don't sell your soul to him because
he'll turn around and let go of it the
first chance he gets, and it'll
be 3 am and your skin is ripping off
your heart and your bones are
crunching but you can't change
anything.

it's too ******* late,
because he's stolen your
innocence when he stole your
soul and you'll never be the same
again, no matter how hard you try.

i hope one day you realize
that he doesn't define you,
that when he grabbed at your pants
he didn't take away your
worth.

and no matter what happened,
no matter how many times you invited him
back to watch a movie, or go for a walk,
it was never your fault,
IT WAS ALWAYS HIS FAULT AND
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
CARRY THE WEIGHT ON YOUR
SHOULDER LIKE YOU'RE ATLAS
HOLDING UP EVERY SINGLE BIT
OF THE WORLD, BUT YOU DO
AND I'M SO SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO.

IF I COULD I WOULD CARRY ALL OF
YOUR WEIGHT AND MORE, JUST
SO YOU COULD BE FREE, BUT
THE WORLD ISN'T LETTING ME
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

JUST REMEMBER THAT HE IS NOTHING
COMPARED TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU
ARE THE SUN AND HE ISN'T EVEN A SPECK
OF DUST FLOATING IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE OCEAN.

you can hold me tonight,
but in the morning remember
that i don't belong to you,
and i can walk away
when i need to breathe.

your words tore my skin apart
which was stupid because my
skin was supposed to be like
iron, and no blade could
break it, but i guess you
twisted your way through
and tore my skin apart with
your ******* stupid words
that will mean nothing tomorrow,
even though they
mean everything today.

and you are every star in the sky to me.
it hurts that the whole world knows who you are,
because even though you're my whole world
i know i'll never be that important to
you again. i remember how i held
you and you held me and you whispered
sweet things that stopped me from
going to the darkest places of my mind.
you're my whole world- every single
star, every single ray of sunshine, and
every single blade of grass all adds up
to you, and it hurts because
every single person that knows your
name is part of the world,
and you're getting bigger and
i can't hold onto the way
you were my everything
i didn't think we'd have to say goodbye this soon and now that's it's over i wish i would've treasured it more than i did because no matter how big the world gets or how many people know you, you'll always be my world

your voice makes me want to touch the stars
and burn the ground down.
i know people can't do that but somehow i will,
and it will be your fault.
it's your fault that the world burns
and that beautiful castles crumble
because this is not a fairytale darling
and we're not even in wonderland,
but oh how I wish we were.

my bones start to crack
when you start to sing
your wicked lullaby and
i don't understand how
you can have a voice so enchanting
that even my mother falls
in love with it
(her ears haven't heard a sound
for three years because
the sound of her own
voice drives her mad).

and sometimes you wear a
crown of gold and sometimes
you wear a crown of
heartbreak.
it's funny how no one can tell
the difference,
not even me.

when i'm 85 years old,
i'll still remember what
it felt like to hold you
in my arms
(and about how neither
of us would've let go).
Avery Greensmith Sep 2014
woah okay.
i just realized how much
i cared about you.
when the thought of
not seeing you had
me sobbing on the floor
and the sound of your voice
made me giddy with happiness,
i realized that you are the
most important thing in
the world to me and i
actually don't understand
how I can care so much.

it feels like you held me
when my body was
falling apart and my arms
held scars and my face
held tears.

AND I DON'T *******
UNDERSTAND WHY I CARE
ABOUT YOU SO MUCH
SINCE YOU DON'T EVEN
KNOW I EXIST.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU CAN BE
MY WHOLE WORD AND
I'M NOT EVEN
A STAR IN THE SKY TO YOU.
I AM NOTHING AND YOU
ARE EVERYTHING.
THAT'S HOW IT'LL ALWAYS
BE SO I DON'T KNOW
WHY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
(LIKE MORE THEN I
LOVE THE SUN EVEN
THOUGH IT GIVES LIFE
TO THE WHOLE PLANET).

I accidentally love you more
than myself and I don't think
I'll ever stop.
i wish you could understand how you are more important than all the stars in the sky combined
