I want my words to stick to you like poems we read
and my voice to play over your dreams and regret
Hope you'll never paint over the stains that we left on the world underneath us
hope you never forget all the places we road through and the ways that we kissed
I hear your name echo through me like a mistake I miss
And you'll wish I was near you when you're holding your breath
But we can never turn back to the place that we meet
And well wish for a moment a change in the way that you pulled yourself closer and I pushed you away

They put warning labels on things like cigarettes, they tell you they're bad for you, that they'll **** you slowly,

But there's no warning label on people, there's no sign on anyone warning you that although they are warm and calm you down they'll leave you cold and shaking on the floor feeling like your chest is cracked open wishing someone had told you to stay away.

People who tell you if you love something let it go, have obviously never been let go of.

They have never felt themselves slip through someone's fingers as if they were nothing but grains of sand

So **** that

If you love someone love them, love them with the intensity of the waves crashing against the sand love them like the moon loves the sea always pulling it back no matter what

love like both of your hearts could burst from how much love is inside them

So whenever someone tells you if you love something set it free.

shake you head and smile and know if you love truly love something

never set it free.

Watch out for me I'm like a cracked window you'll think you can see yourself in me, you'll think we have things in common, that I'm someone you'd want to know
I can promise I'm more trouble than I'm worth.
I'll pay more attention to the way your eyes squint when you laugh and how your smile is slightly crooked. I'll notice how sometimes you blink slowly and when your nervous you'll play with your hands.
I'll notice these things instead of listening to the words you're saying.
Then I'll write about you until my fingers bleed, I'll spend the next few years choking on your name
Don't fall for me, I'm afraid I'll take you down with me.

To me you were a star, you shone so bright sometimes it was blinding

But you know what they say about stars, that then can burn out and still shine.

Maybe that's what happened to you all your brightness burnt out years ago but you still shone.

Well I think your time is up, you no longer the bright star I thought you were, you're more of a black hole ******* everything in, destroying everything in your path.

Well I don't want to be in your path anymore, I won't let you take me shine away.

Roses are tricky for they have thorns, when distracted by their beauty sometimes you don't notice until you've already been cut.

I wonder, was I your rose?

The dull ache that you left me with is much worse than a sharp and quick pain

its like trying to saw off your own arm with a butter knife

it takes to long to work

and it doesn't hurt as bad right away

but when it finally hurts

or begins to bleed,

oh it hurts like hell, and you don’t think it will ever stop

I'm sorry for making you a stop on the way. You were my hotel room when I was your home.

I hope when she scratches her nails down your thighs and looks up at you, you see my eyes.

So you liked the way her eyes lit up, you liked the way her laugh made your heart skip a beat.

That was okay, until you made me feel you liked the way my eyes light up
and that my laugh made your heart skip a beat.

Part of me likes to pretend you were oblivious to it all.
The way my cheeks reddened when you smiled at me, the way my heart would beat so loud whenever you touched me.
I liked to pretend you didn't notice that when I said your name it made my heart flutter, but then I realized you knew, you always knew.

So if you only liked the way her heart beat for you then why, why did you make my heart beat for you too and then pretend you couldn't hear it?

You are the riddle I never want to stop trying to figure out
Why

Why
You asked me why

why I was laughing

You asked me what

what was I thinking

so now I ask you why

why did you push me and run away knowing I would fall forward and you wouldn’t be there to catch me?

what were you thinking

and so I must tell you I am no longer laughing and I think of nothing except for you
You
Haylee Feb 2014
You
No matter how many cigarettes I smoke

No matter how many drinks I take

No matter how many tears I shed

No matter how many showers I take

My clothes will always smell of you

My mouth will always taste like you

My eyes will always see you

And my skin will always feel *you

I used to hate you because you didn't care

But now I realized it wasn't that you didn't care

You're intentions were never accidental,

Everything you did was delectable, even hurting me, you did that on purpose.

— The End —
