You two look great together.
Some may even say
a match made in heaven.
He's my best friend,
almost like my brother,
and you . . .
You were my everything-

This relationship was my
Armageddon.

The two most important
people in my life
committed
the most horrendous
betrayal
known to a man's heart.

I was fooled, I was played.

Both of you grabbed my heart
and just destroyed it;
y'all tore it apart.

My soul,
my smile,
my everything
was just an illusion.

I loved this woman,
heart and soul.

And he,
who I thought was my brother,
knew exactly how I felt
for this woman.
He knew I wanted to give her
my name.

But they both schemed
a plan together.

Traitors.

And now I'm here,
drunken with anger and hate.
Asking myself,
"What did I do wrong
to receive this fate?"

After I have told you so much
Laid down so much in front of you
My struggles
Dreams
Needs
Wants
Secrets
I've opened up
I've let you see into my soul
The darkest parts
The foolishness
The stupid, giddy side of me
The things I wouldn't dare to dream of telling someone else
I chose
To open up
I made the choice
To trust
Again
And look
Once again

Lies have broken me

I have this canny little part of me
That somehow chooses to open up to people
Who LIE
And the lies are what hurt the most

Acting Naturally
We lie:
to everyone
and anyone.
Especially
 
ourselves.
 
For some of us
it's natural;
like blinking
or breathing.
 
For some of us
it's necessary;
when the truth is
too much to
bear.
 
For those of us
still moral enough,
it is difficult,
even painful.
But never

impossible.

We were made to lie.

Are you scared yet?
Are you
Paralyzed by fear?
Are you afraid to lose the boy
You truly hold so dear?
For you had given him all you had,
When you hadn't much to give.
It's difficult for you to forget the past,
And just continue to live.
Live without the worry;
Live without being so scared.
Love someone with all your heart for once;
Something you previously never would have dared.
Love until you feel true abandonment,
And loss of all control.
Your hand need not be on the wheel.
Let it be driven by your soul.
Let him guide you along.
Believe in his loyalty.
You know that he is smitten with you.
You know that he is yours.
So calm down and walk beyond
Just the receding shores.
Feel the waves around you
Force your muscles to relax.
Let it engulf your pale frame.
He is your present,
Not your past.

Trust Issues
 Aug 2014 Mariah

I cannot help but think
That everybody is lying to me
I never used to have that problem
In the past, I used to have faith
In those I surrounded myself with
But lately, that isn't the case
I question everything people tell me
I question their feelings and their thoughts
I hardly ever believe the things they say
Especially the things about me
I don't believe I'm loved or wanted
I don't believe I'm interesting or worthy
Despite being told that I'm all of the above
I suppose in past relationships and mishaps
I've come to develop trust issues
Being lied to so many times by people I once held so dear
And invested the most faith and confidence in
Being betrayed by those people
When I never thought it was possible
Has ruined my chances of finding true happiness
When will I heal?
When will I restore faith in humanity?
I have a feeling personal changes need to be made
So I guess that starts today

Broken.
Broken hearted. Broken soul.
Broken will. Broken goals.

Never knowing where to start.
Never feeling not apart.
Never knowing where to begin.
Always looking around the bend.

Always thinking "what if?"
Always singing little riffs.
All about what is new.
All about the Mountain Dew.
All about swimming pools.

Never ever being cool.
Never ever failing school.
Never ever a clear mind.
Always knowing how to rhyme.
Always forgetting the good.
Always being misunderstood.

Broken,
like firewood.
