Melt over my body
Scotch my skin
Peel away the pain
By adding a new sensation

How did we get here?
Crumpled being on the tile
Unable to rescue themselves
Pathetic

Maybe you're right
Wear me out
Wring me dry
Hang me out on a line.

A DUI
I'm not saying goodbye

You took the key
And left without me

Now we're stuck
All of us in a rut

What are you going to do next?
You already seem so caught up in this net.

Just give me a reason-
You up and left in the middle of our season.

I came home and your clothes were gone.
But we still have one more song..

I'll play it out on the piano in time
Hoping you'll come home and finish this rhyme.
It's been a crazy week/weekend.

We all say that society is ugly
But we all have wished to look like her.

I spend so many nights starring up from my bed.
Gazing upon the plastic glow in the dark stars.
Vision blurs as I long to be staring at the real thing.
Or maybe- it's not so much that I want to see them.
Maybe it's I want to be one- I want to be a star.
I want to be looked for- to be wanted so badly that people travel miles just to get far enough away to see me properly. What a different feeling, to be wanted. To feel so loved and cherished. That's all I've ever wanted, I want to feel noticed. I want to feel loved. I want to feel like I'm worth something. I don't just want to be wanted. I want to be wanted by you. So tell me, will you travel away from it all to see me? Will you miss me when you have to return to civilization? No.. No you will simply stay where you are- not bothering to take a chance on something you can't see. But why would you? So many shine brighter than me..

This was the one thing
One thing you forbade yourself from
Promises wasted
Look at you now-
Blotchy faced
Red knuckled
Stained cheeks
Disgusting.
Are you happy now?
Satisfied?
Because I sure as hell am not.

Open me up, after I've gone.

What will you find?

Old love notes- never sent?

***** water and clean clothes?

Murky thoughts and clever rhymes?

I know you wish to find out.

So do I.

But we will wait- until I am gone.

Then you will open me up-

And you will find me.

Maybe this is me lashing out
In a way I never could
I can't yell or scream
I can't hurt you
So I hurt myself

I do something that I wouldn't do
I don't want to be me anymore
Maybe that's why
But now all of this is going down
And everyone's freaking out

They want to send me away
Lock me up. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad
I wouldn't have to be me
I could be anyone
"Hello, my name's Jane Doe."
