Don’t treat me like a child
Would a child do this?
Make you burn alive inside
Press your skin against my lips?

I’m not your little sister
Only a year younger
With the thoughts I have of you
I’ve developed a womanly hunger

Shh…. don’t speak
Just let it go
With the way we’re feeling
Why bother to say no?

You can tell me you don’t want me
But the joke would be on you
Because your body says something different
Showing me what’s really  true

If you’re worried about my brother
What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him
I know he’s your best friend
But we’re not acting on a whim

I know I want you now
But I’ll want you in the future
Don’t you think he’d love
His “bro” to be my suitor?

It really doesn’t matter
What anyone else thinks
I want you and you want me
Now let’s start with a few drinks
Cheers (;

Mommy, Mommy please don’t leave me here
Don’t you see the cuts?
Oh wait, no they disappeared

Daddy, Daddy why can’t you read the fear in my eyes?
No no, forget it
Just leave me alone with these lies

Brother, Brother you were supposed to protect me
Didn’t you hear my screams?
Don’t worry, nevermind, I’ll set you free

Sister, Sister I thought we were best friends
You missed my pain!
Oh well I guess all friendships are destined to end

Where was my family when they were needed?
Too busy dealing with **** that they missed my pleading
I wonder if now they see my tears
Hey there, Mommy! See! See! Those scars were real!
And Daddy, I’m so sorry to say
You won’t be seeing much in my eyes now from this day

Big brother, do your hear my cries now?
Funny how when you’re gone your voice suddenly becomes so loud
And sister I guess you realized it, ‘cause you forgot your boyfriend
That never happened when I was there, gee I wonder how long I’ll contend
What’s the big deal? You never cared when I was there
What’s the use now in all of those stupid prayers?

See I’m gone and I can’t come back
Dead is dead and now I’m lost in the black
But what I think is the most ****** up thing
Is how the darkness took me up under it’s wing
Now I’m at peace, wrapped up in it’s embrace
And you’re left here alone with the guilt you must face

I wish that I could fly
I wish that I could lie
I wish that I could cry
I wish that you would tell me why

I wish that we could dance
I wish we'd followed through the glance
I wish we would take the chance
I wish that we had romance

I wish that I could sing these words
From across the room
And as soon as you hear my voice
Your camera would focus and zoom

I also wish that you were the one
I really wish we could have fun
I really need to know if you're done
Do you know where I'm coming from?

Because this heartache is killing
And I'm not willing
To stay through a sitting
Of a show that I'll end up quitting

And one last thing

I wish I was alive
I wish we could survive
I wish you could revive
I wish I wasn't a ghost

lonely star,
don’t be sad,
you’re the first friend,
i’ve ever had,

i hope you can,
look over me,
as i look up,
its you, i see,

glittering, sparkling,
lighting up my sky,
please, my friend,
don’t say goodbye,

because if you leave,
who will i see,
and who will suddenly,
watch over me?

i need the guidance,
i need the light,
that you give me,
during the night,

lonely star,
don’t disappear,
its important that,
you’re always near,

because without my light,
without my star,
i guarantee,
i won’t get far,

lonely star,
now can you see,
what you have,
done to me?

I’m crashing into,
an emotional state,
that you, lonely star,
helped me create,

lonely star,
you helped me see,
that in the sky,
is where i want to be,

i hope we find,
each other again,
because after all,
you were my first friend

the flowers in your hair
are not fortunate enough to meet your eyes
instead they only ever sit on your head
and improvise
I am pondering breaking my pencil.
I wish the world was not so
precariously perched
on my shoulders.
One day it will fall
and everyone will be disappointed.
The only person truly happy would be me.
There's
           beauty
                      in
                           *silence.
