What's she's feeling shows on her skin
this self harm game she'll never win.
She enjoys it when she sin's.
You could call her a sinner
or a cutter.
But it won't stop her from taking that drug or blade
for another.
Her mind she got from her mother.
But the pain is like any other
praying to her father,
she's asking,
"how do i recover?
why do i even bother?
should i scream louder?".
Or will they yell at her for crying wolf?
calling her a fool
because they couldn't understand her "help".
They never understood how she felt
they always believed someone else
like the medicine on her shelf.
So she killed herself.

Can I tell you a secret?
Can I whisper it in your ear?
I promise, my darling,
this is something you'll want to hear:

I dream about you
during the day and late at night.
I dream about you
but you're no where in sight.

Can I tell you a secret?
Can I whisper it in your ear?
Listen, darling,
won't you pass me a beer?

My body's growing hot,
and yours is ice cold.
Let us just lay together,
until the day is old.

Can I tell you a secret?
Can I whisper it in your ear?
Trust me, my sweet,
I will you love you, my dear.

My arms around your neck,
and your hands wrapped in my hair.
The way your tongue moves
just really isn't fair.

Can I tell you a secret?
Can I breath across your neck
the words of the things I dream about
when you're removing my dress?

Chance

I know you saw me as I walked
past by the cafeteria
unlike how I am usually,
I didn't turn my head to look
I know you were hoping I did,
I know.

The reflection in your soul
I can tell you were miserable seeing me
like this, as I am, alone
though I've let you go
with a willing heart
I don't regret a thing;
I still think you're bound to me
you just won't let go.

I want to ask,
do you miss the right side of my figure
where you used to stand?
Your shoulder friction against mine now
the warmth of our friendship
slowly freezing
here I am, a changed soul
telling you to move on,
like I did
not because I wanted to
but because I needed to.

Forgive me if I sound heartless
but you no longer mean anything to me
I was the chance that flew
right in front of your eyes
in slow-motion
you missed it,
you missed me;
so here is my goodbye.

Blurry Vision

It's been too long
since I've felt your skin.
Arms that held me,
that were so strong,
were what ruined me.
The way they hit
and turned me blue
taught me to see.
It haunts me at night,
the misery of my heart.
The way I miss those arms.
I pray to lose my sight.

Perks of Dating a Poet (30w)

I speak in rhymes
But my love is divine.
And if you don't mind
Let's go beyond the lines.
Forget about the dimes.
My love will make you shine.

You are loved, remember that

You are loved, remember that

She must have come here in the pouring rain.
In the form of the pouring rain.
Falling down the roof.

Down you hair, if you’re outside. Down your temple, your face. Kissing your skin.

Reaching my skin, draped over my body like a warm blanket…
A wonderful thought.

You may not be aware of that single drop,
but she did kiss your skin before she fell down the pavement.

Like promises on your favourite park bench.
