American I'm just a girl, an optimistic realist, driven by a dream.
I'll give you everything, until I become nothing- only a shadow.                                                                              *the former winces                                                                              the tip-toeing, and the                                                                              platitudes, loathsome.* Waiting with baited- breath. For different results than the binary.                                                                              *no expectations.                                                                              that's what you like                                                                              about it.                                                                              none of the drama.* Unfortunately, the answer is always null. Just like me to you.                                                                               *in all honesty,                                                                               I can't apologize for                                                                               being the real me.*

Circle back to me. Check in, check out- I guess- we’re ok today. My heart and mind know what I am waiting for, but something is missing. We’re on separate pages, and maybe even on separate books. You want to love me; To build, to grow, to learn, and all the things between. But I’m in peril. Floating between right and wrong. The good and evil. And I’m not sure that, the girl you fell in love with exists anymore.

Time is escaping Us at every breath
The love of my life. My person who is supposed to be here with me.   Is not. My person cannot see past our history. We'll always be more. Than friends.

My Person
Sometimes I wonder if you like me or if- You just like the idea. The concept. Seeing me is like seeing yourself, looking in a mirror. How do I know that you love me, and not the concept. You’re projecting. It’s all conceptual. If imperfect people create perfect love, then what are we? If imperfections make you beautiful, did I become grotesque? If the concept is more alluring than the truth, then is it a lie? If the concept is better than me, then maybe I’ll never be your lover.

Conceptual
Why do I doubt someone who has given me no reason to mistrust them. It must be because of You. The past that swiftly winds around my chest until I suffocate, and leaves me gasping and clawing for air. The past that immobilizes me when the situation is even slightly re-enacted. The past that tells me I am not worthy to be loved so well and unconditionally. The past that snakes into my mind and creates unheeded jealousy. Why.

The Past
*I would take the last metro every night, if that meant I would see you.* Je voudrais prendre Le dernier métro, si Je pourrais te voir. Je ne sais pas ce Qu’est l’amour. Je tiens à le trouver avec tu. Je suis cassée. Et je ne suis pas aussi fort, qu’elle semble ou crois. Toutes mes journées- elles terminent et commencent seulement avec tu.   Je prendrais le pré- mier métro, si je pouvais rester avec tu.

I would take the last Metro
I am a shadow; Cast only in the presence Of your mar'ked dark.

Shadow (haiku)
I think the worst nights Are the ones when we Cry ourselves to sleep. I said this forty- seven days ago. Now what do I truly have? I no longer think of what you are doing, or how you might be. I suppose that now I am once again free to be with anyone. Forty-Seven days since I said never again; It can’t be like this. A lot can happen between now and forever; the days are fleeting.

47 Days
I’ve been stabbed, excuse me while I bleed out. Tricked again. Cheated. When will you learn it hurts? You obviously didn’t learn when it happened to you. This is why I want to be emotionless. To not be drowning in this confusion, and pool of feelings. I’d rather be floating in a sea of nothingness. Lifeless. Empty. Alone. What’s safer than that? At least when I’m by myself- I know where I stand.

To not let people invest in me That’s what my motto’s been. To not invest in people, I’m leaving at summer’s end. Why then did I invest in you? What made me think that you were different? This is the same old song again. I’m probably just ignorant. I give my all and everything. I make the time to prioritize, And without fail- imbalance Try watching with my eyes. I know that you’re busy, And I know that you’re stressed. There’s no reason that you shouldn’t be. The clock’s counting down, time’s pressed. Our time together is short too, I simply wish to be relevant in your life. The petals keep on falling… Love me, Love me not, they cut like a knife.
