17/F/the floor about as consistent as my dad
I want to breathe your flowers. To take in your thoughts and extending vines of knowledge. Your intoxicating grace captivates me. It surely captivates everyone around you and it captivates our friends. They gravitate towards you and I can't blame them. You're beautiful, smart, funny, charismatic, and pretty much every other good thing about a person. I am nowhere in comparison. You don't have to deal with the intrusive thoughts or the breakdowns that appear out of thin air or the weight of not being enough. You don't have to deal with the weight comments, or the acne tips from everyone you know, or the intense burn of insecurity when you wear anything restricting. No, you're perfect, and I'm fundamentally broken. Everyone will cry when you're gone but no one will bring a flower to my grave.

I hate the way you laugh I hate the way you smile I hate the way you kiss I hate how you’d rather just sit back and talk for a while I hate the way you look at me I hate when you don’t look at all I hate when you remind me of my wrongs I hate how I feel so small I hate the way you make me feel and most of all I hate how I don’t hate you at all

10 Things I Hate About You
one word it’s enough to hurt me. it’s not your typical insult, nor is it mean. it’s a name... that one single name can slice a new cut into my heart, make my eyes prickle with tears and make my throat feel like i have barbed wire wrapped around it. if only i had been enough for that name to not exist

painful love
when you’re gone, i miss you. when you’re here, i’m too nervous to be myself. when you’re gone, i have confidence. when you’re here, i hide in my shell. isn’t it ironic?

irony
death, pain, love, heartbreak, failure, and abandonment. they say it’s inevitable. are we inevitable or are we forever?

inevitable
my muscles tense and i clench my teeth. holding back what i’m thinking, what i truly want to say. “i want you to be mine. stop giving me half and half, like bits and pieces here and there!” but i can’t bring myself to say it. nothing is said, because you’re just out of reach. besides, you’re with a girl much prettier than me. so why worry about something that isn’t worth it? because you’re worth something to me.

jealousy
when will it stop? these teardrops, the downpour? the rain beats on my back as it mixes with my tears. i can’t make it through the storm alone so please stay with me. i don’t want to get wet with rain and tremble with cold. it’s just a passing downpour, i tell myself. i won’t let it stay like this, i can’t. i need to be dry, i need to be happy. what happens when i stay in the rain? i will let it win the war, and the rain melts me away. slowly and softly, so no one notices me gone until it’s too late.

downpour
the stolen kisses, the flirting, the looks and the lust. we had it all. we were the recipe for fun. and we did have fun, then you got a girlfriend. and i was stuck with feelings, feelings that i didn’t recognize until it was too late.

nostalgia
help, i’m lost on the way back home again. everybody knows, our love is six feet under. it’s a hostage love, forced and closed off. we are a secret that no one knows. i’m breaking at the seams, lost and confused, abandoned by you. but it’s not your fault. its mine for falling so **** hard
