American "I am the artist, and I am the art."
I met a man today that reminded me of you; tall, charming, perfect in every way. And that smile. Even though he throws it about freely. He held the door for me, but got distracted, so it slammed in my face. I guess he's more like you than I thought.

How strange
Just make them stop, I am sick of these voices being able to move so much faster than my hands.

Velocity
I don't know whether I'm being realistic or just simply missing the logistics, but I miss you, as antagonistic as you truly were. *Stop it, Olivia. You were nearly dead. She aimed the gun at your head. You were just begging to be fed.* Leading me up the path to perfection Every downfall, providing correction. I'd fail and fail again, you'd be my only friend. *No one threw stones, You pushed everyone away. You're soul was not very well portrayed. You were nothing but bones.* My only friend, though.

I can try to forget, I can, I just might Wasteful sentiments caught. It's been years since I forgot.

and you are?
Look at me through the mass into my eyes not at my ***                You seem to believe                I'm not that.                peel the skin                **** the fat make me laugh make me cry something, anything just please don't lie                I understand                Can't read your mind                But I've seen it before                I know your kind                                                                  Can't fool me.

On the outside
Oh those eyes; innumerable amount of eyes. Just following me. Gazing at me. Staring at me. Glaring at me. As if I were deformed; a monster that doesn't meet the quota for aesthetically pleasing. As if I were a deviant; fearing that they may the next victim of whatever scheme I am concocting. As if I were a cow causing earthquakes with each step I take. As if I were a stick figure recoiling at the slightest touch for fear of the pain. As if I were a diety. Bold and beautiful flowing gracefully across their path. As if I were a genius. Just waiting in line to hear my views on the world. Or maybe they're not following me at all. Maybe they're looking right through me. Straight past me. They don't even notice me.

Paranoia
It's a giant steel padlock latched onto an even greater door. Bullet proof and flame retardant. It opens for no one. Not for friends. Not for family. Not for lovers. Not even for me. How can it be that something so strong can be so weak internally? It is me.

Security
I loath you, you ****** Your words were unfair. Your actions were worse. I thought that you cared. "I thought you were different." You made me believe I was more than just *** then you moved onto her and you moved on fast. You loved but yourself, your love wasn't true. Your love was a lie and it lies just like you.

Another Failed Love Story
These tan lines remind me of a time when I was truley happy. Not long ago I was with you. My sunray - the only one that I don't despise, could never block out. These tan lines remind me of you and I. Misplaced. A bit uneven. But they will stay there as long as my sun ray continues to shine.

Tanlines
I feel like the ground is moving beneath me. Nothing is steady. If only I had something to hold on to. This isn't flying. This isn't even floating. This is falling.
