I've done some stupid things
I'll probably never forget
I've told away some secrets
I probably should have kept
I've heard some things I shouldn't
And been filled with regret.

There's no going back
I can't change the past.

I do stupid things when I wake up at night

Like unblocking you on Facebook.

Now I have to wait 48 hours before I can hide again...
And 48 hours may not seem like much.
But it's actually a lot.

Especially considering the strings you used to pull in my heart.

I am so hungry

I think
my
LARGE intestine is eating up my small intestine!

I never dreamed I could know somebody like you
How dare I think I was allowed to breathe what you exhaled?
How dare I believe every touch from you was gold?
They were bronze at best.
I can’t believe I fell for the starry look in your eyes
I knew you were fake.
I knew your heart has long been in cased in a firm block of ice.
The cold didn’t bother me, I guess.
I drank slow to feed the lost boy inside me
New clothes, ****** nose.
Nothing made the ice inside of you thaw out.
I let you leave bruises on my heart and skin
My friends giggled
Why do the bruises from your fingers wrapped around my throat look so much like love bites?
this is about a girl who I dated on and off for 4 years.. I hate you

I like you.

What? *I like you
?!?
No no no.
You can do way better.
That is too vague.
Put some.... pizzazz into it. Like this:

You are incredible.
I find it impressive that you can keep me talking for hours
And it doesn't bother you that I never seem to run out
Of things to say.
I think your hair is beautiful
And I love that you keep everything so simple.
Your smile shines, and I can't help but grin when I see you happy.
Oh, and you give the best hugs.
In short, I like you.
A lot.

...See? A lot better.

Why didn't you say that to her?!? Aaaaahhhh, stupid!
I give up! You're hopeless and you're never going to get her!
This is definitely a terrible, stupid poem. I am trying to give a brief, comical glimpse inside my head when I am talking to a crush of mine. It's stupid, but I wanted to write it, and I hope the experience of writing this poem allows me to perfect my technique and learn to better pursue inspiration. As always, thank you for reading.
