do you think of me
when you hear my song?
does my name echo
throughout your mind?

d.l.b.

i feel as though
my heart is made of bark,
and every boy who comes my way
carefully carves his name into the tree.
and every boy i've ever loved,
has left their mark.
turning me into a canvas,
waiting for whoever comes next.

d.l.b.

you are always on my mind.
i cannot get you to leave.
it would be a benefit to us both.

d.l.b.

when i'm wrapped up in thoughts,
and my hands are shaking,
it's nice to be reminded that you're here.
and you will never leave.

d.l.b.

my feelings are so confusing
and i'm so tired.
i want to sleep
and sleep
and sleep

d.l.b.

"you are a sweet, beautiful, and kind girl and i promise things will get better"*

it's been 4 months and 16 days,
and i still think about you.
i spend my nights wondering what i could've done differently.
my pillow is soaked in useless tears,
and my hands shake when i hear your name.

d.l.b.

i don't like feeling sick.
go away please.

d.l.b.
