hide me
defend me
hold me
stroke me

I see you
standing there
expecting me
to do something
to impress you

like danceing
on the edge
of the balcony
or in some way
try to seem like I want you

but I could
care less
of what you think of me

of a preety girl
hiding in plane sight
that you would rather
somehow save
and take to bed

but I'm not her
I would rather
fall off the balcony
than be with you

Cut

one little cut
can lead
to bigger ones

but if left
unatended
can get

big enough
to be dangerous,
but small enough

to not be noticed

My Love

i was sobbing,

waiting to die alone
eat alone
dance alone
live alone

until i saw the light,
around you
as you walked towards me
and took my hand

everything changed
i would eat with you
dance with you
live with you

until one day
you broke my heart
and left me
to fend for myself

i was sobbing,

Tired

Why
Are you always
Telling me
That I'm
      Fat
          Cheap
              No good
                       Weak
                               Dumb
When
You barely
Know me
And expect
Me
To love you
Unconditionally
And treat you
With
        Respect
                 Honesty
                           Integrity

Answers

Moving fast
Everything passing by
Then I see them
All the lies fall into place
I’m running now
Trying to warn her
But it’s too late
She's gone
I try to find the answers
Of what happened that night
To capture the guilty
And not get distracted
But then I notice
The real problem
I was searching for
Was right behind me
I tell myself
This isn’t true
Until I’m the one
Who is black and blue
