Rhyming is a bitch and there's more...

I'm not so sure about the whole rhyming thing, but I thought I'd give it a shot; it was a bit of a bitch.

You need no introduction for you are the terror behind her eyes
You feel nothing and revel in deceitful lies

To onlookers this mess is nothing but a broken child
Who withered away full of unimaginable denial

Though try as she might there was no hope within
For reaching out was unheard of; a sin

To escape the nightmarish realities, she hid deep inside
Full of foolishness and unable to let go, she clung to her pride

Too weak to withstand she slowly drowned in her sorrow
That girl of yesterday is this woman of tomorrow.

The following poems were written a few days ago, I just never got around to finishing and posting them.

I see the way you look at me now
As though you don't know me
As though you despise me
I don't like how cold your stare has become

Nothing I do is right
And it certainly isn't good enough
I'm tired of working so hard,
Just to get nowhere in your eyes

Disappointment rings in my head
I am all I have to offer,
This is my regret

This bitterness clouds my heart,
I can't forgive myself
All of the things I could have said and done differently
Haunt me like waking nightmares

Forgive me

I feel so far away from where I belong
It's raining and I'm alone
If only someone felt what I do now

The reflection of my angry eyes
Reminds me of who I am
Nothing true to you
But every part longing to be true to me

I can no longer stop my tongue to spare you,
Will no longer hide
I suppressed too much of myself
All to wrap you up in a lie

If these words weren't meant to be said
Then I wouldn't have them on my mind
It's doubtful that they hurt you more to hear
Than they kill me to say

Our time together has come to an end
Let these words make it final
I can't bring you peace
And I will no longer be your drug
