i can make myself feel prettier
than the way you did for me

He was smooth but not understanding
He was charming but not loyal
He was beautiful but a manipulator    
I knew this would come to and end
I knew I was a fool
He was secure but brought my insecurity
He was strong inside but not loving
He was my first but never mine

Press me against you
Like flowers in a book

Memories are just
A tightening behind the
Eyes that looked on you

You are the only reason
that fill my smiles
with hopes of tomorrow.

I searched for happiness
in a dark closet with the door closed.
