thousands of minutes I've wasted on thoughts that lead to nowhere positive
only now am I realizing the utter waste
my dreams live on in a better place now
tangled in faerie wings and spider webs
glistening in my mind
I am stronger

I melt like putty in your hands
maleable for your words
a sucker for your eyes
and still I know that it's all for lies
you don't really love me
you love the sneaking and the deceit
you love pulling me in just to push me away
I know because I did it to you first
and now I know how much it hurts

For 1,467 days I've thought of nothing else but the crooked smile that you own,
The way you hide it when you realize someone might see you too happy.
I've thought of the fast pace of your stride even when you have no end destination
and how your eyebrows arch in such a defined way.
I remember the mole you have on the back of your shoulder,
hidden from view of everyone you do not undress in front of.
I remember the intensity of our passion,
and I find a great deal of sorrow and irony while I think back on how many of those days you spent thinking of other girls.

your ******* scent mixed with traces of your cigarettes
reminds me of a place called home

as I pull your sweater over my head like I would familiar sheets over my body
shivers that once ran down my spine cautiously fade away as I sense comfort in my surroundings

and when I look in your magical eyes I feel homesick for a place I haven't been
a place that I'm only just now exploring

my eager finger tips glide over your skin and I am hungry for more of you
my paradise
I feel you in my bones
I breathe you in

I remember every mark on your skin like it was my own
if home is where the heart is
then I have found mine in your arms

every single human on this earth has had their heart torn apart
whether it be the ache of mommy leaving you on the first day of school
the boy you thought loved you when really he loved what it felt like inside of you
the cancer that took your grandma last summer
or the regret of watching a series of your friends take a path leading to less than nowhere
every human is burdened with sadness
be kind

aching to run away from the crumbling mess I call home
I stumble into my thoughts and concerns
I writhe in pain and regret at moments lost while on this journey of emotions
get me out of here
get me out of here
too cautious of the feelings of those around me
I'd rather rip my flesh apart and **** the marrow from my broken bones
than sit another minute in this decrepit excuse for my abode
I will not wait

you tore me to pieces while expectant that I would glue together your broken parts
what an injustice to a girl who sought out your paradise
a delicate mess of emotions
tangled sins and heartbreak
jealous rage twisted with motives for payback

beginnings are always the best part
