once had a boyfriend well was he technically that? me thinks not me thinks he just wanted to *** into ma pants and a few other assorted boys used this same line how they would complain entangled in the car hot breath heaving long deep kisses bodies writhing on summer nights and cold winter ones too always squirming away from curiously demanding hands after the zipper between the thighs warm delicious sensations... But WAIT.... what will they say tomorrow? so.... squirming away never giving in to the passion arising high as the sky frustrated... these boys would complain like a little boy not getting their new toy YOU are giving me BLUE ***** really?  is that really a condition? or are you just pulling my proverbial leg? and REALLY it is MY fault? me thinks not... in any event one day it came to say well... if you aren't acquainted with your right hand perhaps now is the time and if you want a little variety use your left and if you are feeling particularly frisky try them both for the menage a trois! it worked perfectly for ME for them well i didn't wait around too long to SEE....

blue *****
It’s only a necklace. It shouldn’t mean much at all, yet it holds everything I can never have, it’s all I can do not to fall. I’m gripping onto the shadows— to the person he left behind. Trying to remember his voice, his smile, to make a picture inside my mind. Is it strange to hate someone you never knew, yet love them all the same? I cannot tell if this is the truth, or if my head is playing games. The photographs of his kids and loving wife make me wonder if he was ever there at all, or if he was just a ghost of self-made fiction— the unknown will become my downfall. The truth is, he has so many others now. A family to call home. So why can’t I just let it go, and go back to my own? It’s just one silly gift. It shouldn’t mean so much to me. But without remembering who I was, how do I know who I’m supposed to be?

The Silver Necklace
It's not your fault if he doesn't say hi as you walk by. It's not your fault if she doesn't seem to know you exist. But it's not their fault either. It's not your fault if you feel too much or nothing at all. And if it gets bad, there's nothing wrong with curling up in a ball. We all need an escape. This is an important one. It is NOT your fault if you get addicted to the drugs or the drink. It's not your fault if you get so stressed, you can't eat, sleep, or think. It's not your fault Because bad things, confusion, sadness, stress, loss, anger...it happens to everyone. It's not a choice.

It's not your fault
The words roll-off your tongue like you've been practising in front of a mirror Don't attempt to humour me Somehow I want you to wear my skin, try it on see how it feels But at the same time I don't wish such a thing on my worst enemy Your jokes always hit home You told each one with a straight face how was I supposed to know whether you meant it or not You find it frustrating just being my guardian imagine the torment I go through each and every day trapped in this skin of mine You can't blame Him, so you blame me It's sickening Youth isn't an excuse it's a scapegoat Please let me be, and grow up

Youth is a scapegoat
