“We” are becoming a game
A game of Hide my feelings
And Seek your touch
A game of Memory
While you memorize my curves
I memorize the curves of your smile
A game of ring around the truth
and let the thought of being together fall right down
my cheek as I cry from your words of
Guess Who doesn't love you
“We” have become that Puzzle
With the pieces that all look the same
And I’m not sure if our pieces fit together
One of those puzzles with the pieces that look like they’ll fit
But you won’t know for sure till you finish
But you aren’t sure you want to try hard enough to find out
A game where you Chute me that look
And I start to climb the Ladder
Even though I know I’m gonna have to slide back down eventually
A game where I constantly think about the sweet Candy that is you
and Land right back into reality
Knowing you’ll never get the Clue
And I’ll be the one who is Sorry
Even though I should have known you were Trouble all along
I’m starting to learn that this is Life
And the War with myself isn’t worth it
It isn’t worth
feeling like the Paper
While you are the Scissors
when really we are both stuck under this Rock
We just keep calling for Red Rover
to send sanity right over our way
so we can finally figure out the Monopoly of
Forged seduction
I’ll just continue to Go Fishing for the words
to unlock our mystery
so we can finally Connect
our Four arms together
‘We” are becoming a game
Where we are constantly Tagging
each other to be the one to say It first
A game where feelings are Cooties
and we have to Circle our brains
to find the Spot
Where we find out if we even have a Shot
You’ll just keep making me Tick
While I try to find a way
to Tack a label
Toe how I feel
Until I realise this is just Child's Play

In another life,
I would not be the girl
I am today.
I would not be
too pale
too freckley
too fat
too awkward
too lonely
too quiet
too much of a pushover
too oily
too pimpley
too plain.
In another life
I imagine myself
as a silent assassin.
With power and might;
I glide the rooftops
and dominate the night.
In another life
I am a sassy bad girl.
I'd pop off in seconds,
and attack with cunning skill,
so that none would mess with me,
unless they'd want to get killed.
In another life
I am a thin and hollow body,
a nameless maiden who roams
halls of white tile.
Donned in a buckled down
white jacket that crosses
at the arms so I constantly
get to hug myself.
In another life
I am not
the girl I am today.
I would be someone,
with a story worth telling.

The first time you
Said hello,
I didn't know whether
To freeze at the fact
That you were acknowledging my existence
Or to freeze at the ******* fact
That YOU were acknowledging my existence.
She was a writer
and I fall inlove **** easily.
Her metaphors, similes, sonnets
on Sunday mornings.
but she never
wrote about me
"I loved you (past tense)
but you never quite loved me"
Concrete would crack
and grow old before
you ever admitted that you needed me
and at the time I didn't think
much of it
Because my mind
Was 3 years ahead,
contemplating on which
apartment we should call
"Ours",
but I should've seen the signs
and listened to my fragile
but accurate heart.
I chose not to,
Because who would?
(Nothing good ever comes
from listening to the voice
Inside your chest)
This poem is about you,
but it is also not about you.
Because if I leave you under
the impression that it's meant for
somebody else,
I might be able to salvage
my barley-breathing pride
Or I could swallow it.
In hopes that it doesn't claw it's
Way out of my mouth
And whisper the words
'I still love you'
That would be awful.

I barely know you.
I don't know your
favourite colour or
how you like your coffee
On a cold morning,
I don't know a thing
about who you loved,
or who loved you
I know none of these things.
but I do know your heart,
your soul;
you intrigued me like a
new book in the winter,
Darling

I don't know if I'm in love with you
Or the idea of you
And that terrifies me

Every time I see you with her
Another star in my supercluster of hopes
**Burns
Out**

I want to tear my flesh off
And break my rib cage open
And pull my heart out
To stop this awful pain
I want to fall off the edge of a cliff
Arms stretched out wide
And hit the ground silently
And never ever be found
I want to drown in deep blue waves
Have them pull me down deeper
Because their suffocation
Wouldn't hurt me like you do
I want you to understand what you do to me
And see how much it hurts
I want you to vow to never do so again
And help me fix my wounded soul

I can hear you voice in my head,
Clear as a summer day,
Speaking those dreadul words I heard so long ago
And I flinch
Just as I did when your words first slapped me in the face

Your back is turned to me
And I am freezing cold
But I won't cover up,
Hoping your warm arms will reach out to me again

I finally got rid of my anxiety
Only to have it attack me
In my dreams
