her hair shines like the sea glimmering in the sun
flawless, radiant skin with a beaming smile
her eyes are like a trap, once you're reeled in all you can do is stare in awe
how i wish i could be her

boys treat her with respect, that's for sure
effortlessly gorgeous they say, even when she wakes up in the morning
she's the girl who everyone stops to stare at
how i wish i could be her

i see the way they talk about her
the respect and humility they have whenever they're in her presence
especially the way he looks at her, for some reason i envy
how i wish i could be her

she calls herself ugly
but i never will understand why
she's perfect in every way
oh how i wish i could be her
a best friend who doesn't know how jealous i am of her, the thing is i will never compare to her beauty. next to her i will always be the ugly best friend

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, you can bleed without a shed of a drop of blood:}


in surrender to the real

a shirt is torn a cut was named a deal

for the release to greed then the skins to bleed

I draw you margins a put test to bend to kneel

to the torment in the heat you shoot to feel

in there where I see

no one has a view but me

your veins of pure temper dripping in jealousy

raise in no empathy

Must you hold them the way you do?
Your arm around their shoulder, your hand around their waist.
Their big eyes staring into yours, I'm envious.
At this dance watching you two sway happily in love, creates a burning in my stomach.
But i will continue to dance, but not with you, for you have found your happiness in them, while i silently reside.
As time goes on , so do you.
You found yourself with them, so you don’t need me anymore like I need you.
I catch myself staring, staring hard, they’re such an angel , aren’t they?
I could never hate them, because it's not their fault, but then again,
I find myself wishing they were dead.
How could you choose them over me?
Haven’t I always been  the one closest to you?
Haven’t i always been there with you,
through thunder and lightning i stayed by your side,
and you still chose them, over me.
Which is why you caught me with my hands around their neck,
blood rolling down my cheek, and then a subtle drip drip coming from the tips of their  pale fingers.
I've always loved you, there was no other solution.
You asked me why I did this?
Because you were kind, when I needed it the most, for the longest time you were kind.
Oh dear, why did you have to choose them?
You could have made this a lot easier than it had to be.
Your smile has always been too much for me.
Seeing it with someone who isn’t me is new.
Just know, I will always be waiting in the strawberry fields, forever alone, the sky staring back at me.
Jealousy
A powerful, slow curse
"It's in your head"
Mumbling truths...I rehearse
I religiously chant my lines
but it gets worse
Obsession, you are mine
in this entire universe

I get lonely, I forget my worth
I get lonely, I pretend it could be worse
I get lonely, I burn me to keep you warm
I get lonely, I hate that you are truly happy

I got mad at you
for not remembering my birthday
though your head was full of thoughts
of bills and bitter family issues
and I knew

Half-way through
I realised I wasn't angry
and I stopped talking
because I wasn't mad at you
I was mad at myself
Jealousy was tearing my mind to pieces
and was yelling at me "He never forgets her"
"Guess you aren't that important"
"Finally, you notice how little time
you spend on his mind"
And I got silent
even though I knew
you would worry that I was mad
and i knew

Today you brought me pastries
and made me blow out candles
made me feel loved
happy
not so much alone
But then again
I knew
how you care
how you love
how you're there
even when you aren't

And I knew then
and I know now
that I am happy
just being your friend
'Cause I've never loved someone as much as I love you
A double-edged sword,
so pure,
jealous
and evil,
meant to comfort all that wield it,
All bow to it,
all long for it,
all perish in its wake.
Love is a weapon
