When I was younger I asked my brother to tell me why people didn't just sit around and imagine if they could get everything they wanted in their mind. He laughed softly and slowly said that there's a whole world out there that we can't even imagine in our head.

And I went through life like others, doing normal things. Until I found the other world that completely changed me. I found continents in a smile. I navigated seas in a glance. I discovered life in a touch and love in a laugh. The other world is holding hands in secret. The other world is calling late at night. The other world is you and I never want to go back.

Just fifteen
    Just trying to do the right thing.

I told you the truth
   And you stole my youth.

                                  -i was a *child

Everytime she laughs
She hopes he sees

This time it will end differently.

No more boys falling for her tears
He'll fall for her happiness

They will be together for years.

The way he looked at me...
        I knew he wanted me
        It was the same way the others looked at me
        And I liked it

I crave it, devour it, savor it...
        It's forbidden
        It's wrong
        It hurts

Self-harm doesn't have to be physical
I stopped cutting long ago

But every time I let another one…
        Crave me
        Devour me
        Savor me

… Look at me like that

It's a cut right through my soul

Your chair by the window is empty. It mocks me as I walk by.

I hold out my hand and you kiss it
You hold out your arm and I take it
I feel your heart beat and mine races

Synchronized, bonded, infinite
For just a moment we are one and
Then the moments done

And you are gone
