etched a blade into my skin
drew the word that you burned in my lips
love
i scratched the surface which you touched until i bled
i could feel you in every fiber of my being
i felt you when i touched the pencil to the paper
to draw a fine line and write the name that you whispered in my ear
when you told me how you felt
love
and when you folded the paper and slid it to me
i opened it to reveal that you found someone else
as i opened up my skin to reveal that i still love you
i will always love you
as you will love 300 other girls in your lifetime
and say the same thing to every one
love.

you occupy my mind as much as the brain occupies the skull
i crave your company as much as a girl craves chocolate
i need you as the body needs water and food
the disappointing thing is you probably haven't thought of me once since the day we broke up
but **** boy, its hard to forget such an impact on my life
everywhere i look
everything i see
brings something back
**** boy there was something pretty special about you
something special that i was so dumb to let go
and now i sit here and think of all the things we could be
9 months later
we could've gone on dates
had our first kiss
i could've been happy..
but **** boy
i'm missin' out on something special
that maybe some other girl is witnessin'
baby it could've been you and me against the world
we could've conquered it all together
you and i
but i took advantage of what i had
and persuasion took over and i left
so baby i'm so very sorry
could you ever forgive me?
baby i need you...

pull her in close
and stare into her eyes
look at her like you have
never looked at anyone else before
look into her eyes
and down to her lips
and slowly move in
seal the deal
with a sweet sweet kiss
lock your lips with hers
and take the key
she is yours
she will always be yours
make her feel loved
like no other boy has
seal the deal with a kiss
she's all yours now

I heard I got to see you today
I got up
I got dressed
I did my hair
All for you
I got to where you were
My friends were with me too
I was so excited
But you followed her around like a lost kitten...
You didn't even pay attention to me..
It was all about her..
Yes I know
She's prettier
She's funnier
She's better...
I got my hopes up..
I got too caught up in my own little fantasy
To focus on the reality that I will never be good enough
For anyone..
I'm too ugly
I'm too fat
I'm too awkward
I can see why you chose her..
She's perfect..
I bet you didn't realize
I didn't eat for days
To maybe lose a pound or two..
I bet you didn't realize
I spent hours
Working on my outfit
And perfected my makeup
Just to impress you..
But you were lollygagging around
Drooling pools over her
I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm not good enough...

nobody really knows
what happens behind closed doors

not until they get a glimpse of it
for themselves

the abuse
the tears
the hurt

nobody really knows
what happens when they're alone
behind closed doors

not until that person
has lived their last breath

the pain
the suffering
the misery

all gone now

your best friend
your classmate
that stranger in the hall

whoever she is to you
she's gone now
because nobody seemed to care
in her time of need

that smile
my dear
was false

the pain in her eyes
said it all
and not once
did you ask if she was okay

because what happens
behind closed doors
is left a mystery
until all that's left
is the memory

society is a cold dark place
if we think our hearts and souls are cold
think again
that girl in the halls
with her head down low
is gorgeous and perfect
has everything going for her
even though maybe she has a few imperfections
imperfection is beauty my darling
that one girl who is starving herself
because she has a metabolism that is a bit different
everyone calls her fat
girls are buying barbie hair
applying black chemicals to their eyes
throwing up in the bathroom in between classes
just to be accepted in the social norm
and fit the definition of beauty
just because she's different
doesn't mean she has nothing going for her
she will make millions
while she is asking you for no onions
on her big mac
she will eat that big mac with pride
as she puts her ******* your way
because you always thought you were better

the mountain top is success
and the bottom of the ocean is failure

over the course of life
we take a hike
and go swimming with dolphins

taking a hike doesn't get you
to the top of the mountain
and swimming with dolphins
doesn't get you
to the bottom of the ocean

we progress and fail in life
if we work hard and train
we get to the top of the mountain
if we don't try to get the anchor
off our feet
we fall to the bottom of the ocean

It's your choice
