#prettyboy
He makes me feel special, Like my body to him is art. Pretty boy Doesn’t see stretch marks; Pretty boy Sees Tiger, he sees wild and natural. He sees magic in me. He craves me. Pretty boy Tells me things I’ve heard before. I’ve held onto those words before, But it was never like this. My body inhales his sentences and turns them into lightning, Illuminating every cell in my body as if I’m the Sun herself. Pretty boy, You gave light to my soul. You’ve helped me become whole. Pretty boy Says I shouldn’t be insecure; He spun my insecurities into gold And gave me a crown. Pretty boy Says my smile is pretty. Pretty boy Says I’m pretty so many times I’m almost starting to believe it. Pretty boy Wants me. But I can’t tell him I want him back. Pretty boy understands how I feel. Pretty boy Isn’t like the others. Pretty boy Is soft as silk, He’s gentle like running water, And his smile makes the Moon rise Every night to witness it. Pretty boy Doesn’t like smiling; Pretty boy thinks he’s ugly. Pretty boy, You’re pretty. Pretty boy Likes cigarettes and alt music. Pretty boy Likes guitars. Pretty boy is artistic; He makes music and the notes fall in love With him. Pretty boy Is special. Pretty boy Doesn’t know it yet. But, Pretty boy does know I secretly want him too.

Pretty Boy.
You gave me all the pretty words that I needed to hear, But they weren't from you from which I wanted to hear. I fell into your carefully laid trap, I fell into the routine - The routine that I needed Those god **** words that I craved from the very bottom of my soul, You took advantage of my vulnerable mind, And twisted it to what you wanted. Who was I to believe that you had changed, You led me to make some bad decisions, that in the moment I didnt regret, But now, now I do. You were nothing but a pretty face that fed me Lies, Lies that never had any truth behind them. You gave me all the pretty words that I needed to hear, But they weren't from you from which I wanted to hear.

Pretty Words, Bad Decisions
Take me to your doll house Let me see your shelves What is in your drawer What will you not tell? I wish to see the tattered the broken and the flawed I wish to be your keeper Let me through your walls

Pretty Boy
no matter how many times my boyfriend or mother tells me im beautiful or cute, the mirror is which i look at myself in says otherwise. ive heard that, people perceive you differently than you perceive yourself. that if you ever saw a clone of yourself, you wouldn't recognize them as being you. but i am still unworthy of praise, or anything of the sort. everyone lies everyone deceives everyone lies lies lies lies lieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslies

lies
Those eyes Those ****** eyes As much as I hate to admit They give me butterflies If I could I would want you to stop existing I am feeling all these emotions But I swear I'm resisting You're not even the last thing I want Not someone I would trust I have to stop thinking I know that I must Isn't it crazy? To fall for someone who looks like a heartbreak But you make me want you My mind goes numb, my hands shake I guess it's okay To think about you sometimes Just to make myself satisfied I tell my heart all these lies I can see it in your eyes The wilderness speaking for itself The assurance that you can get anything Like a game, without any help I really want you to know Not everyone is easy to buy I don't care how pretty you are If behind my smile, you can't hear me cry You're fire –a beautiful fire And I'm not ready to burn I am more than what you see But I notice, it's none of your concern

You're My Sunflower
pretty boy get off the stage the show is over it's been done and played take off that mask and be yourself and stop trying to be like everybody else nobody is waiting for an encore so why are you? step out of character and be the you we all desire why are you refusing? because the stage is comfortable? well, pretty boy, the world is not a stage the world is streets and aisles where the acting doesn't count nobody wants to be around a facade people want genuine emotions and reactions and the character you chose is not you so pretty boy its time take off the costume and step into your own shoes don't let how you think you need to be seen decide how you act go with your instinct and pretty boy just be you

You called me Gorgeous like it meant something to you. I needed a pick-me-up, and you were it… apparently.

Sarcasm
i fell in love with a boy with dark blonde hair and the most beautiful blue green eyes ive ever seen in my life his smile is so bright that i swear he is a star he is the sun in my galaxy his laugh is as warm homemade chicken noodle soup; so comforting, so nice you could cry maybe it's a stretch to say that i'm in love with the way he cheers up the people around him, taking their hands and leading them into a world where you can feel safe and finally be yourself instead of wearing fake masks of happiness in order to protect those around you from the hurricane you house inside but even years of depression later, a simple five minutes with him makes me feel immeasurable happiness what's his secret? if only jealousy didn't get the best of me i wonder why i lie in bed, daydreaming about a boy i wish i could have but may never have i wonder why i can never collect the courage to just grab his hands or hold his face and kiss him softly i wonder why i'm so afraid of ruining our friendship and telling him how i really feel when i so deeply just want to be his love i wonder what he would say if i asked him to stay in my life forever?
