You say love you and like a normal person I respond with "love you too" and I mean it but do you?
Love is something I easily fall for I'm like a fish falling for bait the smallest things excite me
Do you remember our first date? Oh, how I loved it a day in the woods alone with you!
I brought the basket with food since I knew you would forget to its ok you told me you loved me
We sat and I ate you sat and you stared like something was on my face
"Is there something on my face?"
"No love other than beauty and perfection there is nothing else"
After that day we went on date after date always to that place each day, you'd enlighten me making me fall harder
Christmas came and I wake up to you text "Hey date at 10pm our place"
Before then I had all day to spend with my family we watched movies baked cookies like any normal family would do
10 came and like always I brought the basket of food because I know you would forget to
This time was different though you lead me further into the woods than we normally go but its ok I trust you since I love you too
While I place our things down, I notice you're not around
"turn around" you say you're on one knee my heart racing
You pull a box so small but its ok I still love you
As it opens there's a pill "take it.." you whisper
"Why..?" I ask softly
"don't you love me don't you trust me?"
"I do love you I do trust you!"
"Take it then because I love you"
I know I shouldn't but I did anyway and as I sat there nervously for nothing happened I had set my guard up for nothing
"Now no one will hear you."
I try to speak nothing comes out I yell still nothing... for that pill did do something after all
slowly but surely he pulls a small dagger from his pocket
"I never loved you I just thought it be fun to see who wins this game"
I back away as tears roll from my eyes for this man who told me he loved it was all just a lie? Why?
There was nothing else I could do so I sat there by the tree as he sharpened his dagger
He crept closer "Anything you wish to say?"
That angered me for I could not speak but with the smallest voice I was able to say my last words
"I love you too"
Days later

I sit by my window and look outside; there's nothing else that calms me down more than looking outside
Though my window is in my room Infront of your window too, it's always closed
Yes, I noticed I notice small things even when a leaf falls off a tree or even when a flock leaves a bird behind
but maybe I only do so because threes nothing else to notice
my room is empty and so is my house, it's lonely inside just my cat and I
maybe one day you'll sit by your window too and notice the things I do too
maybe we could be friends and wave through the window
but that's just my thoughts so maybe it's a maybe
but who knows...?

I wish I spoke
for the consumption of ten seconds,
so you'd give me your attention,
for one second,
and I’d feel
some form of validation,
in hopes that you’d return to me
for one more moment,
for I hate the unreturning.
I’m like the rising of the sun,
I want to linger
like cigars
on mustaches, lounges and lips
and spread myself
softly
in rogue-crimson,
peachy-oranges –
Van Gogh-yellows
and be deep
and mellow.
This makes me boring
and come off a little shallow,
because I’m too open.
I’m Kimberly,
I yearn for the digging.
It’s my destruction,
like an open pit,
I burn diamonds.
I want to see the bottom,
and hear the end of a story.
I want to see things
I’m not meant to know
and own with human eyes.
I want the thoughts.
I want the ground.
I want food
that fills me up,
for longer
than a few cravings,
than a bitter fool
and a few seconds.

I'm the golden duck I think I'm rare I'm shiny and gorgeous I remind you of the fresh summer air
Yet I'm different so much to compare between
me and my village they laugh and they stare
Even at home you see my family is sliver like as if white was a shiny color, oh how I envy them especially my mother
She's not only beautiful but also graceful she could
walk around and others would stop to stare; her elegance just made my life seem so much more unfair...
I look to the sun "Why am I so different I want
to be just like them perfection and all!" the sun didn't reply just shined brightly in the sky
Day by day I've slowly given up this is hopeless
enough, "you haven't asked me yet" the moon whispers so quietly
Why would I ask her she wouldn't bless someone as I
with such beauty I ask anyways
"Moon, I wish to be like them perfection and all! I want to be what they cannot be what the envy and want to become!"
"why" the moon looks into the stars. I knew it wouldn't work I was a fool to try...
"At the break of dawn go to where the sun rises"
with no other word she turns to her side leaving me wondering
"Is this truly going to happen will I no longer be different?"
Dawn is near but I'm on my way to the lake before the sun is up so very excited to see the new me
Finally, here ready to look in the lake that shimmers "Gold duck is that you?" says a shocked voice, it's the sun
"Yes, it's I" I refuse to make eye contact for the exactment is killing me
"Your very excited today" he says as he slowly starts rising over the hills
"Yes, for the moon has decided to hear my wishes and grant them!"
The sun stops rising and looks at me very concerningly
"Golden duck...for you haven't changed you are the same as you were yesterday"
sadness and anger fill me up inside "This cannot be so! I had made my wish very clear!" I stomp
"If I may ask what the wish was?" he looks focused on me
"Nothing more but simple, I had asked to be like everybody else but more of them I want to become what they envy and want to be!"
The sun raises higher over the hills now just enough to make the water clear and bright
"Look at your refection the moon did not trick you for every duck that you envy they all envy YOU the want to be YOU and they cannot be YOU"
All this time while I want to blend in all of them want to be me...I'm just a golden duck...and they all wish to be me

I am a kid, yet you say "grow up" when I grow up I "do too much"
I don't understand what you'll see me as, kid or a fool, please make up your mind
Now I'm grown and you say, "look at you now all tall and grown" Yes, I see I've now grown and see what I couldn't before
The kid you took as a fool was yet no fool at all for it was I younger I as a fool in your eyes
You pointed out flaw like as counting how many pedals fall of a rose
Yet I can't give you all the blame for you were treated the same
So, do you understand the way I felt while looking right into my eyes?
Or did you just let your guilt be washed over with pride...?

All by yourself sitting alone I hope were still friends I hope you don't mind yet again you say "It's never alright" I know you would surely mean otherwise
I want to love you I really do- but our touch is too far...
If I hold your hand, will you hold mines too?
Will you show me what love is again?
Or will we stay friends forever as time goes...
