My feet are barely touching the ground -- euphoria or depression again?
A bit of both, I suppose...

Mother

Mother

You have no trouble joking about boyfriends with everyone else,
so what's wrong with me?
Why can't you be that way with me?
Now that I have someone I can share with you, I want to be able to.
But you ignore and scream and become paranoid.
What's wrong with you?

I've never been close with my mom, but more recently, she's been making my life miserable.

My First Kiss With A Girl

L Apr 2015

My First Kiss With A Girl

It was rushed.
I was so nervous that my hands wouldn't stop shaking.
She didn't seem to notice.
As soon as we rounded the corner and I was up against a wall,
her lips were up against mine...
Rather haphazardly.
She tasted sweeter than church wine.
I placed my hands on her shoulders and pushed her away gently.
"Let's try that again, yeah?"
The second time was better.
Her lips fit between mine like a plug to an electrical outlet --
Instant electricity.
It was nice while it lasted.

For the lovely R, my first for everything.

My First Kiss With A Boy

My First Kiss With A Boy

It was terribly awkward.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and without warning,
placed his chapped lips on my virginal ones.
I pulled back and scrunched up my nose.
"That wasn't too good, was it?"
"No, not really."
"Can I do it again?"
The second time was better.
He had run his tongue over his lips this time.
It didn't matter anyway.
He wasn't the one I wanted to be kissing.
It was always him.
Maybe it always will be, in some part of my mind.

Thought I'd follow the trend with this one

Jealous Guy // John Lennon

L Apr 2015

Jealous Guy // John Lennon

I was dreaming of the past
and my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
Oh I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
I thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
watch out baby I'm just a jealous guy
Look out baby I'm just a jealous guy

I cry every time this song makes its way to the needle

For weeks, I watched you. You looked like ****. Still do, but it's better now. Your eyes aren't as dark, your face isn't as red. Yeah, you still look like ****. And it's obvious you're pretending to be alright. Unfortunately, everyone can see it. You're transparent and you don't even know it. It's painful to watch... so I decided not to.

I don't think I can help

A First Kiss

L Apr 2015

A First Kiss

A first kiss tells you everything you didn't know about a person.
It let's them know what you really feel about the them without words that you're each afraid to say.
It's a vulnerability, a brief opening of your heart, a little glimpse into your mind.
It's like saying "I have words to express how I feel, but this sums it up better".
It's new.
It's opportunity.
It's spring.
It's sunshine.
It's living.
