Day 3.

i lost you
to drugs
and alcohol.
you told me
you stopped.
you told me
you loved me more
then the rush
it gave you.
you lied.
you went
behind my back
and you smoked
and you drank.
you tried hiding it.
did you think
i was too naive
to notice
the smell of beer
on your breath
or the way your words
sloppily stirred together.
i told you
you had to choose.
you have to choose
between me
and that.
you didn't choose me.
i guess i just
don't give you
that feeling.
but it's ok.
i wouldn't choose
me either.

choker necklace.

the words slipped
out of his mouth
like a smooth ribbon
of silk
and i wanted
to tie them around
my neck
like a choker necklace
and wear them
for all to see.
i wanted
people to know
how he felt
about me
because i felt
beautiful
with his
choker necklace words
and i wanted
everybody
to see my beauty.
i wanted them
to touch my necklace
and ask where
i got it
and long to have one
just like it
but that necklace
is mine
and i will do everything
i can
to keep it for
myself.

Pages in your diary

Will I become the pages in your diary?
A breath taker created in the form of words,
a title to tell a story of a prince fighting his way to you, an idea of creativity and distraction
Will you rip me from your diary if I only brought to you sorrow
a flow of words that others won't comprehend other than yourself.
How many endings will you make of me until everything falls into place?
Will I become your final sonnet ?
Continue giving breath to your diary filled with words

Day 2.

i am just a girl.
a girl who
is not perfect.
a girl who
trips
and falls
and makes mistake
after mistake.
a girl who
pushes herself
too hard
and hates herself
when she fails.
she does not see
the good,
rather the bad.
she tries
to please everybody
but she can't
please herself.
a girl who
has such strong
insecurities
and can't find good
in herself
but she can find good
in others.
i am just a girl.
a girl who
wishes
upon stars that
one day
things will be better for her.
a girl who
is slowly
losing hope.

Day 1.

i crave to be craved.
i long to be kissed
and hugged
and loved.
i miss the feeling
of being a part
of a relationship.
i miss being
one half
of a greater whole.
i want to feel
somebody's arms
around my waist.
i want to feel
his lips against mine.
i want to feel
his eyes tracing
every inch
of my body.
i want
to be loved.

this is a breakup.

wilted roses.
ripped polaroids.
crying eyes.
broken hearts.
one night stands.
slammed doors.
angry words.
ugly bruises.
paragraph texts.
empty voicemails.
lonely nights.
