sadly
it's the broken toys
who were played
to the
core
the broken toys
were overworked
overused
but the toys
did not
know
that they were overused
because they
were loved.

m.g.

maybe
i am just
that one girl
no one seems
to care for
to love
to embrace
to do anything with
but
i dont think
they realize
that i’ve got
feelings as well,
and maybe
just maybe
I've got someone
who needs me to live
who needs me to be there
and take care of them.

m.g.

why must
the saddest of people
be the ones
who get
hurt
the most?
it is not exactly
fair
you see,
they are hurt
they must be healed,
but some wounds
do not want to close
and choose
to remain
open
and raw.

m.g.

sometimes its the affection
that matters
more than the
love,
y'know?

affection is something we all
crave
humans need affection
to live,
maybe the reason we stay
with the ones who hurt us most,
is because in times of darkness
they show us
affection.

m.g.

slowly
I've grown less
hungry
I've stopped eating
but  no one is to know
i am supposed to be
strong
for you, my love,
i have to show you
that i'm okay
and that you don't have
to worry about
me
and my petty life
anymore
i'm trying to become beautiful
because i know that
im not.


m.g.

when we meet
i can picture it
you're sweaty after giving your all onstage
but i don't care
you're waiting for me
nervously turning your head
in all directions
after some time,
i walk in
and we lock eyes
your green eyes meeting my brown ones
you stand up,
and start to run
i run as well,
i jump and wrap
my legs around your torso,
as you hold me close,
and suddenly
we both feel safe.


m.g.

take a deep breath
in the mirror
he didn't
like it when i
wore high heels
but i do,
turn the lock
and put my headphones on
he always said
"i never get this song."
but i do,
walked in expecting you'd be
late
but you got here
early
and you stand and wave
i walk to you
you pull my chair out
and help me in
and you don't know
how nice
that is,
but i do.


t.s. & m.g.

if i could
i would
shrink myself
and sink through
your skin
to your blood cells
and remove
whatever is making
you hurt.


m.g.

ignite that ****
light
glowing inside of you
its there
its there, my love
but you're trying to
dull it
down
saying there's nothing more inside of
you
than emptiness,
but i can
see
that little light
barely shining through,
let it out,
you've got to let it out.
