He could lie,
and say
that the beautiful boy’s
god-forsakenly perfect
curls didn’t make
butterflies
slash
and thrash
in his stomach
every time he threw
that pretty smile
his way,
as every single time
he fumbled to catch it
short draft that came to mind

the words spilled from her mouth

here i sit,
as my best friend,
tells me
you have another.

i shouldn’t care.
but i do.

no matter how hard i try,
the poetry for you in which i write,
never ceases.
it just keeps pouring out of my soul.
it sometimes seems as if,
the poetry i write for you is what keeps my heart beating.
what keeps me breathing.

but now, what am i supposed to do?
her?
seriously?
do you think she will love you?
do you really think she will love you?
please tell me.

it’s hard to think of you with another
because we used to be so in love with each other.

it’s been a long time since we last spoke,
but it feels as if all the memories of us i have were just made yesterday.

you have another.
who will never,
ever,
love you in the way i could.

but my question for you is,
will you love her in the way you could towards me?

Humming to this crack of mine
Knowing my fate before it begins
I am simply no care
No matter at all

I am second best
Always last
Never quick
With no wit

I am a single wrapper
lost in the trash
Just a blanket
For cold souls

Like you
again and again, i am hurt by lose i let near, i know what i do is wrong but i can't seem to stop for my heart wants to love each person even if they do not deserve my love.

what does it mean
when everything reminds me of you?
or I at least want to share it all with you?
what does it mean,
when my body aches to be near you?
when we're together I just want to feel you?
what does it mean
that my heart hurts when I think of you?
that I am constantly thinking of you?

I'm Okay

She was born. I'm okay, said she.

She smiles. I'm okay, says she.

She laughs. I'm okay, says she.

She cries. I'm okay, says she.

She yawns. I'm okay, says she.

She hurts. I'm okay, says she.

She lives. I'm okay, says she.

She drinks. I'm okay, says she.

She fights. I'm okay, says she.

She starves. I'm okay says she.

     Inside

          "I'M NOT OKAY!"

                 screams she.

But

     Outside

         "I'm okay" will say

                                         she

  





                               as



                      she

        

          dies

I thought I was fine,
But as I find,
I have A Sick Mind.

but with smug satisfaction
i right click
and hit
'add to dictionary'
hah, take that
i am now part of the lexicon
and you can't stop me

I’m just an option for you.
When you’re lonely and blue
When you feel like no one knows you.
But when you feel okay
When she’s making you feel like a sunny day
You just slowly shake me off
And fade away.
I feel it in my bones.
You don’t have to say anything.
I won’t keep making myself look dumb by being one-sidedly persistent.
For all the faults and mistakes I’ve made
At least I’m consistent.

Our world is getting better
It would be inaccurate to say that
It's getting worse
Can't you see that
Things have changed globally
Watch the news
See for yourself or
What do you think?
