Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. <br /> -Benjamin Franklin

Being with you

Drains all of my energy



And it takes everything I have
to hold on to my sanity

Every snide comment




Disguised as a petty joke





Reminds me of the monster in you







Hiding and Waiting








Until I do something to set it off

Nobody sees

But I see it all.


I know your insecurities




And you make me feel every emotion you feel







The creature in your heart


Is taking over



The man
I thought I knew

I was blinded


By the potential

Your smooth lines held.






But now














I see it all
