I don't want to imagine you and her
hands intertwined
walking together in the dark concrete jungle
while I'm left alone on these cold dirt roads.

I can't imagine how you could ever
love a girl like me
that looks upon your past
with such jealousy.

And you wouldn't imagine
how one look in those eyes
makes me gravitate towards you
and forget those times
when you were
with her.

I watch the chatter of long time friends
The jealousy's blooming
It will never end
The thing that's always been there that refuses to let go
This ***** named jealousy is the only friend I know.

You said you loved me
You said you cared for me
You said that you would never leave me
That you would always be with me
But this morning I woke up and you werent there
Your side of the bed was cold and empty
You left nothing but a note: Sorry to leave but i realized that we were not meant to be together.
Pictures of you and the girl you told me you hated is all over the internet
You are smiling at her the same way you used to smile at me
You kiss her the way you used to kiss me
And now you leave me here alone lying on the cold floor only in my underwear
Did you mean the words that you always whispered in my hears every night
Do you really care about me or was it all a BIG FAT LIE!!
Pretty girl,
You are not a Barbie.
You are not a bleach blonde plastic object to be dressed up and toyed with.
Pretty girl,
You are not a balloon.
You are not meant to be filled up and emptied or popped.
Pretty girl,
You are not scratch card.
You are not meant to be scratched open and apart
People looking for answers and joy within you.
Pretty Girl,
You are a human being.
You are meant to be flawed and scarred and to watch movies on a Saturday night alone.
Your body is meant to be a temple
It is not meant to be judged for its sexiness by
Teenaged boys who have no idea what the world is made out of.
A size 16 and a double zero have the same claim to happiness
Without stepping outside their house and feeling like there is no place for them there.
Pretty girl,
You are a pretty girl.
And there is pride in that.
Don't allow yourself to feel "dumb" or "stupid" based on your inability to achieve something you care little about.
