Her hearts full of damaged goods
She can only take so much pain before her body overflows
With unforgiven words and painful memories
The mixture under her skin eventually becomes a hurricane
You can’t see it but you can hear the thunder
She has to bleed out the hurt that runs through her veins
She doesn't like remembering
Because remembering makes her feel
And feelings are over rated
She started drinking because everything is so much sweeter
Without conscious thoughts
She has an unexplainable sadness etched into her smile
When she lays in her bed at night
She thinks of all the things she could have said
But was too afraid to admit
Maybe if she had said them
Her dad wouldn't have left
Or her mom would stop coming home from her double shift
Just to pass out after blazing
Maybe the only one she ever loved
Wouldn’t have gone after someone who loved him better.
She seeked happiness in street allies that were only lit up by the Moon
She wanted to reach up and touch the stars
But since she couldn't fly
She snorted another line of fairy dust just to keep her floating
