Humid air
Frizzy hair
who cares?

*It's December in Florida and it's 80 degrees and disgusting outside.

Good riddance to you!
You poisoned my life.
I'm cleansing myself
of your toxic bite.

When the new year comes,
I won't be thinking of us.
I'm done with your venom
and the pain it's caused.

I'll destroy and forget
your promise and gifts,
since I'm much better without you
than I ever was with.

Intoxicating
you give me a high
I'm addicted to you
and I can't tell why

you're totally wrong
in so many ways
but you strike on my match
and set me ablaze

With so many layers
I want to uncover
You're unlike the rest
A real four leafed clover

You told me how you feel today,
but that's exactly how I feel about  him.
Why does it have to be this way-
love being a game which no one wins?

You say you feel you need me,
just a glance will cause you pain.
Knowing that "us" will never be
makes your hope continue to drain.

I understand better than you think
because I feel this too.
I really don't want to break your heart,
but I don't know what else to do.

I really cannot love you;
no matter how hard I try.
You're just not the one I want
so please stop asking me "why?".

I don't want to make you hurt.
because I know too well what it's like.
So we'll both end up as losers
as the game of love strikes.

You ****** all the air out of my head,
making me dizzy, spinning
until I feel almost dead,
and that's just the beginning.

The shaking starts at the tips
of my fingers and my toes
then spreads to my lips
until on my whole body it shows.

I'm gasping as my body falls apart,
since you tied my stomach in a knot,
which swings around and bruises my heart.
My chest soon becomes boiling hot.

What do I do, what have I become?
Tears are rolling down my face.
Luckily, a good friend stops by
to give me a relieving embrace.

When I drive
beneath the city lights
I can't help but look up
and sigh.

The top floor
of the highest building-
so insignificant to everyone
but I.

The thrill we had
of sneaking in,
then climbing to the top-
so high.

Watching the traffic,
hearing the music,
and observing so many lives
go by.

One of my most memorable times
of growing up; understanding life,
but now it's just a memory that lives
underneath
the city lights.
