Days were dark
Eyes were dark
Light was dim
but light was there

I lack a part
Been torn a part
but you were there
to fix me

Your teeth were gaped
when you laughed
But it was that laugh
that put me back

You where there
when I was scared
Took my mind
and hit reset

My eyes where wet
Your mind was set
You took me in
I'm not fine yet

But slowly I forget
What I couldn't get
and the past was still there
Faded, in the air

Faded like the memory
of what I use to be
And that's when I knew,
you where part of me.

you fall off the swing at the ripe age of 5 only to open your eyes
and notice your voice is cracking and your under arms getting hairy
you fast forward and you’re getting naked for a boy who hasn't thought anything about your brains
but knows exactly what it takes to see your *****
because in the back of your neglected mind
you can still remember what it felt like
when 7th grade tommy noticed your love handles before you could
and now any ounce of attention rushing through your blood stream
feels like a drug, and you were so addicted to words
because sadly your dull scissors couldn't cut off what you see in the mirror
but your rusty 1st grade pencil sharpener will do the job on your wrists
and soon the scars turn into pieces of clothing on the ground for any grasp of the word beautiful

you might not ever love me
like you loved her
when the sheets were on the ground
or on the bed
and you might not love me
as much
with bruises on my skin
from your bite
because my skin will not ever
taste quite as sweet
but you will love me
with different mattress springs in your back
maybe not quite as big
but when her hips are washed away
by time of us together
you may not love me like you loved her
but you will love me
with my earth filled scent
at night, not quite as much
you will love me
but you will love me different
