always seems to overlook the best questions.
Her smile speaks of fresh-cut grass, magenta crayons and plastic castles
Where she is always the Princes
Raking up sticks and stones
Rotting decay of worn bones
Skeletons of beauty
Trapped along your window scape
Flowers all aligned
In a garden of your fate
One row for pain
Another for hate
The rest were never planted
...Or maybe just stepped on and pulled out
Rescuing the dying from this hell
Arrows point to misleadings
Rusty shovels for your burial
Broken glass casket
This couldn't have lasted
Through acidic tears
Remorseful years of digging
Searching
Finding nothing
Just what I've always wanted
Nothing
Blank face an erased slate
Guiding towards the end
Beginnings of sins called everything
Tears stain the concrete

I'm sitting up and I don't have a headache - yet. It feels so good and free to finally be sitting and not feel like my head is going to rocket off of my body. These last few weeks have been so terrifying, and so calming all at the same time.
There's so much to be thankful for - I'm not dead, that's the first. The second, this isn't fatal. The list goes on - I'm finally getting answers, I'm not crazy, I got treatment, I learned I'm capable of so much more than I could ever have imagined. I live in Canada, and it's clean and safe here. The most important thing I learned though, most definitely is that I am loved. I am so loved it's overwhelmin
