its funny how a comment on a picture
can make you feel insignificant
how a significant other can look at someone else
the way they looked at you
and waves of jealousy strike
waves of inadequacy

Fair skin, dark eyes
Straight hair, crooked smile
Honest  face, wicked lies.

Sweet kisses move me like a lullaby
Midnight rushes over our eyes
And sits upon our brows
Tight arms surround
Gentle swaying in the moonlight
To the rhythm of romance
Let us dance in our dreams

"Diamonds are a girls best friend"
They tell me with smiles so bright they shine
But their eyes are cold and so are the jewels they hold.

Some boys on Abbey Road wrote about a lonely girl.
With diamonds and a sky of marmalade
But no one to hold.

And I have to think that if I had the choice
I'd rather stay on the ground
To have your hand to hold.

For diamonds are too cold
To sacrifice for love.

Stop. Evaluating. My. Thoughts.
They are not yours
They never were
They are mine.

Stop. Pretending. I'm. Yours.
I am not
I never was
I am my own.

Stop. Inviting. Me. To. Your. Hell.
I have declined
I will not ever accept
Mine is better.

Burn with the paper you write your notes on.
And leave me alone.
