After Dark

She wipes her mouth,

Looking for another one to devour.

How can something that seemed so sweet,

Become so sour?

It’s not right,

The way their words cut like a knife

Deceit in their heart,

While masked in a charming disguise;

They’re playing the part.

It’s superficial at best,

but not known to the rest.

But I know,

That masks come off after dark,

When the fun is done,

And all that’s left

Is a hole in your heart

From their loaded gun.

Mattress Memories

Laying in bed Reminiscing on each of the times you were here with me On this mattress, There was love, Lies, Tears, Cries, Pleading, And goodbyes. It's worn and torn Covered with patches displayed like battle wounds It creaks like my weary heart, alone in the dark When my heartache is far too much.

Your love Started a domino effect In my life I keep searching And, still, I can’t find Happiness, The kind you gave me I’m so alone I miss calling you my baby.

I wanted to see us grow, Like tulips in the spring They were your favorite, I know. I miss your soft glow, Your smile that drove me wild, The mystery hidden Behind your eyes. I wanted to hold you close And kiss away all your fears and worries. I risked it all for love, And that, still, was not enough.

My heart aches, Beautiful girl, I thought our souls intertwined I thought I could win your heart And make you mine.

To my surprise, Did not want my love You fed me lies You wanted me as your puppet for your amuse and my demise.

Alas, I had to say my final goodbye.

She loves me, she loves me not

You’ll never know, How much I loved you And I admit, with pity, that I still do.

You’ll never know That I think about you every day And how I’ve never been truly happy, since you walked away.

You’ll never know That my heart craves your caress, your love, and affectionate kiss.

You’ll never know That I pray about you every night And dream about your smile and bright, cheery eyes.

You’ll never know That to me, you were just right That I miss holding your hand And squeezing you so tight.

How could you have lied and thrown our love away? You left me, And a hole in my heart.

Do you ever think of me? Do you miss me?

I guess, those are the things I’ll never know.
