i always liked reading poetry more than writing it
i felt as though my words could not really explain my feelings
for some reason it gave me a sense of calmness reading
and knowing that someone feels the same empty ache in their
chest that i do.

you were a refreshing punch in the face. talking to you was like breathing in the crisp fall air after several months of the heat. for some reason you were so intriguing and my hands didn't even shake when i was around you. soon enough i fell in love with your laugh and how you made me feel, besides at 3 a.m because my heart ached to see you. i became in love with all your flaws but they weren't really flaws because they were perfect to me. you made me feel so safe and alive and although most days i wish i was dead you made me happy to live. you made me want to try, you made me want to be a better person. i cleaned up my mess of a life and even got out of bed early to see you. i was so consumed with you and before i even knew it you became my entire universe

you told me you wanted commitment
you told me i was everything that you ever wanted
you made me feel something.
he knew how broken i was
he knew what the last guy did and he looked
and me with those brown ******* eyes and told me he would
never hurt me.
i don't know if he was lying, or he just got tired of me.
weeks went by and things weren't feeling the same.
he did not text me 'good morning beautiful'
in fact sometimes he wouldn't text me at all.
he told me to not say 'i love you' until i meant it
but how could i tell him that when he didn't love me back?
he was so empty, but there was something so intriguing about him,
i think if he stayed around a little longer i could have given him the world.

Accidents.
at 7 years of age,
an accident was only
two cars that collided
tripping on my sock and falling
down the stairs,
walking backwards into my best friends sand castle
or dropping my ice cream.
i never considered a person to be an accident.
not once would i think that a mother would dread
carrying her baby around for 9 months, or cried when she
found out she was pregnant.
or give her child away...
was it really that hard to feed your child's mouth
a couple times a day? was it that difficult to pour bubbles into
their bath every sunday night? was to too hard to put them in school and watch them be successful? or was it easier just to give them away?
i never realized that i was an accident  until i was 12 years old
sitting on my bed,  that so many other kids have
slept on before me, watching  my best friend
meet his new parents for the first time.
I've seen so many people come and go
but i have always been stuck here
am i too much of a mistake to love?

even though we said we were in love i often found my fingers wrapped around another cigarette than intertwined with your fingers. my lips have touched more bottles of ***** than your bottom lip. i felt more empty being with you than sitting in my room at 3 a.m bawling my eyes out for the 3rd time this week because you looked at that girl in a more passionate way than you've ever looked at me. in fact I'm not even sure that those were butterflies i was feeling in my stomach or the pain of knowing that you wouldn't be mine for long. i fill all the empty holes in my heart with things that will make me end up being more empty.

its late at night again
and my hands are shaky
because i think i drank a bit too much *****
the burning in my throat is better than the hurt in my heart
and my palms are sweaty and my heart is beating fast and i
wish i could call you but you won't pick up the phone when you see
my number anymore and the scars are becoming more noticeable just
like your love for her and i wish you could see what you did to me but
you just left me here to bleed

him
him.
his lips were always chapped
and his hands were ice hold like his heart
he dug his way into your heart and buried
himself into your bones.
you would taste him in your morning breath
and smell him on your sheets..
at 3a.m when you've had a bit too much to drink
you could here his raspy voice whispering
in your ear "don't worry baby girl, you are mine" like a lullaby.
when he kissed you your lips would start to burn like
how your lungs burned when you breathed in his
second hand cigarette smoke.
your hair smelt like his cologne and the washing detergent
his mom would use to wash his stained ripped up clothes.
don't tell me that i will get over him
when he has become a part of me.
i feel him when i breathe
i see him in my sleep
i hear him in my dreams
hes a part of me.
