for every fear
I had in me
my words are silenced
by the backspace key
I try to type
what's in my heart
yet every sentence
a shot in the dark
out comes false words
my honesty ends
I give up and I
press send

beautiful girl
what did you do?
to have someone like him
love someone like you?

beautiful girl
what did he see?
what was in you
that wasn't in me?

was it your chocolate hair
that he loved so much?
was it your porcelain skin
that he loved to touch?

or was it something that i
just couldn't see?
or just everything i
couldn't be?

beautiful girl
what does he say?
how does it feel
to be loved this way?

what is it like to hear
his stupid laugh?
to have everything i
couldn't have?

was it your chocolate hair
that he loved so much?
was it your porcelain skin
that he loved to touch?

or was it something that i
just couldn't see?
or everything i
couldn't be?

i'm not angry
i just wasn't enough
please take care
of the
only boy
i've
ever
loved
.

yes, it was your chocolate hair
that he loved so much
it was your porcelain skin
that he loved to touch

it was your smile
that lit up a million worlds
it was you
it was you
all along
the
beautiful
girl
.

won't you come with me
where the fireflies are
and the blanket of dark
is filled with stars

won't you come in the forest
and smell the midnight breeze
then lie down on the tulips
and stay here with me

we would lay in comfortable silence
with intertwined hands
and I'll fall more in love
than I possibly can

our eyes become heavy
as we drift into sleep
and in my dreams, I wonder
how you are here with me

until the sun wakes up
and the sky shines blue
and the first thing I see
when I open my eyes
is
you

tap, tap, tap
a blocky symphony
surrounds the room
tap, tap, tap
a choreography of letters
dance in my mind
tap, tap, tap
the faint glow of the screen
invade my eyes
tap, tap, tap
          tap, tap, tap
                     tap, tap, tap
