May 2014
with an unknown force
you drag me in
by my wrists
i know i shouldn't want it
you're no good
i'm too much
you're too little
too many near misses

and right when i'm done
the bruises have healed
the thoughts repressed
you tell me again
that i'm pretty
and it starts all over

you kissed my flaws
you made them feel
something other than worthless
and i miss you
and wish you opened up for me
like i would for you
if only you'd ask
freshman year you told me you loved me.
sophomore year you told me i think too much.
junior year you told me i had a cute smile.
this year you told me i was pretty.

but i think more than anything
i want you to be okay
