I hear them calling, she said.

with her open mouth she joined the screaming crowd in her mind.
she wasn't alone now.

I can see them reaching out, she cried!

everyone appeared to be seeking her bursting mind.
she felt it all so deeply,
she was an ocean, flooding over everyone with her pain

they all wonder with danger seeping from their shut eyes.
she devoured them, with every closed lid,
with her broken mind
she pulled out her heart, to be alone
she stopped breathing.

how express, they whispered.
oh, she suffered beautifully they exclaimed.
how admirable.

it was easy for them to go about their day.

*easy.
I stand
In the middle
Of a crowded gym
Noise everywhere

All I ever want is to be alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
But there is nowhere to be alone

So I suffer in silence

Later it is lunch
I sit at my table surrounded by friends
They speak of people
In ways that aren't good
But I am scared of being different

So I suffer in silence

After school I come home
To a house full of people
And all I want is some time to myself
Without being yelled at or scolded

So I suffer in silence
200
They think I suffer
From but one affliction;
But I enjoy it.

Well I hate your cigarettes,
and the men that you go see.
Because one is killing you,
while the other's killing me.

I hate you!
The way you scream your words,
and how you know how much they hurt.
I hate the way you make me feel,
and how your smile is surreal.
I hate the way you hold my hand,
and pretend that you can.
I hate the way you pull my hair,
because I know that you don't care,
about the way you make me feel,
and how your kisses make my squeal.
I hate the way you bite my lip,
and make me cringe when you grab my hip.
I hate when you pull off my clothes,
and make all my worries turn to hopes.
I hate that I love you.
I love you.

And i will spend my entire life making excuses
for you
My whole life telling people you were
perfect
All my days convincing myself
you had your reasons
And my every minute saying
"its okay"

Whatever it takes me to finally forgive
and remind myself once more that
this is the price i must pay
to have you in my life

it;s worth it
it's worth it
take a shot
just swallow it down once more.
after all the lies, you know ill just forgive you again and pretend like nothing happened. Just like every time aye..
