The way your eyes light up
When you smile,
They show such wonder.

I've never seen anything
Like them before,
They spark like magic.

Crystal eyes,
Marble skin,
Charcoal locks,
Sculpted grin,
Painted lips,
Crimson red,
Rigid limbs,
Made of lead.

Rough laughter,
Rougher hands,
Straight posture,
As it stands,
Tall and strong,
Stubborn, yet fair,
No other could
Dream to compare:

You are you,
And I am I,
I see you and
You see my light
When I was dark
And felt alone
You were the star
That brought me home.

We are the same
Fiery orbs that light
The black skies
In the longest nights,
And you remind me
I have the same heart
As I fly to you,
Your shooting star.

My cheeks feel wet
Without any tears,
My stomach's tied
Into so many knots,
That I feel it burn now
In my heart itself.

I felt nothing
And then I felt it all
And now I feel nothing
But everything fall,
And as it falls, I'm here,
Spinning, standing still.

I never asked for this,
I was okay in my tower,
But still I grabbed your hand,
I pulled you up to me
And as you stepped in--
I slipped out.

I'll wear my lipstick just a little bit brighter,
Do my hair real nice,
Soft, long, and free,
I'll draw on my eyeliner as a perfect line,
A stroke of vivid black,
With a perfect wing,
Just like the ones I grew to fly away from here.

Maybe when I'm gone, I'll be pretty enough.
Maybe when I'm gone, you'll be able to think back.
Maybe when I'm gone, you'll remember me.
Or maybe, when I'm gone, you'll just forget.
I become a ***** when I sense things ending
I get this itch and my heart starts bending
So I’m mean to avoid the pain
And I’m sad to get rid of the shame
I’m trying so hard not to be hurt
That you were leaving without an alert
But I know it’s better to give you a reason
Friends seem to change with the season
I'm sick of these friendships that only bring pain
Saying you do everything
These fights that only bring blame
But where were you friend
When I needed you most
When I thought it was the end
The person I leaned on
Appeared to be gone
So this is it
Final goodbye
I deleted your contact
I'll never say hi
just trying to heal with words.
I can't remember our first kiss
I think it was that time in your car
but there were many
            times in your car
I can't remember our first kiss
I remember our first text
first picture
first time we met
but our first kiss...

it's been three years since that kiss
give or take
and
I think of you less
I guess that's progress
I remember my first time lighting a cigarette
It took forever to get the hang of it
The smell was something I'd never forget
Lime green box, the same you used
Breathing in deep, my first hit
And I faltered as I let out the smoke
Toppling almost, landing only to sit
I used to hate smoking, too soon I spoke
For now, the air is thick and gray
Moving in and out of my lungs
The smoke trailing softly away
Like the taste of you on my tongue
I smelled of you
*The only thing worse than breaking my heart
Was getting me addicted too

anger is her name
vengeance is in her blood
it runs through her veins
and eats away at her skin
nothing will come between her
and the justice she deserves.
