"i love you"
is always used loosely
but in my mind
you know
i mean it

"i'll never leave"
is always used as a sugarcoat for the truth
but in my eyes
you know
it's a promise

i told you i'd never leave you
no matter what life throws at us
and i intend to keep it

i don't care if my friends hate you
because what they think
doesn't matter
as long as i still get to hear the jokes you make
and the smooth pickup line you practice on me with
i would give anything to keep it all
close to me

because you're my best friend
and that's all i can ask for

So pretty
Adorning my skin;
So stark
Against my skin.
There’s no denying what you are
Only denying why you’re there.
I have been able to hide you
But if someone asked, what would I say?
Razor blade accident?
But why would it be:
so deep, so wide, so long?
(To keep me from loosing my mind.)
So pretty
Across my skin.
You call to me-
reminding me of the nights where I found release, where I found relief.
The pain only transferred never truly soothed.
