What do you do

When home was a person

And not a place

Do you just sit and wait

To rebuild your home

With someone else

Or do you tear down what’s left

Of that place you once called home

Do you pick up the pieces & rebuild

Something beautiful

Or do you lose yourself within its walls

How do you get over the one you loved

Do you move on

Break down

Scream out loud

How do you become yourself again

When all that you’ve known

Walks out that door

I'm shivering

Shaking

I can't keep my breathing down

My mind is racing

I'm pacing

And I seem to be bound

By the chains of my mind

Keeping me in a bind

I don't know which way is right

Or how to turn myself around

I'm stuck in this frenzy

Lost and all alone

No where to go

That I can call home

No one to hold me

Or help me

I guess I’ll just have to do it alone.

Tell me

What did the moon say to the sun

As it began to drift the wrong way

Tell me

What did the sun say to the wind

As it began to blow faraway

Tell me

What did the wind say to the trees

As they swayed the opposite way

Tell me

What did the tree say to the man

As he runs away

Tell me

What did the man say to the child

As he left that day

She stares at herself

So bare and exposed

With a softness in her eyes

And a tightness in her cheeks

She brings herself joy

Then takes another peak

With eyes so wide

And lips so frail

A tear falls down

Her Rosie little cheek

She shatters inside

Like the mirror she sees

Cutting her soul

And making her bleed

She grabs her dress

And picks up her shoes

Wipes off her face

And gets in the mood

To meet all the guests

Dancing in her ballroom

Before she knows

Her prince enters the room

Leaving nothing but the sound

Of his clicking shoes

He asks for a dance

With a bow and a hand

Gazes into her eyes

And kisses her forehead

He tells her she's beautiful

With a smile so kind

That she can't help but

Advert her eyes

He sees her tears

And grabs her chin

Pulling her close

Into his embrace

She looks into his eyes

Lost by the sea

She realizes

He was meant for her

I'm boxed in

Lost in

The sea

Of captivity

Reaching for the top

The voices screaming

Telling me not to stop.

As I lie awake

Day dreaming of all my mistakes

I realize what it'll take

To forgive the heartache

Although I know what to do

I can't bring myself to

I just need to get through

Until there's a breakthrough

Please just tell me what to do

I’ve never felt so alone

With so many people around

No one really understands

What’s going through my mind

I try to explain

& show them what I feel

But all they do is listen

without their ears

I’ve never felt so alone

With so many people close by

No one knows how I feel

No matter how hard I try

I try to pick up the pieces

But when alone it’s so hard

To many sharpened edges

Waiting to tear me down

I’ve never felt so alone

Like no one is really around

There’s no one there

To help push me through this time

I try so hard

To be who they see

But I don’t know who is she?

Because it’s not me

I’ve never felt so alone

With a room full of love

No one to hold me close

And tell me it’ll all be fine

They try so hard

To understand my pain

But they’ve never listened

With more than their ears

I’ve never felt so alone

With so many people around

No one really understand

What’s going through my mind
