Her arms were train tracks
Her eyes were rain clouds
Her thoughts were a horror film
Her body was an hour glass and the time was running out
How did no one realize she was a ticking time bomb ready to explode
Maybe because
She always had a smile on her face
Or maybe
Because she always hid everything so well
And she had secrets she would never tell
Her mouth was sewn shut
And maybe that was a good thing
For when she talked she seemed to make things worse
Or as she thought
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
Nothing was like how it was supposed to be
It was all wrong but it was true
She was a beautiful disaster
And no one knew

No such thing
Love is to powerful to be happening in a second
Love doesn't happen in the blink of an eye
They were lying
The people who told you
It was love at first sight

Promises are never promising
Truths always seem to turn to lies
Funerals are for the living
And in the morning when I woke, it was really night

Drink me
Like your alcohol
Love me
Like you love your alcohol

I will drown myself in an ocean full of beer
Because I know you will drink every last drop

I will shrink myself down
Small enough to just barely slide inside your favorite bottle of beer
Because I know
you will always pick me
You always pick out your favorite one
And then
will you love me?

Would you love me if my name was alcohol?
You could call me al for short
Because I know remembering stuff is hard for you

Can I be your favorite kind
so you'll love me

I will do anything just so that I can feel you hold me again
And not grip me so hard that I have bruises on my arms
And throw me down to the floor
where my thighs seem to be the natural color of black and blue

I don't care
if I have to smell your breath that screams the word "wasted", in my ear

I just want you to love me

Broken bottles hit the floor
Shards of glass everywhere I step

But I can't seem to feel the pain anymore
For you have already caused so much...

You only text me when you want me
At first it was cute because I felt wanted
Like someone cared about me
But you don't care
You don't care at all
You could care less about me
You just wanted me for your own needs
And I was blinded from that

I haven't thought of you in awhile,
But I saw you today,
My eyes met yours,
My heart stopped,
And I didn't know what to say,
All of the feelings came back,
A rush to my brain,
I couldn't move because I was hooked on you,
I didn't want this to be round four,
So I finally ran for my door,
Breathing heavy,
I couldn't wait till I saw your face again...

I hate that sound
It makes me cringe
Wild goose bumps come popping out of my skin
The hair on my arm sticks up
I turn away
But the sound of your chatterbox against his makes me wanna disappear
I'm not here
I don't wanna be
It's almost like you're cheating
But i know you're not
You were in love with another man
Only that's what I thought
Who knew what was going on in your head
How long have you been lying to yourself
And to others
I was foolish to think I believed the magic I was seeing
Ten years it went on
Then suddenly stopped
My world crumbling into pieces
It took forever to put it back together
Some pieces are lost and can't be found
But the damage you did could never be fixed
And that moment could never be forgotten
Now five years later
You went through guys like money flying out of your hands
But this one went on for a little longer
And the longer it went on
The pain I was dealing with kept coming on
It doesn't seem right
Even after  all these years
I miss the one man that stood by you through everything
But you let him go
You were stupid enough to let him go
Now it's every other weekend
Instead of everyday
Why in the world did you make it that way
So now there's only one thing I have to say
I hate those sounds that make me cringe
Divorce poem about my parents and my moms boyfriends that all had problems
Also btw just a shout out to Miley Cyrus from her song can't be tamed, I used one of her lines "I go through guys like money flying out my hands" so before you guys comment anything about plagiarizing just letting you know I didn't and I'm giving her creds
