melting.

i melted.

was like liquid wax

I was yours and you molded me.

I didn’t resist.

it almost worked.

BUT

I was slipping through your hands.

dripping like hot melted wax.

running through your hands…

it burnt you.
you couldn’t mold it.

i wasn’t following your rules anymore.

you washed your hands and....

finally i was free.

free
free
FREE!

Don't tell me you love me
Then kick me to the door
Don't pretend you're sick
Just to ignore me a little bit more
Don't think your "problem" is normal
Believe me---it's not.
Let's hope you never actually want children
Because you're completely f#*$ed.

Alone
Not a place or time
but rather
a state of mind

Alone
Without the loving touch
of the one.
you desire

Alone
Your friends are gone
now you're stuck here
with the voices
that
won't.
shut.
up.

Alone
numb.
wanting what I can't get.
trying to re-create it.
not sure if it worked.

Alone
Wanting to cry.
Couldn't say why.

Not because of him, her, or "it"
Tears are welling up inside

Alone.
no reason to hide.

Alone
My heart feels different
on a break--
from love.
from loss.
from reality of whats next.

Alone
in space.
in time .
in need of a friendly touch.
to rid my life of this haze...or maybe to wake me up.

I never thought
the first time we met
would define the next four years

With Jell-o nights
no useless fights
and crying each other's tears

You were here for me
during love, lust, and loss
and when I felt down
you reminded me that I'm the boss

We shared countless stories
Many many bottles of wine
who could forget the pudding
oh! and our dance moves are FINE!

But now our time as roommies
has to come to an end
I'm so glad we met that very first weekend
I couldn't have asked for a better best friend.

We'll both be on our journeys
with plenty to do
but remember all the times we've had these past four years
Because my time here would be wasted if it weren't for you!

to be quoted somewhere other than facebook...

for once, to be "that girl"...

to travel...

to have uninhibited, amazing ***...

to find faith like a child...

my parents to be on the same page...

to make the best decisions i can...

to love someone like my life depends on it. without regrets. without frustration. without bitterness.

You live and you learn
and sometimes might love
you'll never know why
but you can't get enough

Your friends just may not see
what you know to be true
but you're sure that you love him
What do you do?

Everything's happy
everything's right
there's nowhere you'd rather be
than with him tonight

but relationships get stranded
by the stresses of life
and suddenly in your heart
something just isn't right

You search for the answer
you want it to be true
he's such a nice guy
he could never stop loving you!

But the phone calls don't come
and you start to wonder
"does he really still want me?"
You don't want to find another

You see the bright side
but you have a feeling tonight
and in your depths of your soul
something doesn't seem right

You greet him with joy
but the favor is not returned
as you enter his place
you've realized quickly that you've just been burned

you cry, plead and beg
you're not ready to let go
but sometimes with heartbreak
you just don't run the show

you cry about how you'll miss him
and his perfect  warm touch
somehow ice cream in a friends' car
never hurt so much

You can play all of the games
of "what-ifs" and "who cares"
but when it's all said and done
he just couldn't be there.

Your heart may be broken
and your ego bruised
but sometimes in life
you just feel used

So, go ahead and cry
but don't waste too many tears
because remember my friend,
you're still young in years

You couldn't forget him
even if you try
but the memories will fade
and soon you won't care why

Now you're on a new page
you're starting a new chapter
and you know that had you stayed together
there wouldn't be a "happily ever after"

Forgiveness is key
to re-writing your story
when you finally let go
you'll be in your glory

So keep on writing your story--
you've only just began
be open to love
someone exciting and new is waiting to hold your hand.

— The End —
