Today in English class we read Hamlet
By William Shakespeare
And Hamlet tells his lover
"I loved you once"
And it reminded me of you,
Except I still love you.
Or maybe I don't,
I'm not sure.
All I know is everything reminds me of you,
And you're still the last thing on my mind before I fall asleep at night.
I've written you so many poems and letters
That you'll never read
And even if you did, you wouldn't care.
I've been in a lot of fights with a lot of people
But none of them have ended better than "and even after everything I just want you in my arms right now"
And I remember staying up till 4AM with you that night,
Gasping for air and begging you to stay.
It was the first time you expressed any emotions for me- besides lust
But you still wouldn't say you loved me
And you still wouldn't say it after you left me
For my best friend and then came crawling back,
And you wouldn't say it after I told you how broken my heart was,
But I bet you said it to her when she was your homecoming date,
And I bet you scream it at the top of your lungs for her little sister now, don't you?
I've written this poem a million times but this one is the messiest, and my mind is messier.
I'd ask why you never said you love me but I know you didn't,
And I'm just glad I never told you I did.

A Door just opened on a street—
I—lost—was passing by—
An instant’s Width of Warmth disclosed—
And Wealth—and Company.
The Door as instant shut—And I—
I—lost—was passing by—
Lost doubly—but by contrast—most—
Informing—misery—

I can't take back the things that I did,
But I sure as hell wish that I could.
If I could, just turn around and apologize.
And make everything better, I would.
If I could sweep memories away,
Make it as if it had never happened.
I'd probably do it everyday.
But this isn't a fantasy,
It's a very real reality.
I should stop crying.
Stop denying.
Disappear.
I won't.
Because it's impossible.

I try to look brave, confident and strong
in front of everyone, it may be wrong.
It's because I learned to hide
what I really feel inside.
Even if it kills me, I am too proud
to show the real me to the crowd.
Unlike most people I always thought
it's better to have regrets than remorses.
So yes I'm dying behind my disguise
but you'll never see it through my eyes.

you tell me what's happening
and a white hot anger fills me
you said we could hang out
you promised me,
but you found someone else
you broke the promise.
and i'm done.
so i'll take this white hot anger
and i'll tear up
the wall of our friendship
smash the glass you put between us
me watching you have all the fun
while you have the time of your life
i'll throw away
the memories from so long ago
the joy they once brought,
has to go
i'll spit out words
that i've held in for so long
and forget the saying
never trust your tongue
when your heart is bitter
i'll scream on the roof
and kick dirt on your grave
i'm no longer fine,
i'm angry

Insanity, I can't find my sanity,
in the wake of all this
insanity.

Go to the concert of a local band you've never heard of or have a water balloon fight at 2 am or go to a new restaurant you've been wanting to go to, but for god's sake, stop falling into the idea that you have to be traveling all the time or have tons of money to have incredible adventures and make your life mean something.
(Some of the best advice someone has ever told me.)

you know?
we are as flexible as those bendy rulers
those school kids buy to measure things with.
the ruler stands straight on solid ground,
but once the ruler is up in the air,
it just flops over to whatever side.
we are so certain on how we
are all suppose to flop to one side,
but sometimes people just flop
to the opposite side.
it scares people and they say its wrong,
but it's just people flopping to other side.

"you're a thief."
she exclaimed
the boy smiled,
a teasing wicked smile
"how?"
the girl huffed
"you stole."
"what did i steal?"
"you stole...
kisses
love
my heart
glances
thoughts
smiles
tears
hope
friendship
and everything
in between"
the girl mumbled
tears being to
***** her piercing
eyes
the boy nodded
"i guess i will
steal something else."
the girl cringed,
afraid of his answer
"what?"
"our relationship."
and he picked up
their relationship
and dropped it.
kisses vanished
love faded
a heart shattered
thoughts drifted off
glances evaporated
smiles cracked
tears fell
hope disappeared
a friendship expired
and everything
in between
dissolved.
