I went into your room last night.
My intensions truly pure.
But when I opened the door,
Your scent was no longer near.

I crept into your bed again.
But you weren't by my side.
If I hadn't been so drunk,
I wonder would I have cried?

Your bed's no longer soft.
The sheets no longer warm.
No stuffed animal to lay beside.
No arms to shelter me from my storms.

I woke up in the morning.
There's not a trace of you.

The walls are bare.
Your belongings all gone.
This place is lonely.
I played your song.

This is goodbye again.
The thing I hate the most.
Time keeps moving forward...
Leaving me behind...

How do I say farewell to these images that keep lingering in my mind?

I don't want to call you, you.
I want to say your name.

You're not just a you to me.
Even though we can't be together,
I can't complain.

Even though each time we meet,
I think it rips us both apart.
You for being disloyal.
Me for my fragile heart.

Your face...
It's pure beauty.
Your jawline, smile, grace.

Your hair...
It melts through my fingers,
Whenever I'm in your embrace.

Your lips...
They seem to know me.
How they pull me closer in.

With you, being bad never felt so good.
For you, I'd always sin.

Your touch sends sparks right through me.
I wish I could have you any time.

But just like I can't force this poem...
I can't force you to be mine.

7:56 p.m.
I fell asleep to the thought of you.
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
What did I do?
I want to sleep beside you.

12:30 a.m.
I woke up to the thought of you.
Is he sleeping?
Did he cry?
Did he send a message?
These thoughts.. why?

1:00 a.m.
I'm restless with the thought of you.
I just want to sleep.
I don't want to picture your face,
Or the next time we can meet.

1:30 a.m.
I can't sleep to the thought of you.
You are poison in my mind.
Everything's a game for you.
I'm the piece that's left behind.

2 a.m.
I don't know where I'll be..
Can I drift peacefully to sleep?
Or will you haunt my dreams?
In my sleep, will I shed tears?
Thank for this pain...
I'll cherish it all my years.

Have I intoxicated you?
Wrapped my body around yours?
Taken you to places you've always wanted to explore?

Have I charmed you?
This sad little lonely girl..
Who is she? Why do I care?

Have I awoken you?
Do you see your dreams?
Can you hold them firmly?

Have I inspired you?
To be a better person...
To try your best.

I'm a curse and a blessing.
Both at the same time.
You won't realise it as our bodies are intertwined.

When I kiss you, you'll thinj it's just that.
But give it time..
The image of my face will keep coming back.

I will haunt you when you disappear.
When you think life will be normal again.

You'll remember this girl.
Who just wanted to be your friend.

Why did she do this?
Why is she that way?
Why is she crazy?
Why did we play?

Why did I fall for her?
Why did she fall for me?

Your head will search for answers...
But there won't be any...

Yeah... I am poison.
My kiss a deathly weapon.
My time a ticking bomb.

But my heart is the potion.
I've held so much love all along.

There's a million ways to love a soul.
And I'm done holding back, just so you know.

Because I love so many people in this day to day life.
I can't hold it back, just to be someone's wife.

There's the way I love you.
I want to have our home.
I want to go on adventures.
Never leave you alone.
Make silly faces.
Caress your hair.
Make goofy videos.
Cuddle our pets.
Maybe a baby...
Fancy that.

There's the way I love you.
Always messages a few a times a year.
Happy birthday. Merry Christmas.
How are you my dear?
How is the wife? How are the babies?
I found your letter.
Man, we were crazy.

There's the way I love you.
You taught me so much.
A better way to think.
A better way to touch.
How important it is to value myself.
And how to let go.
That's why I love you so.

And there's the way I love you.
The unapologetic ways.
In which you take my hand
But make everyone the same.
The way you say,
"I just want to see you"
And even though it's temporary,
You make time seem brand new.

There are too many ways to love a person.
How you can be so sure what is real?
Which one is forever?
Which one would should we feel?

But I wouldn't be me, with out all of this painful action.

I want a world that's not afraid to love.
Not sure why I wrote this one

You never took a bath with me.
You never ran away with me.
You never chose me first.

You weren't there for me when my heart broke.
When a needle tore my most important person away.

You weren't there for me when I was bleeding.
You never noticed my new scars.

You never asked me questions.
What do you love the most these days?

You never took me seriously.
You never put the **** games down.
You never left the house with me before getting high.
You never just held me for no reason.

And now you hate me.
Now you hate me because you never did these things.

You gave up on me at my lowest.
When I was always there for you.

And now. Now. You blame me.

You blame me for trying to be human.

He's selfish.
The most selfish person I've ever met.
He confuses lust for love.
Everyone has jewels for eyes.

He believes he's selfless.
But he can't see...
How he hurts all of the girls.
Including me.

Selfless...He thinks.
Selfish... He is.

He deserves loneliness.
But he thinks he deserves the world.
He deserves to feel the same burn as his words.

So I tell you this.
These truths about his sad, pathetic soul.
Because I'm craving his attention again.
I'm only feeling alone.

I am selfish.
In the worst kind of way.
To let this boy hurt me.
Every. Single. Day.

I confuse loneliness with caring.
Like the way you look into my eyes and smile.
When you hold my hand.
When you take me somewhere "special".

But the truth is this:

You show us all of the same things.
You tell us our eyes are pretty.
You hold us close as if you care.
You make us laugh and blush.
You reward us with gentle touch.

What kind of person are you?
I can't seem to figure it out.
You're as disgusting as they come.
But... There's something... Something...
Cheers.
