this is supposed to be poetic but i'm just a little girl
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO AND YOUR MOUTH IS CLOSED, GLUED SHUT BY THE WORDS THAT THEY THROW AT HIM, THE WORDS TO MAKE YOU WANT TO SCREAM AT THEM AND CRY FOR HIM AND NOTHING IS GOING WELL AT ALL, FOR HE IS YOUR SUN AND YOUR CHARON AND ALL THE ******* STARS IN THE MIDDLE, FOR HE IS YOUR BROTHER AND THEY ARE ******* KILLING HIM, AND *THE TEARS BEGIN TO STREAM DOWN, AND YOU BEGIN TO PANIC, BECAUSE* ***HE IS YOUR SUN AND YOUR CHARON AND ALL THE ******* STARS IN THE MIDDLE, FOR HE IS YOUR BROTHER*** *AND THEY ARE KILLING HIM, AND NOTHING IS EVER THE SAME.*

WHEN YOU CAN'T SEEM TO SPEAK
I POURED MY ACHING HEART INTO A POP SONG WHERE YOU WERE MY MISSING PIECE AND I WAS MERELY A FRAGMENT OF YOUR THOUGHTS, A BITTER WHISPER YOU GAVE NO THOUGHT TO I POURED MY ACHING HEART INTO A SHOT OF ***** AND LEMONADE / AND THOUGH IT MADE NO SENSE TO ANYONE, IT SEEMED LIKE THE PERFECT COMBINATION AT THE TIME I POURED MY ACHING HEART INTO A GLASS OF WATER / AND GAVE IT TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU WERE DYING OF THIRST- BUT I DID NOT KNOW BACK THEN, THAT YOU WERE COLD AS ICE ANYWAY I POURED MY ACHING HEART INTO THIS POEM / IT SEEMS TO BE THE MONA LISA OF THE EMPTY ROOMS / BUT WHAT GOOD IS THE MONA LISA / WHEN DA VINCI WAS NEVER THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

THE BALLAD OF MONA LISA, LITERALLY
*and I know I'm not good at a lot of things. I can't promise you the world or the stars and I definitely can't promise you I'll love you with my whole heart - because I need some space for me, too. I won't be able to go to Jupiter for you and don't expect me to compose love ballads for you every night. I'm not that kind of girl. but what I can promise you is that you're the only one I write about, even before I met you and when I learnt to write I swear, my first word was your name. you were fated to be the words on my paper - doesn't that count for something?*

ten word story
1) I remember the night when you repeatedly told me I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry and I was confused as to why 2) the next day you left you didn't even spare that mixtape you made me last year you took it all (along with my mind) 3) I saw you two weeks later at the supermarket and you seemed fine and your hair was fine and the girl kissing your cheek seemed fine but I was a mess, if you cared 4) you told me before that skin cells change every twenty-eight days and now your temperature is fading from me and so are the memories so would you do me a favour for old times' sake? 5) can you hold me tight again and kiss my neck like you used to and give me twenty-eight more days because I am all over the place and I just really need a mark to know that I exist

twenty-eight
you have tequila drowning your senses the way his kisses used to and I have shots of ***** burning my heart when I take you back to mine you strip every piece of clothing you have / silk laced bras land on the couch as I touch you everywhere your arms / your legs / your fingers / your hips / your mouth / everwhere except your heart because you'll leave in the morning (and I will too) when you drink coffee back at your place all I'll be is the guy you kissed to try and forget the taste of him but I don't mind — because all you are to me is just another name that escaped from my lips at night and I tried to make your body sound poetic but all it is is w i l d

***the red lipstick smeared on your lips makes me want you to leave hues on every inch of me*** ***we're sinning everyday and we'll probably go to hell, but jesus christ i don't care because i've already tasted heaven on your ******* hips*** ***and **** it's not that i love you, it's that you taste so good you almost make me want to***

I have been an atheist for as long as I can remember - but one touch of your coca cola flavoured lips pressed against mine and I'm questioning if god really does exist and I used to see things in black and white but all you are is grey grey grey - I mean, what kind of angel does such sinful things? your lips whisper passages from the bible but *jesus **** your hips convey a type of language we might go to hell for and you wear a cross around your neck even when we're ******* because you say I make you feel like you're in heaven and god god god is all you say you've got wings on your back but I'm pretty sure they're coloured black
