Easier To Run

She stands tall and proud with a smile that could kill,
Telling those old love stories with definite skill,
And she chokes back her tears with the whiskey,
As she smiles, seeing so much of him in me.

Holding that old photograph, she stops and sighs,
And it's easy to see the horrid pain flow in her eyes,
But she looks at me and smiles and says: "Look at us!
We'd always go down that dirt road, kicking up the dust -

My Mom would yell at me when I came home at night,
Telling me I didn't know what I was doing, that it wasn't right,
But we were so naive, nothing could keep us apart,
So I didn't listen to her, I just followed my foolish heart."

And she holds that photograph as she looks over to me,
Smiling the best that she can but it's easy to see -
The pain that she keeps hidden inside of her head,
But she looks to me, with her eyes bloodshot red -

"I still remember when he sat and held my hand,
He was still so poor, couldn't afford no wedding band,
Said he'd always be by my side when all is said and done -"
She lowered her head and sighed: "It was easier to run."

Breaking the habit please :D

Breaking the Habit

Breaking the Habit

My addiction. My obsession. You’re taking over me.
My future. My past. The presence of our memories.
You loved me. You don’t now. We are said and done.
You hurt me. You were sorry. Smiling in the sun.

This is the day I say goodbye to you forever,
Breaking the habit of dreaming of us together.
No more waiting up all night thinking of you,
No more wondering if you still love me too.

It’s over. It’s done now. I’ll get over it with time.
It’s simple, you broke me. I know you aren’t mine.
You made me cry when you said goodbye,
You made me cry when you said those lies.

This is the day I say goodbye to you for good,
Breaking the habit like I knew that I should.
I’m not waiting for your call…waiting by the phone.
Not waiting for you anymore. I’m fine being alone.

~*Who Cares?*~
hope that's ok:)

Somewhere I Belong

Screaming is coming from down the hall -
It's amazing she can still hear it all.
The words fly out past her locked door;
She just can't deal with it anymore.

The crying is just another excuse -
For them to continue their verbal abuse.
Their words hit harder than any hand could;
As she lives her life just trying to be good.

"It's not fair," she sighs and the tears begin again.
"When is the pain going to end?"
Then they burst in, yelling their abuses;
She almost wishes that they left some bruises.

No one will listen; no one will care -
About a broken-down girl, given a life, unfair.
Though she may try, it is not much fun,
Living the life of an abused one.

They finally leave her, feeling so broken,
By all the hurtful words they had spoken.
She wishes there was a way they could all get along -
As she criese, "Is there Somewhere I Belong?"

Awesome!
