American Hi.
I can feel myself slipping again. Kind of like how you slipped through my fingers. Numbness is sweeping over my skin. It makes me cringe.. I don't know what to do or how to handle this I hate it.

Slipping
Today someone asked me "Do you consider yourself to be a happy person?" I told them yes But the answer is no Before you I was so positive and I had a smile plastered to my face During you I've never felt more alive and so content After you I turned into this self-loathing excuse for a girl who once had eyes that shined so bright I turned dull and lifeless and sad and not happy And I don't want to be that person anymore I want to be the me I was before you The version of myself that I loved the most That you loved the most And not because I want you back But because I want myself back You are nothing Nothing but a memory Like an old book lying dusty on a shelf And I am something Something worth it For someone who can see that I don't hold anything against you In fact I love you And I will always love you But I will never be in love with you again Because I am better than this I am better than what I put myself through I am better than my scar scattered thighs I am better than the pages of hatred I wrote about myself I am better than you But she is better for you And I wish you all the happiness in the world I let go of you a long time ago But I never stopped blaming myself Until now And maybe toward the end I was ******* crazy But I guess love makes you do ******* crazy things And someday Someone will love that about me It wasn't you. It was never you. That's okay. I'm okay. And I'm about to be a lot better. So **** you world **** the people who put me down **** myself for putting me down And **** you for not seeing what you're missing Because I'm something worth missing I'm worth it. I am. I.R.G eat your heart out.

baby I know you've been burned in the past but tonight i will show you some things can last so take my hand i'll lead the way don't look back let's get out of this place your eyes shine like stars against the flicker of the street light and just like this city we'll be up all night lets drive to the edge of anywhere, but here tangle ourselves in passion and throw caution to the wind with your foot on the gas and the wind in my hair let's turn up the music and drowned out our fears the tears, and the lies the scars, and the bruises let's leave it behind in the rear view mirror don't be scared just breathe in the cold look in my eyes you'll find something new and bold my heart's on my sleeve and my hands on your chest i lean to your ear and whisper "what's next?" with no plan in mind and no destination in sight we'll race the moon stopping only for the starlight kiss me slowly grab my waist i'll chug back that whiskey only for the taste as we lay in a field under the star kissed night i reach for your hand drunken delight we can run and run but we can never hide so let's never look back let's run for life.

let's run for life
starry eyes starry eyes oh how i love those **** starry eyes they shine and they gleam they make me want to scream they pierce through my skin they caress every vein those **** starry eyes sparkling like champagne your stare is electric it cuts through my core i can feel it in the air there's nothing i don't adore about those **** starry eyes i can't look away from those **** starry eyes.

starry eyes
alone in your arms alone i lay alone here tonight i don't need you to stay maybe i''m numb maybe i'm crazy maybe it's the way my vision goes hazy but i know you're here i can feel your touch your arms hold me tight but it's still not enough i still feel empty i still feel that void i'm drowning in confusion my sanity has been destroyed i can't shake this feeling it rots me to the core and despite your strong arms i don't want this anymore i've been tossed to the side and thrown in the trash it's been a hell of a ride but there's no turning back and maybe you're different and maybe i'm wrong and maybe you're the reason i listen to love songs but until i can breathe and my hands stop shaking my back will be turned cause i can't stand faking i can no longer deny the ache in my bones "it's not you, it's me" i sound like a drone i'm a train off it's tracks derailed by my thoughts i don't want to hurt you but i'm  twisted in knots i'm an unsolvable puzzle a mystery to myself so walk out the door there's nothing here left it kills me to say you're not what i'm missing so please forget about this no more reminiscing one night of bliss won't set the course don't look in my eyes they're filled with remorse so alone i'll remain alone here tonight i'm sorry my darling the time is not right but don't give up hope cause someday you will see i'll move past this it'll be just you and me i'm fighting real hard to figure this out but i can't lead you on or fill myself with doubt so hold me if you want it's at your own risk but when the sun rises i'll be dust in the wind.

I will ruin you
Leather and Lace It's a killer embrace wrapped up in sin a mischievous grin lock the door clothes on the floor your eyes are on me my heart beats wildly pull me close breathe my name I've never been one for your stupid little games The bed is soft your hands are rough "God you're so beautiful" I don't dare call your bluff shallow breaths and heaving chests there's lust in your eyes fingers caress my thighs you smell of leather as you pull down my lace I snap my eyes shut and drink in your taste once I was cold but now I am burning burning and yearning for more of that embrace it's killer it's wicked and I can't get enough my insides are stirring my heart skips a beat my mind is far gone I realize you've won but so what if you did because in the moment in that very moment I've never needed you more The feel of your pulse it races against mine my heart thuds once more and then I open my eyes hooded stares shaky limbs I fall to your chest and breathe in your skin it warms and tingles my inner core sending a shock wave until I can't take any more lust and love I couldn't tell the difference i just wanted you to stay and hold me and wash all of it away the sorrow the pain the loss of innocence the darkness beneath and the lack of what once was the feel of your body it lingers against mine as you reach for your leather and I pull on my lace I turn to your face to see the emptiness still remains You pull me in your arms one last time no words are spoken and the silence echoes Your arms fall to your side and in one long stride you unlock the door The silence is broken by the slam of the door a mirror falls off the wall and just like my world it shatters I'm alone again and left to contemplate is it even worth it anymore?

It's the scent of bud light and cheap cologne that brings me back to that night The night you told me I was beautiful The night you told me to stay And so I did I stayed Because I was intoxicated Partly from the alcohol and also from the feeling of your body against mine The way you held me strong in your arms And pulled me to your chest And smiled And laughed And stared Until you couldn't bare it anymore and neither could I You grazed your hand lightly against my leg and you told me You told me you weren't afraid of my scars You told me you weren't afraid of my past You weren't afraid of my darkness But you were afraid of clowns And I laughed and I beamed And I was glad you didn't see the tears that fought so hard to escape I swallowed back my lump And kissed your perfect lips I wished I wasn't broken I wished I could be everything you needed But I'm not And I might not ever be I can't see past the fog But i'm trying my damnedest My scars overcome me But so do you It's a battle in my heart And it rips at my chest But I look into your eyes And I see a future full of hope, and light, and happiness And maybe one day I won't be so Broken.

That Night
Time is funny Time is cruel Time snatched you away Now what the **** do I do I thought you would stay I thought this was forever But I'm a moth to a flame And your a heavy endeavor ...

**** time
There you are High above me High above us all and You don't even do it on purpose Hold yourself there, I mean You just are You just radiate light and You don't even do it on purpose You're like my own personal sun My own personal smile My own personal fill to the void and You don't even do it on purpose I can feel my pulse I can feel yours too Your eyes shine in the darkness and You don't even do it on purpose I need you here I crave your touch To lie in your arms and breathe in your scent is ecstasy and You don't even do it on purpose You just are. You just do. You just exist and that's enough for me.
