I am notebooks stained with coffee and blots of black and blue ink and I am pages ripped and torn out of frustration I am friday nights spent watching old movies and sipping hot cocoa from some old mug that caught your eye I am black eyeliner and ocean waves and soft grey v-necks and stockings I am the songs you play when you want to hear the melody and not recognize the tune I am fairy lights at midnight when the clouds obscure the sight of the stars I am those stars and sometimes, I am the clouds I am dark red nail polish to match dark circles under eyes: I am mysterious in uninteresting ways I am dented silver crowns and rubies I am sweater paws and fatal flaws I am beautiful chaos: chipped paint and pulled threads one tug away from unraveling broken hearts and waterfalls rose petals 2 a.m. phone calls I am the love you gave and the love you took and I am the love I found in myself after you were gone

"a study in myself"
I am notebooks stained with coffee and blots of black and blue ink and I am pages ripped and torn out of frustration I am friday nights spent watching old movies and sipping hot cocoa from some old mug that caught your eye I am black eyeliner and ocean waves and soft grey v-necks and stockings I am the songs you play when you want to hear the melody and not recognize the tune I am fairy lights at midnight when the clouds obscure the sight of the stars I am those stars and sometimes, I am the clouds I am dark red nail polish to match dark circles under eyes: I am mysterious in uninteresting ways I am dented silver crowns and rubies I am sweater paws and fatal flaws I am beautiful chaos: chipped paint and pulled threads one tug away from unraveling broken hearts and waterfalls rose petals 2 a.m. phone calls I am the love you gave and the love you took and I am the love I found in myself after you were gone
