She was here when they were there.
Learning more about herself while her friends stood in the corners of rooms.
Thoroughly appreciating the world
while they lost track of time in their intoxicated hours
She didn't understand why they sleep in the bed of strangers hoping for an unlikely love
She would rather sit on her couch and let him lay his head in her lap
Reminded that she may have made thousands of mistakes but he wasn't one of them
She would never understand why society pushed lust over love

Never take anything for granted. People can leave as quickly as they come. Take pride in your work. Your loss is their gain, take nothing personal. A little can go a long way. Laugh often. Everything is temporary. Life is too short to be unhappy.

Im sorry that i keep writing you into poetry like you weren't already impossible enough. Love shouldn't feel like walking on glass. Arrange all my pieces into a stained glass window. I want you to fall in love with my colors. Go ahead hang me up with the same pictures your mother loved, I'm looking for home. Im sorry that i thought i found it in your eyes but i have a habit of falling asleep there every night. Next time i will reserve 3am for sleeping. if your heart feels like an inn, i suggest you buy a smaller house. Its all uphill from here. This attic doesn't carry bits of you in its closets. Im learning how to close doors. My lungs have become dusty from not saying your name. At night i breathe in constellations and share secrets between the sheets in my own mind so these days your name rarely gets caught in my mouth. Heres to finally letting go and seeing the sunlight. This is the first day i haven't woken up and checked my skin for your presence. People like you get caught in veins. Im sticking you to poetry, Im hoping one day, this is the only place you'll stay.

I wrote your name in the sand
The tide could not erase it
& the ocean has been in love with you ever since

caught smoking trees
it started with me
you were in my face
pushed me out of my place
i was out my window
i hit an all time low
i was chased
i picked up my pace
i ran to my friend
to my needs he could tend
dazed and afraid
i had got not what i paid
but in fact laced
i wish i had mace
i walked him back home
i was out all alone
i went over a wall
took a large fall
ran into the unknown
they had an unsettling tone
once they were near
i was frozen with fear
back on the ground
you could hear a loud pound
glass to my ear
this felt like a year
out like a light
i was unable to fight
awoke with pain
i had nothing left to gain
clothes were tattered
body was battered
stumbled through my door
he insulted me with *****
lied on my bed
thoughts racing through my head
out of breath
nothing left
back in my face
now i really wish i had that mace
i was back outside
my life felt like a lie
runaway home
i was accident prone
rumors spread
my reputation was dead
but after all this
i realized
ignorance is bliss
i stood back up
raised my cup
who was to blame
did you need to change
was it because of our fight
is it me that was right?
what if you looked through my sight
would you be able to forgive yourself if you knew you were the reason behind that dreaded night

i don't care about grand gestures or flowers at my door
i just want your teeth pressed to the small of my back
i want your stupid ****** sense of humor making me laugh at 4
when i have to be up at 6
