Western Montana rain fell
as songs played that reminded me of you
even songs I've never heard before
made me remember your touch.

Windshield wipers wiped away the water
but my lashes couldn't stop the tears
as southern Idaho came into view
here is where I used to stay with you.

This interstate never seemed so lonely
as the winds picked up and the storm raged
I should pull over and wait out the flood
but I have to keep going to get this town,

to get past you.

In the dark

I consider turning on the lamp
beside my bed
so I can write my words on paper
or read someone else's that are bound.

In the dark

I pull the covers under my chin
and close my eyes
pretending that sleep will greet me
or at least tease the edges of my conscience.

In the dark

creativity seems to come to life
but I push it aside
hoping I'll remember my thought come morn
when I won't have to roll over to turn on the light.

It's not fair
that you get to go on
enjoying the sun
when you took mine
right from my sky

It's not fair
that you get to go on
smile on your face
when you took mine
right from my mouth

It's not fair
that you get to go on
on the receiving end of love
when you took mine
right from my heart

It's not fair
that you can break a girl

break her smile

break her heart

and go on like you did nothing wrong

It was so easy to get to know you.
Almost like the stars lined up and brought our worlds together.
How cliche, but that's how easy it was.

It was so easy to be with you,
like we had been together before.
That summer could have been the start of an eternity with you.
That's how easy it was.

Talking about the past, the present, and the future was so easy we could have been telling the stories to old friends.

It was so easy to be apart because we knew we would both be coming back to each other at the end of the day.
There was never fear or concern if you were late.
It was so easy to trust you.

It was too easy in those two months to fall in love,
but we both knew you would leave.

It was easy when you drove away the first time.
We knew we would see each other again soon.
Keeping in tough was easy with phone calls and letters.

It wasn't easy when you drove away the second time.
I knew you wouldn't call back and that I'd never get a letter in return.

It wasn't easy a year later when I ran into our old friends or when his eyes reminded me of yours.

It was too easy to fall for you under all the stars.
It was too easy to let you in with the warm summer breeze.
It was all too easy to be so heartbroken when it came to an end.

When I saw a car like yours
my head didn't do a double take.
It was steady.

When our song came on the radio
my heart didn't skip a beat.
It was steady.

When someone mentioned your name
my body didn't shiver.
It was steady.

When I returned to the edge
my emotion didn't falter.
It was steady.

As I turned and walked away
your memory didn't knock me over.
It was steady.

I use to love a boy.
He meant the world to me
and I to him.
I use to call a boy mine.
We would walk the streets at night
sharing all our secrets.
I use to kiss a boy.
He was so special to me
and I to him.

One day the boy decided he didn't love me anymore.
One night I cried into his arms as he told me we'd always be friends.
One summer we talked everyday as the sun set.
One night we got closer than we ever had been.

But he still didn't love me again.

I use to hope he'd come back to me.
We'd make ourselves a home
our kids would grow up there.
I use to dream of us growing old.
His hand in mine
as we slipped from this world.
I love a boy.
He means the world to me
but I not to him.

I want to know how you got your scars.

The physical,
the emotional.

I want to know when you cry.

So I can hold you,
so I can help you.

I want to know of your past lovers.

So I can love you better,
so I won't hurt you.

I wonder
is your chair still in the corner
do you still sit there every Saturday
with your pepsi and bag of chips

I wonder
is your life still fairly solitary
do you still walk after the sun sets
with your hands in your pockets

I wonder
is your favorite band still Snow Patrol
do you still turn up the bass for Postal Service
with your fingers tapping on the desk

I wonder
is your life still playing out the same
do you still dream of all you used to
with or without me by your side

I am at the wall again,
nose in the corner,
just a friend.

Please tell me when
I'll be no foreigner,
I am at the wall again.

How long has it been?
Will this ever be over?
Just a friend.

'Keep it up, your chin'
says the mourner.
I'm at the wall again.

When will it begin?
I'm done being a loner,
just a friend.

Stop the sin,
find my heart's owner.
I'm at the wall again,
just a friend.

I keep it in my pocket
in case you lean in for a kiss.

You'll smell it
before you taste it
but you'll never forget it.

Maybe you'll crave it,
maybe you won't like it.

Either way it's on my lips.

Last night
your soul
occupied my dreams.
Last night
I saw
your face in my mind.
Last night
in my head
you told me you never loved me.
Last night
I awoke
in a fit of tears.
Last night
I cried
myself back to sleep

because everything
about last night
was true.

She puts her make up on in the bar bathroom
turning pink lips red
that when opened will stun the crowd

She puts her hair up when she's not onstage
letting the sweat dry
that will pour when she's in front of the lights

She sips her beer leaning against the wall
coating her throat
that will emit the sounds to accompany the beats

She may become someone else when she sings
but she never changes
for out of the spotlight she is the same she's always been

We acted like teenagers
never saying what we meant
hinting with smiles and compliments.
We acted liked fools
when we were near one another
never ceasing to smile or laugh.

We acted like teenagers
staying up late talking
over messenger or text.
We acted like fools
stealing glances across rooms
enjoying each other's company.

We should have acted like adults
expressing our feelings
telling the truth.
We should have acted our age
then you'd be here beside me
not playing house with her.

Lonelier every day
a strange tugging on the heart
this girl can't walk away.

Wishing he would stay
never would they be apart
lonelier every day.

Making your own way
leaving would be smart
this girl can't walk away.

Edges of the heart fray
where did it all start
lonelier every day.

Blue skies fade to grey
seas begin to part
this girl can't walk away.

Waves splash and spray
salt in the wounds smart.
Lonelier every day
this girl can't walk away.

I'm too young to be stuck in this town
the laundry mat
the liquor store
aren't enough to satisfy my yearning soul.
If you would have stuck around
I wouldn't be here.
Even thousands of miles away
your memory makes this isolation suffocating.
Every heartbeat
breath
and tear
solidifies my loneliness.

Suddenly I miss you
I barely know you
but I want to hear you laugh.

Sitting here alone
the sun fading before me
I want you here beside me.

I feel strange
wanting you around
thinking I need you.

Have I been lonely too long?

Suddenly I miss you
I really just met you
you always make me smile.

Listening to the winds
I know I might rush this
if you miss me, too.

Maybe I should forget
try to take this slow
but I suddenly miss you.

Have I been lonely too long?

I can love you again,
my heart is open again.
The one problem is that you’re not around.
You’re not here to love.
You’re too far away to feel.

I look at the stars,
the same stars we watched together.
I count our time apart with dying stars.
As they fall across the dark sky
your face fades a little more in my mind.
Your laugh becomes a distant memory,
a memory, that one day, will be lost.

I dream of us meeting again,
a moment in time that I pray for.
Accidental or purposefully,
I will see you again.

I will love you again.
My heart is open again.
You will be around to love.
You will be close enough to feel.

The love I had with him
I'll never feel again
It was young
It was naive

When I loved him
I was selfish
He was nonchalant
We were jealous

The love I had with him
was meant for 19 year olds

Nothing feels right,
when you're not here.
Every memory of you
runs through my head,
but it's not the same.

trying to remember.

God, do I ever,
miss you.

Moved to tears,
that's how I feel
when I think about our years.

How you helped me fight my fears,
every touch was so real,
moved to tears.

It's been all these years
and with the devil I have made a deal
when I think about ours years.

No help from my peers
could rid me of the pains that real,
moved to tears.

With snickers and sneers,
all my love, my whole heart, you steal
when I think about our years.

Love inside me still rears
it's head, so surreal.
Moved to tears
when I think about our years.

We laid in my bed
as the snow fell all around
but I felt the chill.
You stroked my hair
as I kissed your lips
I felt you pull away.

I still see red
with feet firmly on the ground
you took away the thrill.
A vacant stare
my beating heart skips
if only to end the day.

Trying to clear my head
my ears pounds
trying to find the will.
All I did was care
as you vied for my hips
but you wouldn't stay.

My feeling left for dead
falling making no sound
river of emotions comes to a still.
Love is hard to bare
tears from my cheek drips
how could you leave me this way?

In my party dress
my hair twirled
my eyelashes curled

You leaned in and whispered
"I shouldn't be looking at you like this."

In my party dress
teal colored heels
my mind reels

As those whispered words fade
into nothing but meaningless sounds.

In my party dress
holding back tears
hiding all fears

With your arm around her
after I gave you everything I had.

In my party dress
a lonely girl
in a small world

Those nights spent with you
become useless as you walk away.

He said he liked my shoes
sitting across from me
after he said we haven't talked in a while.

I want to tell him everything
as I laugh at his ridiculous beard
then I tell him it's the middle of summer.

When we make plans for tomorrow
my heart and my lips smile
then he looks sad, he forgot he has to work tomorrow.

Some other time I say
happy I got to share this moment with him
because we haven't talked in a while.

I don't realize how longs he stays
until he says he better be going
I smile and tell him I'll talk to him tomorrow.

He tells me he'll call
after he reminds me he has to go home soon
I know I may never see him again.

I hope we still talk
maybe we'll even visit one another
for now I'll just look at my shoes.

That night you took your smile
     and put it on my heart
Like a brand it burned
     away the hurtful words
     a hole so charred and black

With each new sun the feeling of your hand
     on the small of my back
     clasped around mine
fades a little more until
     the memory no longer
          makes me smile
     the memory only
          makes me cringe

at being so naive

the fact that I would fall for you
never crossed my heart

When we first didn't talk
the fact that it would end like that

She isn't smart
she isn't very pretty
but you wanted her body.
The cut of her shirt
the length of her shorts
made you over look me.
If that's what you're looking for
then I'm glad you passed by
I'm not that kind of girl.

I thought you were smart
and, oh, so handsome
but you acted immature.
How your eyes undressed her
the comments that you made
proved you, to me, undesirable.
I thought we could have something
thought you wanted more than physical
apparently you're not that kind of guy.

or the girl you hold on to.

I'm just the girl who's life
is so easy to walk in and out of
without a glance back.

Now
          when I hear our song
I don’t forget to breathe
I don’t choke on the memories
I don’t drown in the tears

Tonight
          when I wish on shooting stars
I won’t wish for you
I won’t count our days apart
I won’t close my eyes to dream of your kiss

Tomorrow
          when I wake from sleep
I will unwrap my body from the blankets
I will go out into the world alone
I will survive without you





I can’t remember who you are
I can’t remember who I was with you

Why is it that I
always take one thing
and turn it into something
that it is not?

We have so much in common,
so much to share with one another,
but I took this nothing

embarrassed
by all the words I said
that should have remained in my head.

So, here I am,
sorry for ruining one thing
that was actually something,
our friendship.

today i realized the moment i fell in love with you
that night beside the imaginary fire because it was too hot and dry to have one
that night you made me laugh for hours because your stories were so out of this world

today i close my eyes and remember your smile
that day i laughed so hard and you turned to look into my eyes
you chuckled and told me how you love it when i snort when i'm laughing too hard

today i want to tell you how much i miss you
but i know you'll misinterpret it and leave me feeling embarrassed
but i want you to know our friendship meant more than any rejection could ever ruin

and you ate all the yellow ones.

Now you're engaged
and I haven't seen you in years.
I don't know why,

Every time I eat peanut M&M;'s

My fingers were burning
yours were centimeters away.
Your voice filled the silent night
sending chills down my spine.
Your smile lit up the dark wood
making my lips tingle.
Butterflies filled my stomach
our arms brushed so slightly.
The cold air warmed against my face.
Your presence felt right,
it made sense,
you should never leave.
My heart aches when you go
afraid you'll never come back,
afraid all these feelings
won't be returned.

Just take my hand,
kiss my lips,
make everything

perfect.
