twenty-three // / / you've bestowed upon me a hallusigenic dose of something I've never dared to admit I ever wanted
It's not that I don't like you. It's that I'm afraid to ask. I'm demanding and I seek. I'm afraid that you can't give me the things that I want. Would you still want me by your side? Would you still want to hold me in your arms? Would you still want to kiss me? I'm someone who needs time. Time to develop, time to be ready. I don't kiss on first dates, not even on the second, not on the third. Could you wait till I am ready or would you give up and turn away? And when the time comes, you'll know. I'll hold you tight, I'll hold you close. But. if we were to kiss, would you do it the way I like? Would you take your time and kiss me so slow? I'm demanding like that. I'm afraid and insecure. But I do obtain a heart that could love if given time.

If given time, I could..
I possessed a heart so capable of loving you, along with your harsh words and your mistakes

you were loved
If you say you love me My body is yours, colour in the lines Don't let your hands go and wander Beyond the edges of mine Just hold me tight Fingers tracing my spine Kiss me tender Harsh along my neckline

I'm glad we're not transparent, they will see our inner bleed, the heartbreak leaking from our hearts, and the secrets we can't keep

transparent
The magic carpet left in the corner collecting dust, You broke my slipper; the one made of glass, I went and changed but i didn't win the battle, My love was always out there but it was him I couldn't sea, My hair was never long enough and I was a reflection of plain bareness, I was told I wasn't fair and mirrors hated me for my ugliness, I don't have space of my own and wouldn't know of colours to paint with, Everytime I close my eyes I'd be woken not by a nightmare Fairytales don't happen for girls like me

he felt small and I took him in, I fell in love and I saw him grin, and then his claws; they held me tight, and he grew his teeth but not to bite, then one day, his eyes; they swayed. he learned to roar, came out his claws, scratched at my skin, the pain begin, step into my skin and touched my heart, jumped onto my bones and I fell apart

when he learned
please tell me that you're big on happy endings, 'cause there can't be two bads in this love that we're both finding, there's got to be one; out of us both that's gonna carry the other, and i'm hoping you're up for it cause i'm the hopeless and i'm the sad, so once again i hope it's you and i hope that you can; or would you prefer giving up and to simply forget each other?

there can't be two bads
I don't know what's worse; To fall in love again eventhough you know you're going to get hurt, Or to shut the slightest bit of feelings out They say we learn from our mistakes, Which now I know is a complete lie, Cause' I can still look at you, And bare the tears from my eyes

one/none (choose)
I look into the full length mirror, You all know I'm not good enough, One ugly face, one messed up body, Coping with emotions is straining tough. I look into the full length mirror, And I don't know what to feel, All I know is that the walls are caving in, And nothing feels quite real. I look into the full length mirror, And I see the girl I said I wouldn't be, A girl with so much self consciousness, Who would take a jump to feel a little free. I look into the full length mirror, I see the fake smile on my face, Hiding hurt and bleeding sadness, Isolating myself in my own space.
