Tiffani Williams

An error filled canvas.
Marks of past mistakes,
Almost erased
But never do they fade
...

Let introduce myself

I am ____
...

but as i replay in my mind
a million ways you've could've made it right,
phrases you'd never say,
the fibs i had to tell myself,
...

I recall a person I once knew very well;

but i don't anymore
all those times she felt on top of the world
...

and i sacrifice my rights, my privileges
because anything's better than losing you
as a result, i build my life,
only big enough for you and me
...

If silence is golden as they say,
Why don’t we shine like a million lights?
Unless they meant that silence is heavy
cause that it is, definitely.
...

Mounted on a weak limb
Lies my sanity and my morality.
Threatening to break,
Collapse and shatter.
...

In the middle of a disaster, I created
For myself, and myself only.
You come and you come to save me.
And though it’s been a while
...

I think I should just take these feelings,
Take them, and hide them.
Away from you.
Away from intruders
...

Hidden from the cameras
You frame inside your mind
Just behind your eyes,
I cry.
...

You can have my past
wrapped up like a present
and tied with a bow,
so crimson, it almost glows
...

You remind me of a time when I knew who I was.
but like always
the second hand on the clock catches us
it always does
...

A look, a glimpse, not a phrase
was all you ever needed to determine my place
I’m not, never was nor will I ever be the perfect illusion of perfection
I think, perhaps, I never learned the definition
...

and wash away the process I’ve made
or at least pretended to make
Things shouldn’t have ended like that.
Things shouldn’t be like this
...

as least for the moment
you look at me
I want to know
you find me the
...

I sometimes watch
and wave at
but I never take a step to her
that old friend of mine,
...

and I fall hostage to my emotions again,
it’s grip grows tighter upon the beating of my heart,
and I hold on tighter to the sorrow,
that’s become all I know anymore
...

to see beyond what I knew
but you took my hand
and you led me to
the telescope
...

and I lose my place
and everything that made me,
the person I used to be
bleeds out of me,
...

you’ll never say.
and I’m losing things,
I never had.
and I’m falling in holes
...
