I used to love all of the drama
all of the *******
I was never a part of it
always off in the corner
watching,
observing,
unknown
the "struggles" my friends encountered
"My boyfriend is a ******"
oh no, please tell me more,
"He likes other girls"
you don't say
"My best friend didn't pay,
for the **** I loaned him"
what a *****
you should probably fight him
go ahead,
feed me what I need,
I won't tell
I have always been best at
being a blank canvas

I know I did my thing
whatever the **** that is
but I have never
been more graced
than the moment I actually met you
you perfect ******* girl
who is so not perfect
our lives are intertwined with ****
I know it better than most
but baby listen here
it's a wild world
and we've always had fun
so i know the time is coming
where our fun
is less fun than actuallity
but I don't want that to happen
I cling to our time together
like a child
clings to his first memory of Christmas
because you have shaped me
to be good,
******,
mean,
loving,
caring,
desperate,
and as time goes on
My life shrinks away
like the time we have left
so please
ignore my flaws
and perfections
show me how
the world ends

She was everything he was not
He was everything she wanted
She was a nervous wreck
he was too, but in denial
She wanted to save him
from not wanting to be saved
He wanted to protect her
from whatever might come
they were young
and yes,
they were stupid too
just like everybody else
She went away
He stayed a hometown boy
who wasn't at home
She could sing
He could listen
she was a wild child
looking for a port to settle
he was a nice guy
looking for something
not so nice
children of divorce
kindled a feeling of
let's make this work no matter what
and maybe it won't
they don't seem to care
too many romcoms
and too many chipped shoulders
all they wanted
was to write
their own love story

Hello dearest, i finally got up the courage to talk to you, and
Everything on my part was terrible, i couldn't even maintain eye contact
You, oh dearest, you were amazing.

My surprise when i noticed your smile, and how beautiful it is.
Y do you do this to me, you torture me by how nervous you make me

Now i hope that i did not make a fool of myself
And that you still like me
My oh my, heart raced today
Everytime i looked at your sweet face

I think you should know, i have liked you for awhile,
Since before today, but you have just been unattainable, but now is my chance.

Will, won't, do, don't
Stop, go, yes, no
Hello, Goodbye,
I can't, I'll try

Positives or negative
It doesn't matter what the word
It's just how one perceives it
It matters how it's heard

A negative is positive
If the word gets the reaction
Of making someone know just what
To do for satisfaction

No, No, No, scares all of us
It shows we've not done something right
But turn the No, No, No around
And the results are out of sight

Can't is just a cop out
While can...well, not so much
that apostrophe with the small t
Is just another crutch

Some people live for failure
Reaching goals is not the norm
Success come with responsibility
And to some, that's just bad form

Two wrongs do not a right make
But three lefts will get you there
See, you've turned around a negative
It's a thought you have to share

The strongest word I know is NO
Because it teaches you just what
You have to do to learn success
With all the talent that you've got

So, next time you hear negatives
Put a spin on what you've heard
Can't, No, Won't are negatives
But...they're only just a word.

no, i am
not in love with you
you - however that word may be
defined
you:
one; anyone; people in general: a tiny animal you can't even see
you you you oh, you
who has been buried under the blanket of time
you, who i no longer
see

the term
out of sight, out of mind has never
applied to me
but i do believe
you can stay in love with a memory
long after a person
has chosen to
flee

no, i am
not in love with you
but i still look at your pictures
to remind myself that i was once very close
to someone extraordinary
as i know you are, still
even though you are no longer
anywhere remotely close
to me.
