"Not all scars show.
Not all wounds heal.
Often we don't see the pain that someone else feels"

"It  is a risk to love.
What is it doesn't work out?
Ah, But what if it does"

"The moment before was the moment I knew,
I never needed anything the way my body needed,
you"

They ponder on why you starve yourself,
yet,
Complain when you are over-eating.
They tell you to seek help,
yet,
question on why you have a counselor.
They tell you to get a boyfriend,
yet,
Call you a **** once done.
What if they found out I cried myself to sleep every night.
Get over it?
What if they found out I slit my wrist as an escape.
Attention?
Next time I should just dig the razor blade a tiny bit deeper.
And
just
Bleed.
Now THAT would surely satisfy them.

I'm confused
Dazed
Pondering on myself
Questioning beliefs
Doubting up-bringing
Do I want her?
Do I need her?
I didn't think so at first
But every single time she talks to him
God,
It drives me mad.
That's it
I want her
Like a kid at Christmas
I need her
Like a moth to a flame.

I watch you breathe
as you sleep.
I'm afraid of what
you could mean
to me.

I study the stripes
on your shirt.
I think of all the
ways we'll flirt
and all the ways
we'll cry and I'll choke
with your hands
around my throat,
and Malboro Black
cigarette smoke
pouring down my
esophagus--
I wish I wasn't
so fond of us.

Love is for tin birds
in a flame cage.
