I had cigarettes
and diet coke for lunch
because Speedway was out
of pizza and
half an hour is not
enough time to wait in
line in this town.
I have too many hours
until I get to go home
and all I want to do is smoke ****.
A sandwich would be nice too.

I know I said I'm  done writing about him, but he was in my dreams
all night.  Even then, we didn't talk or touch but he was always there behind me.
I woke up when I  saw him looking at me,
and for a second as I took my first few breaths of the morning,
I could feel him.
My heart is bleeding, I think I can actually feel it, and it hurts.
Heart break sounds so beautiful,
but it feels like dying.

I know you can love two people at the same time. I know it because I've felt it.

I gave myself some
friendly advice,
and said how lucky
I am, I have everything
I've ever wanted.
So why do I want to live
in the past,
when things weren't as
good as they are now.
I am awesome and fun,
and beautiful.
So why do I feel like
I need him to prove it.
I have someone that loves me
like someone is supposed to.
I have a great job and
I'm finally moved out.
I have money and I take care
of myself.
My car runs,
and I've made it really far
on my own.

Today I am proud of myself.
And I'm going to be happy.

I'm not going to
give you any more
room in my future book.
I'm not going to let you
be the only thing that
helps me write.
Or makes me happy,
or makes me feel beautiful,
and young and hopeful.
Because I'm all of those
things,
and you haven't been
there the whole time.

So,

I'll be fine.

I shouldn't have
pried on something
that I didn't want
to know the answer to.

But now all of my questions
have conclusions
and I wish they
were still up in the

I feel a bit empty,
because today should be
the day I go back to
school.
Instead I'm sitting
in the parking lot at work,
because I lost my
financial aid.
To be honest,
I don't know what to do
next.
I'm kind of waiting
on the universe to give
me a sign.

I am my worst
critic.
My writing will
never be good enough
because I can't
write about things
that make me happy.
I will never be beautiful
enough because I am
missing a patch of hair.

I was all macho
about not caring
anymore..
Until I unexpectedly
saw him today.
It feels like the universe
wanted me to see how
happy he is,
what I missed out on.
I was pulling out of
Speedway to come see
my boyfriend, (who is late)
and there he was,
driving by me in a
truck,
on the passenger side
with his arm out
the window,
and a smile on his face.
He didn't even see me.
I was paralyzed.
The whole way to my
boyfriends I cried
and yelled at no one,
begging for an answer
as to why I just saw the
one person I never wanted
to see again.

I'm just gonna hope
that sometimes things
happen for no reason..

All that I have left
to say to you
is good riddance.
*******
******* ******* and one more
*******.

I had so much respect
for you that even when we
weren't "friends"
I gave you the chance for
closure,
to tell me how you feel
one last time,
so that you didn't have to
feel this weight until
the day you die.

But you didn't even respond
when I did the same thing.
Or tried to.
So I will have to live
with these unanswered questions
and botched memories
of the boy I used to know.

Because you are not him.
If all I am is **** on the bottom
of your boots,
then join the club
and
walk alone.

Let me get one thing
straight.
If I was to leave him
it wouldn't be because
we don't have *** enough.
It would be because
I don't deserve to feel the
way i do right now.
I deserve someone who
thinks the sun won't rise
tomorrow if I'm not there,
that everything about me
is beautiful,
the way I pull out my hair,
and say my name.
Someone who can't take their
eyes off me even when I'm just
changing my pants in front of him.
I will not settle for
second best,
when I know what
it's like to be someone's
world.
I don't want money,
or to be taken out
on dates,
I just want someone
who can't see anyone
else when I walk in
the room.

My sunshine understands.

So why can't he?
