I'm so tired of hearing
"You look so hot!" "You look ****." "****, you look gorgeous."

Then they look at you eagerly for a response, and I smile back woodenly but inside it means nothing.
Just words that pass my one ear and fall out the other.
No substance.
Is that how men think they can "get" a girl these days?
You want to know the key to my heart?
Tell me that I make you happy. That I make you laugh. That my smile can't help make you smile. That what I said the other day made you think. That you love my wild side. That you think of me before your eyes close as you're about to fall asleep. That the thought of me makes your stomach feel light.

That's all I want to hear.
And it's all I'll never hear.

The most addictive drug known to man.

The key of being happy is letting go.
Anything that no longer adds to your soul, or makes you grow as a human being.

*Let it go.

How foolish of me
To think that you've changed.
How foolish of me
To even let you in.*

My girl
You can't go back to what broke you.
You deserve so more much than that.

Don't you love yourself?
If you really loved yourself, you wouldn't do this.
Protect your heart from what hurt you.

You are golden, soaring among the stars, with galaxies in your mind and so much warmth in your heart
And you deserve someone
Who appreciates that
Who listens to the words you speak
Who reads the poems you write
Who adores you
For all and everything you are.
