August
I miss you when nights are cold,
While the fire is breathing on my face,
And I can't stand to feel the trace
Of your skin on mine.
I feel so old.

To remove your fingertips,
Bury myself in the glowing embers,
Scorch any trace of you off
My blackened burns.
*I only wish.
Amara Pendergraft 2014

I've been trying so hard to be good again.

Slowly, boy, slowly
You captured my heart
In a blink of an eye, so easily,
You tore it apart

Telling me we'll make it out together
But you still see me no better
And why do you keep saying forever,
When you're out there looking for another?

Tell me, please tell me
How to breathe when i cant
Because maybe
I'm one of the dead.
I dont understand people who say I love you when they dont mean it. How could they pretend they did? How could they break someone's heart? Like. Just die.

Love is not a game.

Wednesday
Summer raining on the Eastern seaboard
I liked you better before November, personally

There are metal shards floating in this bathwater
Their own tiny islands of pain
A mirror in shards face up on the floor
Guess that is just another 7 years of bad luck

Pennies are dropping into the bathtub
Copper going plink plink plink
Tiny rivulets running their paths

That's just the sound of my lifeline going down the drain, again
Smells like metal and tastes like pain
Red river gushing from my veins

Locked door trying to staunch the flow of secrets
Head swimming to the tile floor
clink clink clink

Scars these days open so easily
Like the Raven said, Nevermore
