You said that my demons wouldn’t scare you,
So I showed them to you.
You said that you could handle my pain,
So I gave it to you.
You said that you could fix me,
So I let you hold all of my breaks and bruises and cracks.
You said you weren’t afraid,
but babe, I’ve never seen someone run so fast.

all of the words
you speak
today and tomorrow
are in vain

for you do not wish
to throw rocks at my window,
you know very well
i am already on my doorstep
waiting for you

you love me in songs played
on tuesday afternoons,
gaps in conversation where
three words are meant to fill it
and faded journal entries
dated when time was blind

you’ve written disguised goodbyes
beneath my eyes
and subliminally (explicitly)
whispered (shouted)
to move on, move on, move on
each moment i’ve tried to draw you nearer,
you do your best to push me further away

but even from a distance,
you are still holding on

let me go
let me go
let me go

so i may finally
let go
of
you

a double edged sword held to my throat
your lips on my neck but filled with venom
your voice in my head whispering lies
you kissed me hard and held me close
and you swore it was special
you swore I was special
you have one hand holding my waist
the other holding a knife to my back
half of you is going to break me and damage me
the other half wants to put me back together again
and I'm stuck in the crack of the two
holding my heart in my hands like a wide eyed child
ready to offer it to you
fully knowing that I will regret every second of it

I met a boy
and I felt his words slither under my skin
when he spoke with alcohol on his breath
and lust in his eyes.
The second time we met
he was high and I started to wonder
if I would ever see what was hiding behind the mask
of intoxication and lies
all spun to get me into his bed.
It's been three months and I'm still wondering.

I can't believe how amazing you are. You're the only person who's made me feel this special in a long time [delete]

are you sure you just want to be 'friends', I think I'm in love with you [delete]

can I have a goodbye kiss? I love your kisses, they taste like summer [delete]

I wish you would just say "Hi" to me in the hallways [delete]

that girl you always walk with is beautiful, I can understand why you didn't want me [delete]

when you told me I was beautiful and **** and all you would ever want, was that all a lie too? [delete]

I got a mosquito bite today and it reminded me of when we slept outside and were attacked by them [delete]

it smells like the nights we spent together [delete]

one, two, three...I've lost count of how many drinks are for you [delete]

I wish you thought about me as much as I think of you [delete]

why are your words stuck in my head [delete]

I was naive and young, I'm sorry I actually thought you loved me [delete]

it's been months since the summer nights we spent together. please tell me you miss me. [delete]

my chest hurts. my heart aches. everything about you from the way your lips tasted to how I got chills down my spine from just one touch makes me want to explode [delete]

the blood running down my wrist contains the words you said but never meant [delete]
I hate you girl.
And I will never say
I think about you so much
Its funny how
I fell for you
But at the same time
I hate you
I always said
You were perfect to me
But you weren't
You were ugly
My friends said
You were the best
But they lied,
You weren't worth it.
People said
I still love you, but
I loved you.
