I could write such beautiful poetry about you I could write about how your eyes sparkle when you get excited Or about how your arms feel when they are holding on to me I could write about your jawline that could cut glass Or your collarbones that could hold oceans I could write about your elegant hands and how they feel when they caress my arm How they touch me the same way an art collector touches a painting Slowly and cautiously Like they aren't supposed to be there I could write about the way your eyes follow me when I walk Or how your arms always find their way around me I could write about the time you held me up And how I let you I could do it It'd be so easy It'd be so easy about the night we spent laying in the park looking at the stars Or about the time we first met when you decided holding hands is the best way to travel About how you rolled down a hill with me a couple hours after it rained And you gave me your sweater because I was cold afterward I could write about all of it But I won't Because you are with a girl that puts hearts in your eyes With someone that you feel comfortable and safe with Even though you are under appreciated Even though she leaves you in need of validation Even though I'm pretty sure she is going to cheat on you I won't write about the chemistry we share Or the feelings we have Because you are with a girl who puts hearts in your eyes But I will write about one thing I will write about how she may put hearts in your eyes But I'll put stars I will take galaxies and give them to you in a perfect little box Because I know how important they are to you Because I know how to listen And I always listen to you

You know how much I care about you. And you know how much I crave your attention, and you know I'd wait forever for you. And **** you cause I think you plan on making me wait forever. I think you thrive on the fact that I'm so in love with you it hurts and I think you love the fact that no matter what you do to me, I'd never give up on you. So **** you. **** your perfect smile and perfect laugh. **** your eyes and how your voice sounds when you talk about something you love. **** how your eyes light up when you look at me and how close you hold me. **** you for knowing just what to say to make me want to be around you forever and **** how perfectly we match up. Just **** you. And I'll wait for you, for whenever you decide you want me. I'd wait forever. An **** you for knowing that.

To Him But Not Really
I could tell you about the way he looked at me Like I was a deer head above the fire place in his basement Like I was the first place trophy he just won simply by existing Like an object to be obtained To be won Sure as hell not to be asked I could tell you how I mistook that look for love Like he wanted to be with me Like he cared about what happened after he was gone Like a lover A friend Someone who actually cares about you I could show you where he touched me Physical and metaphorical On my body And in my subconscious Making me flinch when a hand is raised Or when I see the red dress that "just didn't fit right" I could make you fall in love with him With his sweet words of forever and always His promises and wishes The way he carded his hands through my hair And the way he kissed down my neck I could do a lot of things And so could he The only real difference is I know where the line is.

You started a revolution and I got caught in the craze Your words created an ocean and I drowned in the waves Promised different and better to the people outside Gave no indication you had something to hide Speeches destroyed mountains and men We were all behind you with sword and pen We fought battles against something we didn't get You didn't give us a reason to not trust you, as of yet Waging a war that we never thought to take up Was it cool aid we were drinking in that red solo cup Word of you spread like smoke You said we were no longer such a joke We were a force to contend with, that's what you said We all believed you, until we started turning up dead You put pipe bombs made of pipe dreams in our head and set them off The ideas that dissipated with the smoke made us cough Those promises you made guilded mistakes we now know Vibrant colors and bright lights can't mask a ****** show

Unbelievable
My eyelids are burning And I don't know why I'm still awake It's 3 AM and I just want to sleep But for some reason I can't And it's not because of a certain person or a certain event I just never felt the need to be asleep even though being awake ***** I'm so tired And I'm so exhausted And I'm so done with being awake past 3 AM I have to be up in five hours Did you know you're the first person to ask me why I stay awake Multiple people ask how But you asked if was it was insomnia And I just said yes Because I didn't want to tell you that the nightmares are so bad that I rip my hair out in the middle of the night I wake up sometimes with my hands bleeding because my nails have been digging into my palms with fear I wake up to my leg spasm They've been tense for hours I can't do this anymore

I'm so sorry I thought you didn't like me I thought you were making fun of me You are so amazing and I didn't know I could hurt you I don't even know if I did hurt you All I know is you don't talk to me anymore And you're friends tell me you're romantic and sensitive And I'm just an insecure flirt who uses jealousy as a tactic to get what I want I didn't think it might actually hurt you And I want to be whatever you want us to be Whether it's friends or something more So once you read this text me I'm sorry
