Sometimes, I wish I was cold-hearted. And I have no idea why.

Cold-hearted
You'll never read this. And I'll never see your face again. Not in real life anyway. It pops up. In my dreams. In my train of thought. Sometimes. Many years ago I thought We were The story of infidelity *** in the park Secrets And heartbreak. It turns out We were The story of lies Unintentional love Undeserved passion And lessons learned All the wrong ways. And now I know You didn't love me And you didn't love her. And I'm glad I'll never See your face again.

Hey you...
I used to think about you every day Bittersweet and nostalgic Now I think of you when the moon is blue I forget your middle name

by the way
I am from nowhere special. I am from a small place. I am from bonfires and intoxication. I am from my parents. I am from their love. I am from their hate. I am from a womb that later housed two others. I am from lonliness and self-mutilation. I am from Ramen and frozen pizzas. I am from mental illness. I am from coffee and cigarettes. I am from Grandma's biscuits. I am from laughter and too many tears. I am from getting high on the roof. I am from an altered state of mind. I am from my mother. I am from seeing the sky. I am from hope of better things. I am from the search of soul mates. I am from me.

The Curse of Scorpios
Six years old and we thought we knew How it would all turn out But Prince Charming doesn't Go through hell to find us He doesn't love us more Because we're not completely human The beasts don't transform Just because we love them One kiss doesn't awaken us We're never rescued from the Gustavs The Jafars Or the wicked witches And there are never any happily ever afters

Lies Disney Told Me
I like the way the sky smells in the summer And your hand in my hair I like coffee and cigarettes And how the ashtray fills with our secrets I like it rough And every end of a good book I like the greener side of happiness And the way it was I like a mystic sense of humor And magic

It's just...
In fifteen years When you've signed your third set of divorce papers And I've had too many one-night stands to count When you've got two kids in highschool And I've written three unpublished novels When our lists are long And our hopes are gone When our youth is a memory And half our lives are over ...that's when we'll get married

I guess...
You can barely see the scars On my thighs Anymore That kind of bothers me And I'm not sure why We talked on the phone For hours the other day The fact that it had been years Didn't even come up You're married again And you're having a baby I didn't have anything to tell you Because there's nothing to tell You said you missed my laugh I asked why You said she doesn't laugh Then you said she does But it's always the same It did make me think of all those years ago The fighting The screaming The crying The cutting The laughing The *** The heartbreak The longing The jealousy The secrets The silence The words At least then I had something to talk about

Phone Call
I'm content I like myself... How I look... Who I am... But I have writer's block Because I have nothing to say When I'm happy
