It shines and lusters

Through any case, she tries to hide it

Its jagged edges sprawl, like the rays of the sun

Hypnotized by its beauty, she grabs hold of it

Edges piercing her fragile skin

But oh how the diamond glows

She barely notices the crimson

Gracefully floating through the pores on her delicate fingers

Connective tissue starts to mend the pain, lacerations become scars

She ignores the old wounds as she cannot leave the diamond be

She’ll hide it with her forever until she can no longer feel

Tight jeans and a southern smile
Aaron Watson in the speakers of your big obnoxious pick up truck
Leather boots and a Texas tattoo
charming when your sober,
something else when intoxicated
Exchanging jokes that only our desert humor can take
Cruising down the loop on the back of your bike
Grabbing onto you a little tighter then I need to
Seeing small glimpses of person I admire,
quickly masked by hours of one I feel sorry for

…I didn’t know our kisses and two steps were undercovers

I
Don't
Even
know
What
qualities
to look for
in a man
anymore.

I wish I didn’t but I did
I wish I was cool enough
But I am not
I wish I didn’t picture him in the bed
Instead of you
I wish you asked first
I wish I didn't want to do it too
I wish we didn't need 10 shots
I wish I had the upper hand
I wish you would’ve called
I wish you weren’t number 5

I cannot breathe
It takes every ounce of my energy
For oxygen to reach my lungs
It comes so easy for everyone else
When I get lost in my head
I return to life gasping for air

Your blue eyes, and faded jeans

Breathe

Your hand tucking hair behind my ear

Breathe

Long walks under starry skies

Breathe

Quiet kisses under the covers

Breathe

Tropical sunsets and New Jersey snow
Making me rethink everything
Making me fall hard
Being ******* perfect

Breathe

Left me in love and Alone
Cold in your eyes as you tell me to go
No explanation no reason at all
Just a piece of my heart and you go

Breathe

Breathe

. . . Breathe

Kiss on the cheek in new york city
Giving you everything for the first time
Christmas day when you finally said the words
March when you took them back
Not looking back from the highway

Breathe

Day 5 no call

Breathe

Day 30 no call

Breathe

Month 6 no call



. . .Faint

You look at me different
Like no ones ever looked at me
You caress my face, and I melt
I run my fingers through your hair and get lost
Please don’t come find me
You have the power to make me transcend into another world
In a world where its just you and I
Laughing and smiling in a place where there are no quandaries
Nothing that could ever keep us apart
You tuck my hair behind my ear
And my heart feels whole
My soul recognizes something in you
Something I cannot attempt to describe
When good things come to my life
I think of you
When bad thoughts come to my head
Your voice heals me . . .

Then reality sets in
The tears come rolling down uncontrollably
Pain radiates from my torso
My stomach and heart feel as if they’re being ripped out of my body
Tears faster now, like waves crashing against the shores of my quivering lips
You hear me now, my cheeks flush with embarrassment
Your eyes fill with remorse as you see me upset for the first time
I have to go soon
But the thought of not being with you makes my soul cry
I feel my heart break as words from your soft lips are not what I needed to hear
I changed the rules
I know, this isn’t what we both agreed to
But wont you change the rules with me?

…Please
