Sweet Hell

You were forever on my mind.

 

Your eyes,

Your dimples,

Your entire ******* face.

 

I stopped thinking for me

And started to think for you.

 

Will he like this shirt?

He won't like me if I gain anymore weight.

Does he prefer my hair up or down?

 

I should have ran then.

 

Now here I sit

Watching the waves roll in,

Completely devoid of emotion.

 

I've cried my heart out until i could cry no more.

I decided then to pack away my heart.

 

I wrapped it up in the newspaper from last Sunday.

The one that mentioned all the graduating seniors.

I whimpered a little when I read your name.

 

Then I placed it in a cardboard box.

I ****** in a deep breath when I realised

That box had your mixtapes in them.

 

I shoved the box that held my heart into the back of my closet;

The one you hid in when my parents came home unexpectedly.

 

I take a few deep breaths whenever I see that box.

 

I remember taking a sharpie and writing a few words on the top.

 

NEVER TRUST A BOY WITH GREEN EYES AND A GUITAR.
