The flowers in my fingers have fallen to the floor
They died without a protest
They died being ignored

The thorns that coat my lips have taught themselves to bite
They nip into your fingertips
Yet you don't seem to mind

My singing voice has deepened, no longer a gorgeous tune
But yet you seem to ask for more
You and only you

My hair is only wild when I step out of a tub
But you remove my hair tie
And all that work is gone

My short hair that I was nervous about, you never said a word
It pains me to look in the mirror
Yet none exist in your world

A compilation of dull colors you say?
I see a rainbow, a dazzling array
Of hidden oranges and sparkling greens

*why do i need you to love me?

Panic attacks
Stress snacks
Calloused fingers
Harsh dreamers

Socks high
Bruised thighs
Crossed legs
Large cages

Torn lips
Secret slips
Puffy skin
Who will win?

Depressing talks
Less walks
No air
But who cares?

Most people fall for blue
Like the sky fell in those eyes
But I fall for brown
Because they're so down to earth
Almost as much as you
Just like I like you
Or love you, should I say
A first love that has stayed since day one
And hopefully stays until there are no more days
And everything simply is done

You say I can tell you anything
But you know I'd rather not
Because the fear of losing you is worse than
All the troubles that I've got

I don't want you to believe
That I'm incapable of love
Because it's the only reason I cry anymore
From sane down below to broken above

And I don't want you to know
That every breath hurts now
I don't want you to see
That I cry every day and how

Because you'll leave like the rest
And I know that sounds rude
To assume that you'll be gone
But we both know it's the truth

It feels so much like a game
And the prize is so sweet
Every gaze that is held
Every brief little meet

I don't know what you've done
But I beg you, don't stop
If feels like the world is at a stand still
And I'm standing at the top

The stars are twinkling for me
The moon winks through her phases
I feel like I need more time
I need to meet these new faces

So I'll think more about you
And what I could lose
So I don't take advantage
And start things off with bad news

Live with yourself
Knowing you laugh by yourself
Making you all by yourself
Refusing the care of anybody else

Live with yourself
Knowing we grow and you don't know us
You made us and you gave all to us
But we're strangers just like everyone else

Live with yourself
Knowing that you've pushed me away
I've tried to help, tried to get you to stay
But you're dead set on getting your way

Live with yourself*
Knowing you've made me cry for somebody else
Knowing that your knowledge is your own
Learning that this isn't a home

I don't know what I'm writing
It seems all jumbled and such
I feel like I'm faking
Like my words aren't enough

But I know that I'm not
The second the words are down
I can't help but feel phony
There are worse things around

What's the worst that could happen
What have I to be sad of
Nothing should stop me
I should be full of love

But why do I feel
Like these words are the truth
All until I click "Save Poem"
Is it because of you?

*No, that's ridiculous, right?
