I'm not sure what to do.
I just keep falling deeper,
and deeper.
Sometimes it's so dark I can't see
my hands in front of me.
I feel like someone is sitting on my chest.
I'm suffocating on nothing
and it's terrifying.
Trying to feel a little,
breathe a little,
live a little.
But are you really living,
if you're expecting death?
If you jump off a cliff
into water,
do you feel the adrenaline
if you're not afraid of
what could happen?
I think this is what dying is.
Not worrying,
or caring.
If you don't give a ****
about anything,
what's your purpose anymore?

Speak softly and make my ear tremble.
I'm so sorry if I cannot hear.
For once I am so lost
and so afraid.
Breathe heavily next to me so that
my stiff body melts into the sheets.
My apologies if I do not feel.
I'm taken away, for only a moment.
For only a second.
For only a minute.
I'm taken away from this world,
and put in a small room.
A small room in a big castle,
and the large stones are made of only scenes,
and snippets.
And fragments.
Of the darkest corner,
of my young psyche.
So if for just a moment,
your finger tips are on my waist,
making my entire body shatter.
I want you to remember that I apologize,
for being lost for a moment,
to explore the mind
I once knew.

Take me away.
I want to feel the wind grabbing,
pulling at my hair
through the open air
on a starry night.

Help me escape.
Let's go to a new town,
change our hair,
answer to Lucy and Iris,
the girls with no past.

Live the way we're supposed to.
In that ****** apartment,
with the one bedroom.
We'll use candles for lights,
and have just the essentials.

Let's make bad choices.
We can fall in love with the rugged,
damaged.
Because if we get in too deep,
we'll just leave again.

We'll just escape.
We can decide on a new town,
change our hair,
and answer to Willa and Alice,
the girls with no past.

Just as it seems she's finished
washing her filthy hands,
she touches a subject
that should never be caressed
by such ignorant fingers.
And as her cheeks blossom
to a flustered red,
she retreats
to go wash her hands again.

I want to feel you, one last time.
Can we go back,
to that Thursday in Autumn?
The leaves perfectly crunched under our heavy feet.
Dazed, confused,
out of touch with reality.
And yet we were so in tune with each other.
With heavy eyelids our pouted lips lightly touched,
feverishly smashed,
and reluctantly broke apart.
I remember the cool breeze nipping at my cheeks,
only to be warmed,
with your soft kisses.

Can we go back, to the weekend in July?
Outside, always outside.
Lungs burning, eyes stinging,
hearts fluttering.
The secret whispers of getting away,
the impossible scenarios,
"But nothing is ever impossible."
Jumping off the bridge,
into the cool water, your hands through my hair.
When were we not touching?
Hands, lips, bodies.
We fit together so perfectly.

I want to go  back,
please, God. Let me go back.
I'm slowly forgetting your soft, warm hands,
Keeping me protected,
being my safe haven.
I don't have that comfort anymore.
Remember our lazy days,
laying on the floor, tangled up in each other?
Sloppiness, romance, fun,
where are you?
"She refuses to believe he's gone."
Rough movements, hands rubbing my sore legs,
the tears wiped away by your thumb.
God, where are you?

She wants to be shoved up against a wall
then coddled when she says her back hurts.
Slitting her wrists in a lavender bath,
she wants you to bandage her up.
"I want you to hurt me," she'll cry.
And you'll be confused when she plays victim.
When you look into her doe eyes, don't be fooled.
She's a monster.

I want you to take another hit, another sip,
forget me.

I want you to smoke one more cigarette,
without me.

I want you to lie awake at night, thinking,
of not my face.

I want you to picture someone new,
in my place.

I want you to loathe,
any idea of what was.

I want you to know,
that this is what a broken girl does.

Indulge in your sinful habits,
foggy memories, forgotten nights, take my place.

When you look at me, feel hate.
Or feel nothing, I'm nothing but a basketcase.

For I am lost, in the world of moving too fast, to just moving on.
Stroking your innocence, ignorance.

I want you to take another hit, another sip,
be tempted to forget me, and all my sweet belligerence.
