Mexican "Hold onto your heart; it's going to get depressing.."
There are so many types of beautiful. There's the one you see in the magazines. The one that is as artificial as it is mesmerising. There's the one that hits you like a jolt. A sudden flash of something, maybe sunlight. A ray of bright that blinds and inspires. But you are my favorite type of beautiful. (m.a.)

"Beautiful"
Lately it seems, you're into so many different things. While I've been sitting on the sidelines of your own self distruction. I'm worried you'll lose yourself. I'm worried we'll grow apart. Because this person you're looking for may not be what you want. and while you struggle to find yourself, I already know who you are. (m.a.)

"Who you are"
I am not afraid to fall in love. I am afraid to fall out of love. I am afraid to forget what I once felt for someone, because I know what it's like to be forgotten. (m.a.)

"Afraid"
A kiss on my wrist won't fix the scars on my heart. (m.a.).

"Kiss"
I understood. Or maybe, I just said I did. For the sake of dropping the subject that made me feel so bitter. I'm so happy for you. Or maybe, I just said I was. Because that is the right thing to do, for someone you love. I know it will hurt less when it's over. Or maybe, I just said I knew. Since lately the only things that make it numb, are lies. (m.a.)

"Maybe"
Don't talk about depression, like it's something you know. It isn't a game that is easily beaten. It is a battle you constantly fight. It comes in flashes more of darkness, than of light. It isn't beautiful. The scars aren't pure, lovely, or a sign of worth. They are a sign of hurt, in the most disgusting, repulsive, brutal way. You took that razor, you sliced your skin. It wasn't to show your pain to the world. It was to punish yourself, for being the inevitable... you. And if you find that beautifully tragic, look a little closer, listen a little harder. You have no idea what you're seeing. (m.a.)

"Beautiful. Lovely. Tragic."
There's something about a pair of old sneakers, that is just so hard to let go. They were a part of you, for so many days. They hold every puddle you stepped in, every blade of grass. The gravel, the mud, the sand, the pavement; it's all there. So maybe it's not about possesion, maybe its just about the travels, and the memories, the ones you don't want to let go. (m.a.)

"Old sneakers"
Go ahead. Judge me on my mistakes. But the days are seconds, and the years are minutes, and I can afford to **** up once in a while... (m.a.)

"Days and seconds"
3:16 am I am missing you. I am missing the still beat of your heart. I am missing the way your body fits beside mine and warms me. I am missing your sleepy green eyes and the way they becon me back to my slumber. 3:17 am I am missing you. (m.a.)

"3:16 am"
Its a tidal wave of sadness. I feel it creep up. I feel it swallow me completely, blurring my vision, what I once saw as important, now a figment. This hurt is too much to bear and with every pounding heartbreak, I can tell. I can see that the end is near. But I refuse to plummet off the edge. I'll be stronger than I am today, tomorrow. But tomorrow the me that I was today, will be washed away, the tidal wave collecting a new captive. (m.a)
