Hey there
I woke up thinkin of you
Your blue eyes
My white lies
The way I ruined it all
And I want to say I’m sorry
That I ever let my soulmate go
I was scared then and I’m scared now too

Because I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go

I see you with that new girl
Movin on
Looking happy like I want you too
But **** does it hurt too
I wish I could tell you
How I’m feeling
How I’m reliving
every stupid move I made
When I see you smile at her

Because I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go

And I saw your playing guitar again
Like you used to play it for me
And I’d **** to hear it again
Your little blisters
On my skin
I hope you gave up cigarettes
I know it’s my fault you picked em up
And I’d take it all back
Just to take you in my arms again
Sleep next to you
Feel your heartbeat

Because I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go

And I know it’s foolish to let you stay
In my dreams where I made the better choice
Where I fought for us when it was hard
And found a way to you when it was far
I still listen to Taylor
Because her voice brings me back to you


And I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go
But I wanna day I’m sorry
Do you ever want someone back once they move on? But love them enough to let them be happy without you

I wish I could touch you again, the way she does now

I wish I could make you laugh, the way I use to, knowing I never will again

I wish I could tell you how sorry I am, for what I put you through when we were together

I wish I could feel your lips on mine, just one more time

I wish you would break up with her, but I'll never ask you too

Because I got to love you once, and now she gets to

I remember when things were different
when we used to mess around
in the back of you dad's crv

I remember when things were good
when you used to kiss me
at every red light we passed

I remember when things were easy
when I would look at you and smile
when I caught you looking at me

I remember when things were fun
when we would have picnics in the park
Where we sat in the warmth the sun cast

But now things are different
You mess with my heart
if you think it will get you what you want

But now things aren't good
We fight like animals
trying to get the upper hand or last word

But now things aren't easy
it feels like talking to a ghost
who instead of a house, my heart you haunt

Hello
You never got to meet me
I never met you too
But you were with me
My little light
But it wasn't meant to be
You weren't meant to be
So instead I walk alone
I keep your picture with me
and wonder what your face would look like
would you look like me?
would you love me?
the way I will always love you.
But sometimes in life
all that's left is
Goodbye

You know me
Not my name though
I am ****
I am *****
I am easy

You talk about me
Not to me though
I sleep around
I'm an ice queen
I'm a myth

You hear what they say
But you never hear me
I got too drunk
I said those things
I'll never make it

You went to my funeral
But none of you knew me
I was kind
I was confident
I was too young

When a child wants the newest toy,
They cry And scream And yell.

Until they get the toy they want—
And they put that toy through hell.

Sometimes the toy gets broken,
Or the child just gets bored.

But once that toy’s been played with—
It holds no value anymore.

And what’s to stop a child,
From growing up one day?

And mistreating other things they want—
Only to throw those thing away?

I’ll never forget

I’ll never forget that night
I wore shorts with fishnets and a crop top
I had a black nose with whiskers
It was Halloween
I had fought with my boyfriend
I don’t know about what

I’ll never forget that day
When I drove to a college
While I was in high school
For a party with a girl
Who i called a friend

I’’l never forget the walk
To the house where the party was
How me and the girl started day drinking at 3
For a party at 9

Ill never forget the boy
Who we met at the door
She said he was trouble
That i should stay away from him
And that i should stick with her

I’ll never forget the way she left me
Told me to leave her alone
Left with only the boy to talk to
The boy who was trouble
And handing me drinks
As I leaned on him to stay standing

I’ll never forget his room
Where he took me while drunk
When I couldn’t stand
And he climbed on top
And took of my bottoms

I’ll never forget the way it felt
To have no control
To say stop
And feel him continue.

I'll never forget the walk back
the way everyone wanted to know why I had slept with HIM
and when we got the apartment
they had taken bets
on when he'd sleep with me

I’ll never forget.
He probably already has.
This poem is about something I've been struggling with for a long time. and it's hard. But if anyone wants someone to talk to I'm here.
