You truly are as beautiful as a rose,
Natural beauty stems from you.
Wearing confidence as if it's a dress you chose,
You are a Goddess that's true.

Admired by many.
Envied by quite a few.
You drive me crazy,
Got me lovesick as if I have flu.

But I'm not complaining,
Cos you brighten up my world.
Even when I feel as if it's raining.
With me, you never have to be scared.

Cos I'll take all your insecurities,
Bury them like a treasure,
And give you the keys.
Cos making you happy gives me pleasure.

I'll always be around when you need me.
Shining like a star,when days are dark.
Never worry about me leaving.
When you are down, I'll be your Noah's Ark.

Carrying you through the storms you face.
Even though you are not perfect,
You'll always be my number one like an ace.
So embrace your every defect...

I'm sitting on the floor
The cold tile floor is the only thing that's keeping me grounded.
Flashbacks start.

I remember you being mad at me and throwing a knife at me.
I remember you being drunk and throwing the beer bottle at me.
I remember when I made a mistake you yelled at me saying
"There is no such thing as mistakes!"
You screamed at me until there were tears coming down.
I remember you said
"It's okay if you did. Confess now I PROMISE I won't be mad"
And when I confessed you got mad and threw me to the ground.
If you wonder why I don't trust people, that's why.

I hear banging on the door.
The flashbacks stop.
I'm back on the floor of the bathroom.
Hands cold.
Heart numb.
Tears dripping down the side of my face.

Half day, half full or half empty?
Does half the day with friends cure the blues?
Did you know y’all would date?
Did you know you’d use drugs to numb the pain?
Did you know at one point 2 out of 3 of y’all would cut your thighs so deep your scars would pucker purple?
Did you know you would one day hear voices in your head?
Did you know in a year you'd have to move?
None of us knew life would be this way. How could we?
I miss the way it way before. I miss the half frozen creek and movies.
