vi.

just how much love
which existence
should i lie about?

"I think you're beautiful. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

No.
Not when you use the same word to describe every other dark haired, light skinned woman.
Not when you look at me and say
"Of course I think other girls are prettier than you."


"But I still think you're beautiful."
Stop.

"So my words are just empty to you?"

*Of course.

when your heart is broken and your  love denied
and your eyes are swollen with all the tears you cried.

when your mind is restless and you cant go to  sleep
  with your emotions in a tangle running very deep.

give your self some time this will make it heal
and change the way you think and the way you feel.

start again once more open up your heart
begin your life a new and make a brand new start.

People told me
       "get over it"
I tried.

People told me
       "get better grades"
I tried.

People told me
       "stop being so quiet"
I tried.

People told me
       "you look tired, get more sleep"
I tried.

People told me
       "just **** yourself already"
I'm trying.
