American Everyone wants to be more than what they are. / The challenge is finding someone who loves everything we were.
And it's bare clothed ******* with pebbled ******* tweaked too rough. Smooth skin bruised by calloused fingers and you remind yourself the fact that parts of you will leave black and blue. She's never been gentle, but neither have you. You like that she likes it to. It's a head thrown back, scream in throat but sound long gone. She makes you forget how to speak, but you can still hear her heart break. Mussed sheets she never bothers to make, hair too messy to be saved. Your eyes are too heavy to see it anyway. It's fast and easy. Hips pressed together in unsteady rhythm because you keep wondering what she sees in you.  Legs tangled in a sheen of sweat as you whisper sweet words to hide your lies. She stopped trying to hold your hand weeks ago. It's pliant lips that taste too much like cherry wine and kisses crested along your hips. She marks you because she knows the truth, for now though you let her have you. Feelings so high, she steals her name from your lungs over and over and over . And it's always after that that you realize this isn't love. But it's something. And so you tell her you love her anyway. *When what you mean is you'll **** her anyway.*

Love
She’s not you Then again I don’t think anyone could be you It’s different and it’s new And right now it hurts less to be with her than to bide my time waiting on you

You know what I haven't said in a long time? I love you ...isn't that the saddest thing

Forever to go
I don't have a heart I just have a hole of who I used to be And what you made me to be

If I could go back in time I would Because reality isn’t the dream I dreamt And I realize without you this is a show with no end Days we go questioning that in which we have done And I can’t forgive the regret I have paid The belittlement that you freely gave despite the pains we both made I’m sorry won’t cut it this time …I wish it would… But the things we have said Only opened the wounds in which we had stored away We can hide them as we please with bandages and sleeves But we can never pretend that they don’t still b                                                                                      le                                                                                           ed If I could change time I would wish for you and me I’d meet you earlier, not afraid of what could be I’d give you the stars and the hopes and the dreams that we believed I’d give you my love And for the first god **** time that would be enough **** everyone who says otherwise The two of us The story of an endless love If I could go back and change it all I’d be your king Will you be my queen?

Kings and Queens
if I could give you the stars, i’d light up the sky so you’d never be alone again. painting pictures of a love story stronger than the end of time. we’re not the modern Romeo and Juliet; maybe some would rather call it Juliet and Jane. not your average bedtime story, not the accepted fairytale. and it doesn’t make sense to me, nor does it really matter. anything they say can’t change me, because what I feel makes me stronger than I ever have before. Yes, I’m nervous. Yes, I’m going out of my **** mind with questions is it right? is it wrong? but I’m willing to try. cause for me and you, i'd fight a million and two.  Sincerely, Out of the closet

Sincerely
The moon has always been drawn to the stars An inexplicable pull, the intoxicated sight of the light The deafening silence of the smooth dark How does it feel to pine after something we can never touch? To be so close and know that it is never enough To hold on to love is easy We will always love the things we can’t have It’s never as strong as the sorrow of missing you though The empty space where I know you should be Tucked into my side, watching the night   As the stars explode and gases ignite As the earth turns round and the planets align And even if I know I could never have you Even if these words never reach you To the moon and back I will always love you

These scars on my body Engrained deeply into my skin, dark lines that can't pretend People think that I let them define me That these sad stories are my life That I could never go on But they're all wrong These scars that I love That are countless and plentiful Those seen and those hidden They don't define who I am But they remind me of the person I can't be again

Atheist It implies you don’t have faith That you choose not to believe But I have every confidence I have every bit of honest and true belief I just choose to turn my cheek I’m not atheist Despite the fact that I’d sometimes like to be

2:30AM is for those who wake screaming Those who lay with eyes wide open only thinking That no one can hear them 2:30AM is for those who have lost hope The insomniac who just choose to let go Those so lonely that they teeter on decisions no one should know 2:30AM is those for those who try to put the pieces back together The puzzles of their heart Mismatched and out of place Because all day you’ve hid how your puzzle continues to break 2:30AM are for those who are broken beyond repair Too far gone to even care They practice they’re smile Put the stars in their eyes Because tomorrow it’ll be time to put on show number 3,439 P.S it’s just one giant lie 2:30AM is not for those with their lives figured out It’s for those people like me Who feel as if they’re alone beyond belief When really there’s an army out there who stand next to us in grief ...I hate 2:30AM
