I said
I just don't believe in words like '*****'
You said
*see that's just the problem with our world
No one seems to believe in themselves anymore

four nights
scars on my heart
tears down my cheeks
blood on my wrists

four days
words spitting from your mouth
punches escaping your fist
death reeking from your skin

four letters
carved into the side of my car
haunting my mind
creating your name

four failed attempts*
rope on a hook
gun to my head
all because of you
Roses are red
the sky is blue
I can't stop smiling
because I'm thinking of you
grabbing my waist
your right hand caressing my elephant tattoo
leaning in to kiss my lips
I love the way you taste
you're the only one I miss
cause I love
oh, yes that's true
there is no truer love
than the love I have for you
<3

i don't know what to do
he wants me
i want him
too
but
is it right
or
good
for both of us
this kinda love
isn't just something
to play with
*******
is serious
and no one takes it that way
anymore
i don't need one more thing
to be attached to

if you do anything
four thousand times over
it will start to get
boring

like
***

but what about
breathing?

facebook messages
blinking at me
angrily
read me
they say
say something back
they scream
but i don't want to talk to
any of you
mostly because
i don't know
what to do
about anything
anymore
stop asking
me

tonight i
lost it a little
and it's not even night
it's morning
just to be clear

start over...

this MORNING
i
lost it a little
and i don't know
how to be better

i talked at a white shining light
on my computer
i vented
at a webcam
for thirty minutes
and i looked myself in the face
and tried to tell me it'd be alright
but the words choked me
and i couldn't
get them out

and im not trying to be an overdramatic
*******
a whiner
or a ****** kid
i just have abandonment issues
and cutting
and wantingtodietoomuch
issues
and i feel like everyone is biding their time
waiting
to leave me
and i feel like
i can't sew up the child-sized holes
in my dad's heart

and it's ******* father's day
and i can't even do that
i can't ******* replace
the nine other kids
that should be here
i can't make up for that
i am just
one person
one daughter
and i cannot make my daddy
better
and i
hate
it

happy
*******
father's day
i can't make anything better. i can't even make me better. but i have to stick this **** out so my family isn't destroyed again.
