Welcome to my Sunday Night. 12:50 AM Wide awake from the adderall I swallowed to chase my need for achievement 1:03 After Achieving approximately zero of my work I find myself fully indulging In the little teenaged demon on my shoulder. As she encourages The Rapid Fire   of Clicks That lead to your Facebook Page 1:04 I'm paging through photos of your lovers past I Stop and Stare at Her And So begins The Laundry List of comparisons She has a better jawline than mine. Her eyes are browner than mine? Her gaze is Piercing She's so edgy She's so original She's basically Perfect 1:35 At this point I've Paced Approximately 205 Circles Around My Room Listed About 80 Reasons Why she's Better than me Crawled Into a Fetal Position Of Panic Concluded That I could Never Make You as Happy as She Did Wondered How I could have been so Foolish Concocted 37 Schemes for Finding A Way Out Imagined You calling her "Baby" Over and Over and Over and Over Cried Searching for the emotions I'd gambled Like Poker Chips Throwing them all in, as a Sentiment to my Commitment 1:40 I'm Asking Myself 1:41 How would I ever give him what he needed? 1:42 How could I be the Girl he'd end up with? 1:43 Why would I believe that I was right for him? Each minute delivering haymaker Questions, Each more crushing than the last. And as my mind prepared for its Nightly Death I Pause. 1:45 Checking the date that these photos found Origin 1:46 Approximately 3 Years Since it was all over. 3 Years since the last I Love You Post More than 2 Years since The last photo that his eyes Sang Genuine Love Songs. 3 Years that Their hearts had not been beating each others names. 1:47 My Brain drags back The Questions of Before Torturing Me. 1:48 But Suddenly There's a **** inside me My heart is playing defense 1:49 How Could I give him what he wanted? Because my heart beats for the seconds in which your smile resides. Because I'll accept nothing less than what you deserve, sun and stars alike. 1:52 How could I be the girl he'd end up with? Because 3 Years is enough time to refine your tastes. Because I'm in love with you today, and today you kissed me With your eyes closed. Because that smile doesn't belong to her anymore. 1:55 Why would I believe that I was right for him? Because you deserve someone to love you like only I can. Because I am a fighter. I fight for what's right. And every part of me is fighting for us. Because I will not be driven away by shadows that leave as Darkness Descends. I am there in the nights when goosebumps chill. I am there when I can only be felt. I am there to create a smile that can only be heard. Who are you to believe so strongly in a pipe dream? 2:00 I am the hopeless romantic. 2:05 I am the one whose got nothing left to lose.   2:10 I am the one who wears that title as a Badge of Honor. 2:15 I am the one who will fight the world in protection of that tribute. 2:20 With every swipe of my pen in a love letter 2:30 With every kiss fueled like a right hook 2:40 With every second shoving toward making You Happy 2:50 Who are you to claim him "yours"? I'm the one who refuses to get lazy with time. I'm the one who will never say things out of spite. I'm the one who has committed to their joy. 3:00 Who am I? I'm the girl who will show him how to be loved. That's ******* who.

You Are My First Poem After Writer's Block
