I buy her cheap
can't buy expensive.

It's a gift she says
to give my spirit a lift
you buy low
it gets high on my love

don't ever think
price has a place in happiness
.

She wears the imitation
and the mirror explodes
into thousand stars
with the gift of joy
now not only hers
but inexplicably
spread all over me.

not going to lie,
i'm a bit disappointed

i know you like to think you've got me all figured out
but that's so far from the truth
and i'd like to remind you
that all your assumptions are baseless and false

we were in this together
but it seems to me
that we've fallen apart.
//what happened?\\

she walks in with the world on her shoulders
commanding attention
never seeking it
some stare
others glare

her smile lights up the room
even though it isn't genuine
her eyes are kind and thoughtful
but her actions are spontaneous and
her words are silk

she is addicting
one whiff of her and you'll want more

you are starving
and she's the tasting menu

she's who I want to be
//she's someone I don't think I ever could be\\

I've woven so many words
into these sheets in hopes
that someday it will be enough
to keep me from falling apart.

i feel so alive
so caught up in the moment
i forget how to try
it's all just genuine
it's all amazing
for now

before i go back home
before i leave
before i realize i have nowhere
i can truly call my own
i'm so caught up in the drugs i forget
i'm just alone in the world
it's all about now
its all about escaping all the things that i've been through

i forget how to live
without the vicodin
mixed with ***** and ***
i forget how to live without supplementary help
//i think i need actual help\\

don't mind me
i'm just a ghost of past memories
in the back of your mind
the could have beens
would have beens
never were

thats who i am
thats all i am.
which means,
that's who you are
it's all you are too.
//but thats not who i want to be\\
