One thing I do miss about you is:
your hands.

The way they would poke
and grasp me.

The way they
felt against my skin.

So gentle,
yet rough.

I hate the way
my voice sounds,
because sometimes
it comes off loud and
sometimes I give an attitude
when I honestly do not mean to.

But no one believes me.

I was raised in loudness.
Constant yelling, screaming , shouting , and rudeness.

I am coated with hatred.

Nothing calm, sweet and nice to be found, not even in the corners of my home.

I'm sorry.
I'm truly kind and caring,
only somewhat broken,
I promise.
They say that the past is in the past, what they say is true but it never exactly fades for you. You don't do what you want when the voice of the person who brought you down lingers in your brain, as you still hear the angry footsteps stomping up the stairs even when you know they're no longer there. That rechid angry face still lingers your mind, you expect a harsh word or strike from anyone so kind, you learn to rely on yourself, you know that no one will show compassion, believe you or lift a finger to help. You close yourself off from the world feeling rejected by society, you were told that you were worthless
It hurts just as worse when they cut your skin while shirtless. Try and make your life at ease, grow older, step out of your comfort zone because you're the one to please.

Being lonely isn't so bad.
I used to despise it, but
now I crave it.

A kiss you say?
Well it means
nothing to me.
I feel nothing,
but numbness.
I won't recall
it the next day.
You kissed me
you say?
Sorry, I
must have
forgot..

I sat in my classes
not paying attention.
Why you ask?
Because I was so
consumed in my
thoughts of you,
that I started to
write you a letter
in which you would
never receive,
But I would
indeed receive the
closure that I deserve
except without an
encounter.

You love me
even when I'm
not worth loving.
You love me
knowing all that
I've done.
You love me
even though I
am a daisy and
not a rose.
You love me
when I'm not as
bright as the sun,
but as dark as
thunder clouds.
You love me
for me and I've
never been so
blessed.
A girl has a lot of *** she’s a ****
A guy has a lot of *** he’s a player
Is it wrong for both sexes to have pleasure
Is it wrong for girls to like *** to
Society what’s wrong with you
You’ve twisted pleasure into something only for guys
A thumbs up for guys if they have a lot of ***
Insults and rude looks for the girls if they have a lot of ***
Do you truly think that it is that bad of a thing
If a girl has a lot of *** and stays clean
It shouldn’t be
If a girl has a lot of *** and is *****
Then it should be but not to the level we have raised it to
The pressure we put on girls to not have ***
Makes them hide their thoughts
It makes them feel stressed
They worry that they will be bullied
They shouldn’t have to go through this
All though I’m a guy I know this is wrong
How come most of society thinks it’s right?
I swear it was love at first sight
If I recall right there was a bright light
All around her there was a glistening shine
I wanted to shout out She’s mine!
Because I’ve had people stolen from me before.
It leaves me laying broken on the floor
It’s a strange kind of hurt
I feel the rage inside of me
At the same time I feel glad that their both happy
In the end though I know I want them back
I don’t think I could take it again
I just want the pain to end
Stop the demons from hurting me
I need her
This time I’m standing my ground
I won’t let anyone take her from me
So stay with me
Please don’t betray me
Please don’t leave me broken again
Don’t **** my soul
I beg you to stay with me
To spend your time with me
