Why can't I just be pretty?
I just want to turn heads.
I want to feel beautiful,
but I'm hanging on by threads.

I want people to look and think
"I've never seen one like that".
I just want to feel secure,
but that's falling flat.
Ugh. Why do all you girls have to be so pretty. You're all gorgeous and I'm just here looking like a potato

Rain falls silently onto my cheeks,
As it washes away the pain.
Diamonds caught in my eyelashes
Remind me only brighter days remain.
Actual rain or tears?

I only realize how cold my heart is
when I feel the warmth of you against me.
Only then does the layer of ice around it
begin to melt.
Sometimes the only time I feel a thing is when he has his arms around me.

You had something good,
But you lost me.
While you wallow in your misery,
I'll be doing what I should.

*which is anything but think of you
Haha. ***** for you

Dark hair and light eyes.
I hope you choke on your lies,
Causing your demise.
Beautiful liars are the most dangerous kind
