Pick a note Any note Watch it tremble Shiver like a songbird’s wings Wailing through your fingers An echo of your pick Crashing through the realms Of the different notes to choose Take it down Pull it up And sing Sing like a shivering string

The String
Did you **** him. Don't answer anything else Those four words That's all I want know. no apologies. I don't want you to tell me you're sorry yes or no that's all I want to hear. The answer won't make a difference we both know that. it's over but I still need to know your answer will be the bow I use to tightly fasten up the present I am ready to leave behind. the color does not matter to me.

Mistakes And Regrets
I. In youth I have known one with whom the Earth In secret communing held—as he with it, In daylight, and in beauty, from his birth: Whose fervid, flickering torch of life was lit From the sun and stars, whence he had drawn forth A passionate light such for his spirit was fit— And yet that spirit knew—not in the hour Of its own fervor—what had o’er it power. II. Perhaps it may be that my mind is wrought To a ferver by the moonbeam that hangs o’er, But I will half believe that wild light fraught With more of sovereignty than ancient lore Hath ever told—or is it of a thought The unembodied essence, and no more That with a quickening spell doth o’er us pass As dew of the night-time, o’er the summer grass? III. Doth o’er us pass, when, as th’ expanding eye To the loved object—so the tear to the lid Will start, which lately slept in apathy? And yet it need not be—(that object) hid From us in life—but common—which doth lie Each hour before us—but then only bid With a strange sound, as of a harp-string broken T’ awake us—’Tis a symbol and a token— IV. Of what in other worlds shall be—and given In beauty by our God, to those alone Who otherwise would fall from life and Heaven Drawn by their heart’s passion, and that tone, That high tone of the spirit which hath striven Though not with Faith—with godliness—whose throne With desperate energy ‘t hath beaten down; Wearing its own deep feeling as a crown.

In Youth I Have Known One
If you accidentally              fall out of love, Do you just dive                 back in head first?            Feet first??                      Eyes closed???         Cannon ball????              Or Do you walk away        Cause you can't swim And you're scared to death                    of drowning?????

#DownDownDown???
No friends to leave behind No family to wave be good bye I'll walk away now And give up my final try It's pretty easy to leave here It's not that hard to go I'll walk away now Out in the blistering snow The frost comforts me greatly As I tread on through the cold The white encourages me to go on And justifies my being bold With no one to look back on With no one to pull my slack I will walk away now And never come back

Walking Away
and its weird because I don't really know him but just the thought of getting to know him makes the butterflies in stomach have seizures. I don't really know him but I think he might be the one who saves me

To Be Continued...
I. Boy with the silly laugh We were best friends. You were there when my father left and I was there when you had your heart broken. I knew you didn't love me. But I didn't care. That was the beautiful part about it. I still loved you knowing I wouldn't get love in return. I hope you found what you were looking for. II. The first boy I ever thought I'd marry We spent so much time together and yet it never seemed like enough I remember the first time we slept together. My curfew was 11 but I still walked through my front door at 8 am the next morning. My mom was so mad, but that night you tasted like heaven and I knew that's the only time I would ever get a glimpse of heaven. If there is a God, I know he brought you to me. III. The boy who ran out of time I remember the day I met you, you played with my hair. I remember how you'd always smell like vanilla and coffee. I remember our first kiss, how your tongue would glide around my lip. I remember the scratches and the screams to the angels. I remember the day I last saw you. I remember a full sanctuary with 100 shades of black. I hope you're resting. I hope you're in heaven playing baseball like you did as a child. I hope you know that when I told you to leave I didn't mean for you like this.

A Poem For Every Boy I've Ever Loved
You say, "I ate so much I want to go anorexic" You don't know but I'm anorexic I'm a loose cannon Doctor says I'm gonna die any day now but I can't stop All I think about is food, and calories, and how good my hip bones would look if I was only 5 pounds lighter I have no friends anymore. But I'm surprised. Even I hate me. Even I don't want to hang out with me. I have no life besides sitting at home thinking about carbs As dead as I look from the outside I feel more dead inside As cold as I am all the time, my heart is colder. So don't you dare say you want this life Don't say this is desirable Because its not.. I hate myself. If only I was skinnier...
