My soul is black, like my coffee. Kinda broody
You love like my cell phone camera trying to focus. I want it to focus on a certain apple in the tree but the camera always wants to focus on the Apple next to it. Annoying, it is. I’m not sad that my camera is focusing on the Apple next to the other Apple because this Apple is actually in better shape than the others. This Apple is perfectly colored red with a small, pale yellow patch on the side.

You love like
I saw a picture of you with your new granddaughter I'm disgusted . So beautiful and innocent I wonder how long that will last Before you destroy her life I hope you have some kind of compassion and love for her I hope she doesn't grow up thinking men touching her is okay because you touch her I hope you don't touch her I hope you never never touch her I hope she lives a great life.

I hope I’m the only one
Empty like the nail polish you throw away because it's 'empty' but it's not actually empty because there is still some product left in it but it's not useable because it's so dried out and close to the bottom that no one wants to try to use it so they throw it out. Like me So empty like how I have no energy to show any kind of emotion anymore but if you dig really deep you'll find some dried up old feelings but it's too deep in there that no one wants to try with me anymore so they just throw me out

You are rough around the edges but you are so soft and sweet on the inside You are like my favorite kind of brownie

Seven days ago you kissed me on my head and told me to never leave you, that I was a the sun and you were the earth Six days ago you asked me how my day was and I shrugged and smiled and just kissed you so I didn't have to pretend everything was okay Five days ago you brought up the argument we had last week about that girl from your work and asked if I was still mad about it Four days ago we made love and I swear it was the most amazing thing I knew this day I could love you forever Three days ago you texted me and told me you couldn't see me because you had plans with your boys and you haven't seen them in a while Two days ago I saw you in the background of a mutual friends picture, you were with that girl from your work. Two days ago my heart broke Yesterday, we fought for hours and you said "I love you" to me more than you have in the past 6 years and I couldn't believe you because how could you love someone but hurt them so bad Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll wish I had never met you.

Seven days
I remember how embarrassed I was when you wanted to record me leaving for prom and I didn't know how to tell you that it wasn't even a big deal so I just let you do it anyways and just acted like it wasn't happening when my date showed up I asked my mom if she could pull you aside and remind you that it's not my senior prom, it was my dates and that he can record me in my senior prom but she didn't want to hurt your feelings I am glad she didn't I am glad I didn't You never made it to see my senior prom. You never made it to see me graduate from high school or see me get my first job or my fist car or start school in the fall You never made it to see me grow into the person I am today and people always say you're watching and you're proud but I don't believe in that You told me once that life is too short and no one will ever have enough energy to do all the things they want to but you told me I spark like the sun and my energy is more than a five year old child and even more energy than red waves You're an inspiration

Inspiration
I'm trying to be happy And positive And glow But it is not for me I'm trying to be good And write about happy thoughts And not write about how every time I smile my face autocorrects it to a frown and I can't help it because that is just me I'm trying to be happy because that's what people tell me I'm trying to be me because people tell me to be myself But myself is sad Sad is me I am sad

Trying to be happy for all the wrong reasons
I looked into your eyes when you laughed at the joke I made the other day about something that I don't even remember  and it reminded me of when I was 3 or 4 and I knew my dad was on his way home from work so I would always wait in the living room so impatient and excited and as soon as I heard that door open I would get so happy and my eyes would light up and sparkle and I would wrap my whole body around his one leg as he struggled to carry me through the living room like that. I wish I could find something to give me that sparkle again.

Your laugh is contagious
your 7 year old daughter asked me why you didn't just stop drinking if it made you so sick and it killed me to tell her that you couldn't no matter how hard you tried this was true The tears I cried were not for you they were for them, your beautiful daughters you left behind because you loved the bottle so **** much God I wish you could see what you did and feel terrible about yourself i wish I felt more sympathy for you Last Christmas my aunt cried to me about you because she wanted to take the girls over to your apartment so you could spent time with them and when she called you were already drunk with no presents so she lied and told them you were out of town.

Something I'd never say out loud
"Like for a tbh and rate" was your status and I liked it at 10pm and you rated me a 8.5 and said I was funny so I deleted the post because an 8.5 isn't good enough for me because funny 8.5s aren't the kinda girls you date and not being the kind of girl you date KILLED me at 14 Jesus I thought being  called an 8.5 by you was the end of the world because everyone thought I was popular and pretty and I've never gotten less than a 10 for liking those stupid posts and to think that you didn't think I was as pretty as all the other guys did KILLED me at 14
