I breathe like your laugh
is taking up all the air
in my apartment, like
maybe I'll **** in a story
you left buried under a
blanket in the corner,
like all I have left of you
is a few endings to a
couple of sentences
whispered into my ear.
and I'm not
religious
but you're
the closest
I've ever
come to what
people call
Heaven
i know im not pretty like the rest
im not fit like the best
i didnt reach my fullest-
potential

my words aren't as strong
and my torsos not as long
im not like the others

those girls who are smart
who are thin
who are both
who are in
who have  

those boys who are hot
who are kind
who are both
who aren't mine

i don't laugh like they do
im not loud im not squealing
im the girl who can even reel you in
to focus on what im saying that
i love you

but im not like the rest
the girls who i know will fit you best
cos im not like those girls but i wish i was
because those are girls theyre ones you love
who squeal and are smart and thin and beautiful
who are everything you want and
deserve and need

and im not one of
those girls
I knew
today
would
be a bad
day
because
when I
got in
my car
that song
you hate
by that
artist you
love was
playing.
