Did a stranger ever think I was pretty? Or a child admire my smile? Or do they sigh in pity as they walk through the city, Because I haven't laughed in a while? Did a girl ever like my blue sweater, Or a boy ever blush and go slow? Or do they mention the weather as they share looks together, Because they know what the sleeves hide below? Do they see the dark and the worry Or the carefully constructed facade? "She's fine, surely," as by me they hurry, By my mask painstakingly made. Did a stranger ever think I was pretty?

Did a stranger ever think I was pretty?
I love you In a way that would worry a therapist The kind of love that would thrill a poet Love that would crumble kingdoms I love you In a way that would worry a therapist When I speak of you All others hear is me boasting A speech worth toasting Some say its smothering Toxic love bombing Manipulation rooting Blooming in too vulnerability Boarding on codependency I love you The kind of love that would thrill a poet Words can never describe Rhymes are the closest Doing my best to do it all justice How I want it to be just us Able to dance in the kitchen See a sun set with Knowing you'll be by my side When the sun rises Worlds apart With you it’s a fresh start I love you Love that would crumble kingdoms I would burn empires Just to see your eyes light up Ignite a spark inside Bringing you to the dark side Like an executioner with his blade I get the final say This is no play Bodies lay scattered Peoples minds shattered Heads roll While me and you walk away Never to stray Ready to see the next crown fall

And if you call my name, I'll be there even if it takes me years. You don't understand what you mean to me So why don't you understand, What do you mean, and don't you mean? I will always be there, even if it's between heaven and hell Even if you don't see me, I'll be there I love you more than anything, What does 'I love you' even mean It's a word, not a cure, words only words. So why do people say it? It's more than words for some people its more than words for me! I love you and I always will more than my life, more than myself. And you might not understand what it means to me But it means a lot more than anything And I don't say it for fun I love you, and I'll always be there I want to be a person you can come to a person you can laugh with, a person you can cry to So you don't have to leave crying when I go laugh, laugh at all the good times we had, remember me when I'm gone, I love you so much. So call me, I'll come I'll never leave you. I don't care how long it takes. I will never leave, even if you hate me Or if you want me to go i wont i love you so much more than you'll even know

this is for someone else
the night is silent and you are screaming in my ear but i am thinking of someone else she lies awake too in the dark and she says no one loves her; i guess i'll be nobody for you the dark is screeching and seething and her hand reaches over to the drawer next to me and says pick up the razor you deserve it you deserve it you deserve it why don't you hurt like you've hurt everyone else hours later i read your poems so it must be five am here and oh my god, i wish i could be someone for you; yes i know it hurts to be something if you ever stop for a second my love if you stop spinning and realize you are glorious; if you ever stop i hope you also realize you never ruined me you probably saved me and you deserve a lot better than another girl who leaves

only for you
everyone has a song our song isn't the same our song is quiet our song can sometimes be loud our song is messages at 1am in the morning our song is writing poems back and fourth our song is pretending were fine when were not our song is separate music accounts out song is shared Pinterest boards our song is shared canva projects our song is pushing conversations too far because we don't know what to say our song is probably mostly sung by me but our song is when you have those few lines it sounds beautiful our song is sharing the darkness our song is sharing the light our song is everything you hear in the night our song is secret messages typed on my chrombook our song is sitting upstairs on your laptop so your parents wont see our song is realizing your not completely alone our song is echos that someone is going through the same things you are our song is missed assignments due to talking our song is shared music tastes our song is arguments over if your pretty or not our song is filled with love but our song is also filled with pain our song is a melody I cant stop playing our song is a beat if I pause I'll be broken our song is everything to me our song makes me happy love please don't let the verse end to our song

midnight you shine so bright on the darkest of nights your messages light up my screen when I feel like I'm nowhere to be seen because of you I'm one day clean I wish I could hug you miles apart no matter what happens you remain in my heart I may have just met you but you helped me in many ways ways most people haven't been able to help in the last hundred days if I leave just know this please I love you so much like the flowers love the trees

ruination
for some reason it's so much more than when my other best friend left when i ended it with her when i said **** you but there were tears in my eyes it hurts so much more to watch you write checking your profile every hour and seeing you cry it kills me to think that i'm just sitting here in my big *** house and you might be alone perhaps i'm a sensitive person, yes but you in particular; honestly there hasn't been anyone like you in well a long time love i'm sorry i couldn't do anything

fireflies
perhaps you instinctively knew or something or shared my common opinion mondays are certainly the worst or maybe thursdays but that's irrelevant i was sitting in third period science; you sent me a poem and my friend across the desk; she says why are you smiling like that oh god, she has no ******* idea so i told her it was nothing but it was anything but nothing

the twenty-fifth
i would say i don't have to name you but you would say no that can't be me but of course it is you gia and willow and ash and midnight and nikrosewood and reece and leya and jax and kai and whoever i forgot sorry reading your words and messaging on pinterest at night and complaining about the new website it's kind of strange since not a lot of things make me feel like this but you always have; you may feel very small but you are all so important you are someone to stay for
