Crystal Eyes
"She permeated the world around me with more colors than I could have ever imagined. Instead of the dull grey that clouded my vision, painting everything in a dark contrast and drowning out life's most vivid pigments, it was filled to the brim with various hues and paints,
staining my heart in a beautiful way. She was like the light as it hit a glass prism, spreading her colors until everything in sight was tainted by her beauty.
Hell, even her name was a color:
Scarlet.
My world was painted in black and white, until she came along and colored it in."
Troubled.
"I don't think you ever really know who you are, until you lose who you are. You don't know pain until the person you would give your life for plucks the pin off of the grenade, leaving you standing alone in an open battlefield. You don't know love until the source of your happiness leaves you weak and withering in agony.
He loved me. He loved me so much that he forgot to hate himself. He was so busy putting me before everyone else that he didn't notice the storm inside of him start to break, allowing the few rays of light to shine through. He brought me back to life. He was the rain that nourished me and masked my heart in green once again. He promised me he would get better and he did, God, did he get better.
BETTER LEFT UNSAID
"he was far gone when we touched
i opened like a book and he damaged me with ink
the words held within me no longer had meaning
for he gave me a new one; his little fool
like a puppet he tugged my strings
made me dance and sing and feel
nothing i ever had, nor ever would again
he was distant but i thought i could reach him
broken in pieces but i knew i could fix him
he wanted me when the moon was full
and as the sun rose he was a stranger
but i knew him better than i knew myself
until he moved to the next beautiful fool
with golden locks and a chilling charm
she sang sweeter songs in his ears
and he drank her in like red wine
like the stain she left on his lips
i was a memory
long forgotten behind his eyes
which were blue, and all i ever see."

And then, something inside him shifted; not only did it change him, but it affected me as well. He took every ounce of passion and respect I had for myself and crushed it under his boot. He hit me right where I was weak, and I don't think I've ever felt pain like that before. He damaged the person I once was, changed and manipulated me into the person I am now, and wrecked the person I was supposed to be. But all the pain, the tears, and the lies... I would do it all over just to feel his love again."
