bubblegum heart
easy to pop
and if you
break it
you'll be stuck
in a sticky situation
a strange love
equation

you never drove me to the edge
but you did push me
to the point
of collapse

you always knew what to say
but never knew what to do
you always knew how
to make my entire day
but never knew how
to make do
with me and you

my poetry isn't as great
or as articulate
as the others
on this site
but i write
from the heart
and if you relate
i'm thrilled with that
grateful, in fact
that i can touch
a stranger's heart
just from posting
what i feel inside

wrote your name
all over my heart
tried to wash it away
but the ink left it's mark
like a tattoo i made
and it had no cost

i'll always like you, baby
but you'll dislike me
cuz i'm a disgrace
and you're
heaven on earth
i'll always think of you
and the things we do
or once did
and pretend
it's us against
the world

dressed in all black
to show some class
keep my front
covered up
but still
show off
my **** ***

high heels on
and some
red lipstick
hoping to
catch your attention

blue eyeshadow
white nail polish
hoping i'd look good
with all of this on me

sweet perfume
with a heavy
price tag
hoping to
smell like
roses
and
vanilla
