17/F Writing through life / or life writing through me
Dear Ghost, My mom asked if I talk to you anymore I asked her what for But in her eyes I saw my own break She wanted to know about the things that were still uncertain when you were with me I told her I don't know anymore I think she knew the breath it would take We laughed about how prom season was over I guess she forgot how I went alone I told her I'm excited for what's in store Though my voice cracked over talking about you And to my friends we laugh about your name Or about the way you dressed or your hair And I want to scream that it's not fair And I want to hope you feel the same Even though my life is fine without you Even though I don't want you There's a burn the shape of your name And I think I will always feel the same Because that's what love does to you

Letter to a Ghost
My hope lingers on my tounge So I wash it down with the exclamations of being young Oh I'm oh so young! I tell them, watching the setting sun The sun that closes each fleeting day Full of heartbreak that leads the way Of youth to a bitter adulthood of joy and play Of sunny days edged in gray Still summer comes and goes too quick Maybe, we think, this year the feeling will stick But the spring hasn't ended and our eyes are slick The clock still follows its tick, tick, tick

My hope, my fall
In the limited experience The teenage mind exhibits A Greek tragedy arises With no will nor thought left to prohibit it From following the fall To be loved by all those around Yet so utterly alone, is this fault owned? Have the stars behind our eyes Been blinded instead of honed Coming home on your knees you crawl To be loved to be loved to be loved To pine to pine to pine Tempting fate or maybe raging hormones Listening to Arctic Monkeys at one because we're fine With this unknown wall

I sound like a teenager and maybe thats okay
Craving sunlight The kind thats not quite right The kind you'd fight to have But instead cuts you into two halves If my melodramatic teenage angst phase Could be more than a cliché phrase Would I paraphrase instead of ode Light candles on the streets I rode

I cannot write about anyone but myself
Us kind of people my love Are meant for this world This life Meant for every push, welcoming every shove Tragedy befalls the beautiful or the detested In the eyes of its maker True grace The mercy of a life that could never be bested What other life could suit our sweet designs? Grapple our love and hatred, its sorrow And leave us with nostalgia in its wake My love, we were meant to dance outside the box, to follow the colored lines

In another life we were the same
Can't kiss my mother with this mouth A mouth stained with the taste Somberly stained with blood Thick blood drained from my teeth The teeth pressed into my tounge A tounge holding back every word Lousy words that would explain Perfectly explain why I hate I hate I hate how much I love whats gone

Everyones androgynous when looking into the past
I want to be the ghost That haunts your every move Each car that passes too quickly Every song thats meant to soothe Reminding you of the way I sang it when we drove for ten hours straight like we were gods I want to be the apparition In the corner of your eye The laugh on the other side of the room Who you want to comfort you each time you cry Thats always out of grasp just like breath was over spring break when all we could speak was in nods I want to be the hallucination Every time you go to sleep In the same way you haunt every day and night I'm awake I want you to tiptoe around your memories the way I creep But really I just want to know you hurt the way I do, even though in the end it was my fault you no longer respond

Ghost sightings **** local teenagers
Is it selfish That I miss your secrets, your loudness The way I knew everything Or I thought I did Is it selfish That I miss being the one, you turned to when a mess Laughing the loudest with Because there was nothing we hid Is it selfish That I miss every **** thing, every habit Each small moment Like we were all eachother had Is it selfish That I miss calling you mine, the only one who could have it A world as perfect as you Even though in the end I made you sad

Somethings due but grief doesn't wait for anyone
In the distance I can hear fireworks Explosions of color Echoing something new No fear but excitement and wonder I'm tired now Of the blandness in each day Or the color that fades too quickly Never staying like they say I miss the brightness of your sun Though I said I'd stop missing you There hasn't been a day I didn't picture us Near again like we could be something new

Something new
My bra's don't fit right anymore My hair is too long and too short I don't know what I keep it for My eyes are tired at the sight but sleep seems impossible My lips are cracked the skin is dry My fingernails are peeling the feeling is unnerving My body feels too big like I lacked the right to be myself My ego is too big for the self-esteem I posses My friendships I've kept don't seem to last My hole I continuously dig has been filled at last

The ode of self-pity
