Hello

It started with hello
With no where to go.
You then me.
How could this be?

It was great for weeks,
But then came streaks
On my heart.
They hurt like a dart.

Months of nothing
How was it something?
It didn't end in good bye
I just watched it fly

Miscommunication broke it
And I choked on it-
The words and tears,
I would have no fears.

I left because of you,
But who wears the shoe?
Who gets the blame,
And all of that fame?

Has it happened to you?
It doesn't have to..
TALK.. please
Don't let it freeze

Finally got it out right..

Sleep

Went to bed at six
And I slept all through the night
Now I'm awake again

Clean

What does it mean
To be clean?

Hygienic?
Sober?

Do you want to be clean?
Do you need to be green?

It has many meanings
What's yours?

Out **** spot, out, out!! -Macbeth

Sister

Born brand new-
"Who's that?" I asked,
It was you-
My sister.

Just over a year
And you were here but
I'd never let you fear
My sister

I'd wash you gently
But you became dependent
Consequently
My sister

I'd let you pick
Your favorite toy
And I didn't care a lick
My sister

Now we fight
And scream and laugh
But you always are the light
My sister

We have the same mind,
Can't play on the same team,
But we're always kind
My sister

We defend each other
But go through a lot together
And protect one another
My sister

Without you I would be a brat
I'd lose my priorities
And call people fat

Without you
-My sister-
I would be lost too.

Love,
Your sister

Self Love

I see a pimple
Bright on my face
There are quite a lot
To even trace

They travel down
My neck and back
It really makes
Me feel like crap

There are quite a lot
Of things I hate
Like my short legs
And nose that's not straight

My hands are small
Kinda stubby
I have stretch marks
Around my tummy

Even though I have things I hate
Never would I change

For I love it all
Even my so called 'flaws'

My body is mine
And I'm pretty **** fine

Diamond Tears

Her eyes sparkle
Her cheeks have streaks
From the diamonds she cries

Her tears are more beautiful
So unlike salt water
They shine showing the joy seeping from her soul

She is the epitome of riches
So gorgeous and sad
With her diamond tears

They always mean so much more
For she rarely cries
Her diamonds clinking onto the ground

She is so precious
Far more than the diamonds
That fall from her eyes

I wish I could stop the spilling diamonds
So she could keep that beautiful sparkle
In her soul
