Not saying I love you
this morning felt like
forgetting to take my
medicine.
All I ever got
out of loving you
was a snog and a
fuckload
of poetry.
Why do I care so much?
Your not staying
Your leaving soon
You don't even like me
But I can't seem to let you go
I've tried to block my feelings
Tried to cry them away
Nothing seems to work
Nothing will ever be enough
Why can't you see that I'm here for you?
Why can't you look at me like you look at her?
It's because I'm worthless...
Isn't it?
Because I'm not worth the while
Not worth the time
Not worth the effort
Well
*******
Forget you
But
The thing is
I won't be able to forget about you...

I prayed for light, He sent me sun
I prayed for moisture, He sent me dew
I prayed for beauty, He sent me flowers
I prayed for love, He sent me you
Sara not so plain and not so tall
Daydreaming in the shopping mall
As blond as a summer day
Speaking of herself in a peculiar way:

"I'm pretty, yes, but I wish to be better;
To be the admiration of a love letter."

But her beauty is the kind that lasts
And makes your heart beat especially fast.
Finland born but London found,
Lovely, sure, but greatness bound.

And the nights grow more tiresome,
as her chest beats a tattered drum.
Her mood too dreary for speckled eyes
that will dim if night blurs into sunrise.

"Sleep why do you run from me,
as my memories grow.
Eyelids, be a blanket,
And melatonin, a pillow."

Victoria Lucas in her head,
as the bell does ring until fed
by the words that sound soft to us
but are actually strong and thus
she is misunderstood-lips are red-
Like Greenwood inspired, kissed dread:
She can save herself before jarred,
Before feathered, before tarred.

And it is my faith that lets me know,
That her happiness will one day grow
Because Sara not so plain and not so tall
Is the strongest of them all
For the lovely Sara Murray.

i feel like  i'm
drowning but
my entire body
is on fire and my
lungs are collapsing
and my flesh is falling
from my bones
i'm all alone here
and i'm waiting for
everything to stop and
for the silence to take over
please don't let me
slip away
