I loved those days.
When I'd slide over to you
And move so our eyes were level.
You always thought
I was trying to kiss you
I was just trying to look at you
To show
how much i loved you
No matter how unrequited
And all your excuse.
I still believe
still hope
That you'll love me someday too.

I lost something on the way,
a collection of memories...
Swallowed by the sea,
stolen by the waves
drifting aimlessly
from the river to the sea
no turning back, flowing
seeds started growing
I'm just living for now...

Bend your knees
his sins run down your face
open that sweet mouth
the vulguarity of your innocence
repugnant in your mouth
the ever familiar taste.

laying there naked in a river of deceit,
spread eagle waiting,
for what makes your soul weak
eyes closed in denial
you can no longer look at what you've lost

  The closest you feel
skin on skin,
in those moments you lose the fear
that your losing him.

and you pray for those moments just before bed
when your under the covers
and on his chest rests your head,
for then a few hours when you become slave to sleep
you hold hands with an angel
who keeps you company in your dreams

emily
she withers away
mind
and
body
she hears the whispers
of her once
beloved friends
-now the only love she gets
is the tug of her razor
across her skin-
they say things like
"what happened to her,"
and
"she used to be so happy,"
but they are wrong
nothing happened to her
and i can guarantee
that she was never happy
she just got tired
of the fake her
that seamlessly
took over her life
I miss the days when no one knew
When everyone asked me, what was wrong, and I  s m i l e d, and l i e d, and d i e d, and said nothing.
When It all was a secret
When I was strong.
When I could hide everything.
The pain, the blood, the cuts.
When I wore long sleeved shirts everyday to cover up the scars, that y o u caused.
I did it for
y o u
Even though you walked away, the scars you left were here to stay.
I'm sorry that you b   r  o  k  e my heart, and tore me apart.
If I could love someone else as much as I love you I would.
Because you don't deserve my love, or anyones, you don't deserve the tears, or the blood I've spilt
trying to get you to give two *****, about me, or about anyone else expect yourself.
You don't even deserve this, This morsel of respect, and love and tenderness, and forgiveness, I won't even try anymore, I've given up, you love someone else, and I have to face the facts, you can't love me, this mess of a girl, and I can't believe I'm saying this, after every little thing , but I still *l o v e   y o u
I thought you loved me.
I thought someone cared.
You lied to me.
You said you just wanted a break.
But you didn't want me around.
You could have just said so.
Said it right to my face..
Told me that I'm not worth it.
That I mean nothing to you.
That you wouldn't care if I left.
Do you know how worthless you have made me feel?
Do you have any idea how ****** up I am?
Why
Whats your reason, for doing this?
You told me I was your treasure that I mean't something, that I was beautiful.
Were those words just lies too?
I thought we could tell each other things.
Confide in each other.
I thought there were no secrets in our relationship.
I thought you were trying, I thought we were helping each other.
I thought wrong
Everything you told me were lies.
Everything I said was vague, but maybe its better to be like this, then to be like you.
"Curiosity killed the cat"
No
Your secrets killed me.
times you will escape my mind
and then I'll take
the fifth.

Funny how we woke up in the morning
and pretended that tomorrow never happened—
strutted naked in mirrors celebrating our youth,
laughing, knowing suns and moons couldn’t do the same.

We borrowed our arms from the fridge
and peddled bicycles with bad breath—
trading war stories ‘cause we knew
if we came back alive
life would still be the death of us.
