Don't give me butterflies if you're just going to rip off their wings

Camera

I try to be the person to take the photo,

I don't want to be looked at,

I don't want to be remembered,

I like to imagine everyone smiling at me and not the camera.

Heartbeat

My heartbeat is a dreadful knocking, as if the devil himself demands entry.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I try.
I'm sorry I care too much.
I'm sorry I get too attached.
I'm sorry I put in too much effort.

I'm sorry I can't be who you want me to be.

Her

When you kiss her your hands wrap softly around her neck, but it just feels like your hands are gripping my neck tightly and twisting.

Piano

Teeth made entirely of piano keys, mouth gaped open; as if waiting for someone to pound them in.

Like a warm embrace.

Distance

You told me "distance makes the heart grow fonder" but now I realize that was a lie, it should have read "distance makes the heart wander"
