IT'S SO WRONG
IT'S SO SO SO SO WRONG
I'M ADDICTED TO YOU
AND THAT'S SO CLICHE BUT I DON'T
KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT ANY OTHER WAY THAT YOU WOULD
UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME AT ALL.
WHEN I'M NEAR YOU I GET THIS SICK HAPPY FEELING AND IT ONLY GOES
AWAY MONTHS AFTER LEAVING YOU.
WHEN I'M NOT NEAR YOU I FEEL LIKE I'M ONLY COUNTING
DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN AND
THAT'S NOT OKAY BECAUSE
I WANT TO LIVE MY OWN LIFE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR YOU TO BECOME PART OF MY LIFE AGAIN.
PLEASE GO AWAY BECAUSE I'M ADDICTED TO YOU
AND I DON'T WANT TO GO TO REHAB BECAUSE I CAN'T
STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR STUPID LAUGH AND YOUR
STUPID EYES AND YOUR STUPID HAIRCUT THAT LOOKS
GORGEOUS ON YOU.
SO I'M ADDICTED TO YOU AND THAT'S IT
BUT PLEASE STOP BEING SO ADDICTING, STOP
EXPOSING ME TO THE SECONDHAND SMOKE OF YOUR
MIND BECAUSE I ALREADY CAN'T GET ENOUGH.

the addiction is slowly killing me and pretty soon i'll be a mess, only caring about you and the stupid way i love you.

you're a superhero and you don't even own a cape

it's weird that you and I
are the ones that don't question
how you can be a superhero
if you don't wear a cape.
you understand how you have
power to breathe air into me
and you have the power to take
my breath away.
you probably mean more to be
than the sun
and that's probably so
wrong but then again
loving you was always wrong,
wasn't it?
just because you don't wear
a cape doesn't mean you're not
a superhero and just because
loving you is wrong doesn't
mean i'll stop doing it.

you've saved more lives than any superhero wearing a cape anyway, and i find that beautiful.

it's kind of funny
that i fell in love with the idea of you
BUT SOMETIMES IDEAS
ARE SO FAR AWAY FROM THE TRUTH.
I EVEN HATE THE IDEA OF YOU NOW
AND IT'S KIND OF HARD TO HATE THAT.
YOU MADE ME HATE THE AIR AROUND ME
YOU MADE ME HATE MYSELF JUST
AS MUCH AS I HATE YOU.
YOU MADE ME LIKE THIS BECAUSE
YOU COULD AND NOW WHEN
YOU'VE TURNED ME INTO A MONSTER
INTO A CREATURE GASPING FOR AIR AND
SPITTING OUT BLOOD AT THE WORLD,
YOU WALK AWAY.
you are prince charming, but
only in fairytales is prince
charming actually charming.

sometimes i hate myself more than i hate you and i don't know how to change that

you,
you are pathetic.
you think the world is a playground
and that i'm your toy.
YOU THINK I'M YOUR TOY
BUT I KNOW I'M NOT.
I AM A PERSON
A GOOD PERSON
A NICE PERSON
A PRETTY PERSON
I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME
THAT I'M 'HOT'
ONLY TO MAKE ME HAPPY
AND BELIEVE YOUR IDIOT LIES
"she kind of looks okay without glasses,
less makeup, and straight hair."
EXCUSE YOU? I LOOK GREAT WITH GLASSES,
MAKEUP AND CURLY HAIR.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I AM
BETTER THAN YOU
AND I AM NOT YOUR TOY.
I WILL NEVER BE YOUR TOY AGAIN
AND I WILL BURN THE PHOTOGRAPHS
OF YOU IN THE SCHOOL YEARBOOK
BECAUSE YOU DON'T DESERVE
TO BE REMEMBERED BY ME.

i deserve better because i am not a toy to be played with when you're bored

a deadly addiction

you are poison,
but i can't get away from you,
so I am slowly dying,
my addiction pulling me
into the ocean
(no it's not the ocean,
it's my grave,
but you don't even
care to know the difference.)
I want to tattoo your skin
with the color of my eyes
(you always insist I
get colored contacts,
because no one likes a girl
who's eyes match the
sky.)
and the logo of my favorite
band.
(the band that
held me while I cried
about you
and the way you hated me
and the way I would ****
to kiss you.)
you are poison and
I am addicted.
I can't stop
you from slowly killing me,
just promise me you won't come
to my funeral.

you're a broken piece of glass,
and i want you to kiss me.
i want my lips to be scarred
with the way you felt against them.
i want them to bleed so they
shine red and the boy across the
hall will look at me,
because red lips will make me pretty.
right?
red lipstick and black and blue eyeliner
(because blood and bruises are
what makes me beautiful.)
