the untrampled path
once written
is no longer new

nobody really knows
what happens behind closed doors

not until they get a glimpse of it
for themselves

the abuse
the tears
the hurt

nobody really knows
what happens when they're alone
behind closed doors

not until that person
has lived their last breath

the pain
the suffering
the misery

all gone now

your best friend
your classmate
that stranger in the hall

whoever she is to you
she's gone now
because nobody seemed to care
in her time of need

that smile
my dear
was false

the pain in her eyes
said it all
and not once
did you ask if she was okay

because what happens
behind closed doors
is left a mystery
until all that's left
is the memory

We hold our pillows at night

Dreaming of holding another person

We wake up at dawn's first light

And still we are alone

you are the boy that makes me feel like i own all the stars
you make me feel like i am one myself
sometimes i find myself thinking about you at times i should not be

sometimes i let my eyes wander straight into the sun
do you ever look at the moon and think of me?

you are a galaxy in yourself
the symphony of bright eyes and nose crinkles
protruding collar bones and chapped lips

you are everything
and i am just a star in your world
i wish i could be more

when you waved and smiled
i thought for a second
maybe
just maybe you waved at me
but i was dumb and wrong
because i turned around
and saw a pretty girl with perky eyes

ive never known love
ive never had the feeling
that someone will always
be willing to hold your hand
and thinks you're beautiful
when you haven't showered for two days
and how even when you feel so small
they make you feel big again

i wish i knew
oh god i want to know
love is like a secret
everyone knows but you
love is like an inside joke
your friends never told you
the whole world seems in love
and here i am

because you only like the girls
with cherry lips
and buys tongues
and laughs that carry
through a storm
i am not one of those girls
you like girls with warm hearts
and although mine is warm
hers is burning hot
and mine is a lingering luke warm

and ****, i bet your lips taste like diet coke and mint
and i bet every time that stupid song comes on
you sing really loudly
and i bet you and her dance to it
because you are in on the secret
that is better known as love
