If you could hear my unhindered voice,
You'd notice that I never should've been your first choice.

If you could whisper into my ear,
You'd notice that making you sad is what I fear.

If you could listen to my fumbled I-love-you's,
You'd notice that I'm fickle and too easy to bruise.

If you could touch my freckled skin,
You'd notice that I'm ever-so-slowly wearing thin.

If you could kiss my awaiting lips,
You'd notice that they have more than a few cracks and rips.

If you could hold me so, so close,
You'd notice that I've become reclusive and morose.

If you could see into my dreams,
You'd notice that I'm tearing at my seams.

  If you could hear all of my never-ending thoughts,
You'd notice my millions of remaining faults.

Now that you know exactly who you are,
I have one last statement, my shining star.

If you could decide to break my heart into two,
You'd notice that I'm glad that person would be you.

Dear long-lost lover:

Don't be such a pain
I've got plenty to gain

From the way I swing my hips
To the seductive words that pass my lips

People don't say I have a natural charm to be nice
Oh no, I am well aware of how to roll my dice

I am purposely everything you dream of
Of course, I became that after we fell out of love

You wanted a woman who would show her body
So I learned how to do that, without being gaudy

You wanted a woman with a cutesy face
So I learned how to do that, with style, class, and grace

You wanted a woman who would show you no pity
So I learned how to be kind yet heartless, quiet yet witty

Finally, you wanted a woman who would bend to your will
But that was one part of your model woman I didn't want to fill

Because you also wanted a bit of rebellion
So I became your most sought-after little hellion

Oh darling, I remember how you screamed when I turned you down
Oh darling, I remember how you pouted with your idiotic little frown

You couldn't fathom how I didn't want you back
After you broke my heart and made me crack

I became your model girl because I wanted you to suffer
I wanted to show you how you'd only made me tougher

So go ahead and call me anything you please
Because I'll be telling every girl how you only want them on their knees

The truth is simple: I don't care anymore
Go ahead and call me a **** or a *****

  I've accomplished my goal of becoming what you desire
Just so I can watch your burn in your own selfish fire

Oh my beloved, do you notice me?
I doubt it, I cherish you from afar.
Always your expression is one of glee.
Who am I to like you? You, a bright star?
Perhaps some day our paths will cross by fate.
Or maybe by sheer luck, I do not know.
Will your only feelings for me be pure hate?
I promise my love for you has no foe.
My mind and heart are restless, my sweetheart.
They are always arguing over you.
My heart wants something beautiful to start.
My mind is shouting, "Look for someone new!"
Oh my beloved, I have news to share.
Just now you grinned at me and began to stare.

It began quietly, as many things do.
In fact, it began while I was thinking of you.

The tears started to form in my eyes,
And my lungs became filled with a thousand sighs.

The tears then quietly streamed down my face,
And all I could think was, "Ha, what a disgrace."

So I sat there for a while with my face in my hands,
And all I could think was, "Ha, nobody understands."

It was then that my throat began to feel tighter and tighter,
And all I could think was, "Ha, I never was a fighter."

Eventually I began to quietly whine,
And all I could think was, "Ha, I was supposed to shine."

Soon I opened my mouth and let out a million silent screams,
And all I could think was, "Ha, there go my hopes and dreams."

Mere moments later I had cried my eyes dry,
And all I could think was, "Why?"

"Why did I waste so many tears,
On someone who has given me grief for years?"

"Why did I think you would've changed,
And not still be emotionally deranged?"

"Why do I put myself into this predicament time after time,
And think you won't commit another perfectly devastating crime?"

So I got back on my feet and wiped away all my tears,
And all I could think was, "Ha, it's time to be happy again for the first time in years."

I’m falling down, head over heels,
Waiting for you to catch me.

I don’t want to say this is love,
I don’t want to open my heart.

But, darling, I can see you and me together,
Holding hands and whispering sweet nothings.

I hear wedding bells tinkling,
Young children laughing.

Please catch me in your strong embrace.
You’re the only one I’ll ever fall for.

These butterflies in my stomach can’t keep me afloat,
They only make me ponder what this truly is.

My love, I’ll only say this once.
If you’ll be my darling, I’ll be yours.
