What would it be? Besides another leftover, One of those countless ***** socks Discarded Unwanted A cigarette **** the flame stomped out by someone just as caring as you Tossed out of a pickup Tumbled in a ditch Laying with the rest of the fragments This memory

writing over and over again like a naughty schoolboy, repeating i will not disrespect the teacher i will not disrespect the teacher until the lesson is scarred into his mind and the paper except i'm not a naughty schoolboy i'm a brokenhearted, ignorant girl trying to get it through my head you don't like me back. i have no feelings for you i have no feelings for you i have no feelings for you i have no feelings for you i write. and write. because that's what you told me. not ceasing until i will learn the lesson myself, but now it's my heart being scarred

Scarring Repetition
The girl looks at the stars and moon Wondering if they could take her away But the moon stares stonily, not seeing And the stars fall out of the sky They sparkle in her hands And mix with the teardrops Until the moon cracks and cries too Cries for the girl with the lonely smile She hides the night Under a smile Perfect on the surface But cracking underneath

Constellation Girl
Beneath the surface of ourselves We mourn Our souls wear the black As it rains, the black color bleeds Tarnishing what is us, our only remainder Our last stand in a crowd of uncertainties The inside can only stand so much corruption, less hardened than our outer calloused and bruised covering Soon it's too much A private funeral Open casket with unblinking eyes Still looking for the white to balance out the blackness inside

Stains
The curtains, always drawn From the inside Yours are the thickest black velvet Yet my curtains are open Forever, always Made of dainty lace I can't see inside your eyes But you can see in mine

Swimming through the mercury Bribing your eyes to stay dry Ears are ringing The Devil, whispering Promising things you know aren't true But you believe him still What else is there to believe in? Not me. It doesn't really matter The mercury will **** you first But not before your soul is frozen Forever in toxic blue
