I see you dancing with him
I see you grooving on him
I see his friend tap him on the shoulder
I see him smile and point at you
I see you waiting for him
Dancing on your own
I see him
Using you
And I'm sorry

I stood at the edge
Standing upon a ledge
Of a twilit city
Silence broken by the hoot of an owl
And the laughter of pure joy

Normally
I reflect
I analyze each step,
and every word
I make
and say
to find the mistakes
the mistakes,
I always make.

But by you and with you
I do not reflect
or analyze
no step
and no word
I made
and said,
and even though I’ve made ​​mistakes,
the mistakes,
I always make,
I do not care.

Because when I’m with you,
walking with you
and talking to you,
I don’t have to
worry about my mistakes,
the mistakes,
I always make,
because you make me feel
like having no mistakes.

And I’m happy
happy
happy as long time
no more.

I spent the fourteenth summer of my life begging.
In the aisles of the supermarket
I found I needed to be the mother of a cactus,
My own mother said plants were a bigger responsibility
Than one would first assume.
In the overwhelming bustle of the summer fair,
I decided I needed to become a parent to a baby rabbit.
My mother warned me that I could not handle the responsibility.
I became the proud owner of both,
Pouring every ounce of myself into each.
But, I seemed to have mismatched ideologies on water.
The cactus drowned,
And the rabbit dried up.
My mother was right.
A lot of things died that day.

Look at me;
watch as my body
caves to your
everything.
Your hands are
like a poison
seeping into
my skin,
infecting every
inch of my body.
But please,
continue on,
I won't dare ask
you to stop;
You're easily the
worst, best thing
that's ever happened
to me.
