She told me what she wanted
And I thought
I know what she actually wants...
She told me what she needed
And I thought
I know what she truly needs...
She told me what she thought
And I thought
I know what she's really thinking...
She told me I took her for granted
And I thought
I know her, that's not taking her for granted...

like the classical
artists and musicians
never in my time
spent with my
art

To stand on a glass floor
And hear the crack of the ground
To sing your favorite song
And not to hear a sound
To greet a person you love
And have them ask you for your name
To think another an equal
And learn you're a piece in their game
To open you eyes wide
And not to see the light
To walk away from a problem
And later learn that wrong was right
To leave a loved one angry
And remember it was your last look
To discover an object's value
And be too late to return what you took

this heart of mine
grows simultaneously
weaker and stronger,
you see,
every time I try to
explain myself,
it flourishes,
but when
my voice is taken
for granted,
it withers away.

Option
Why do I have to be an option?
I set you as my priority
yet I’m not even in your important list.
Sensitive
Why can’t you be more sensitive?
I always put your feelings first before anything
yet you only think about yours.
Understand
Why do I always have to be the one who understands?
You do me wrong.
yet I don’t feel any sincerity in your sorry.
Apologize
Why do you say it when you never mean your sorry?
You say sorry
yet you do it all over again.
You always take my kindness for granted. But sooner or later, this soft heart will be for someone else and all what’s left for you? Your regrets.

Finally;
They finally learned how to love me;
I can now feel them care and worry;
And see them giving me attention—how merry!
Some gave me thanks, while some kept saying sorry;
Why do you aplogize, dear crony?
You never did anything faulty
Can't you see? I'm finally happy.
For I can now feel their love for me
As I lie in this coffin, lifeless, and devoid of any vitality;
One by one, they walked in just to see my body
Now I feel like a famous celebrity.
The corners of my lips curled up; smiling bitterly
Wanting to shout and scream so loudly
Why didn't you tell me those words that might have made me happy
When I was still living in this world full of negativity?
But I do know the answer, honestly;
For regret is stronger than any emotionality
Oh, look how much they regret their insensibility
As they lost me, yet learned to love me—finally.

just like popcorn -
those soft, incredible clouds
appearing from what
once was
solid,
golden,
rock -
my thoughts are formed.
out of nowhere,
another pops into my mind,
joining it's fellow corns,
only to later
be consumed,
rearranged,
and discarded
by people who
*aren't
even
me.*

after all those years
chasing people and hopeless dreams
falling in love with boys
who weren't meant to be
I've convinced myself
things aren't always what they seem
I see six, you see nine
i see black, you see white
I've built walls high above the ground
And I've let them turn it down
and i kept chasing and chasing
hoping they'd finally face me
embrace me and my flaws
but no..
they drew their claws
slashing and gashing.
with gnashing jaws
i shut myself away
away from monsters
who embody my sanity
and I convinced myself
maybe i dont need people.

Before you call me patient, maybe step in a little closer;
continue your inspection.
What you'll find is this: my tolerance stems more from letting people trample over me
than from any conscious effort to be kind,
so take caution.
You've become so casual in your continuous disrespect; it's building a
fire of aggravation.
I didn't love myself and I didn't believe I deserved to,
but I'm learning - and I still have a tremendous distance to go - that I am worth much more than
my previous prediction.
Moving on from you seems so foreign. Your loss would be the weirdest mixture;
an excited lamentation.
All I hope is that you benefitted from my so-called patience
and that the world I showed you was a step up from reality - almost like a
temporary life promotion.

Quick to forgive,
Slow to heal,
All I wanted,
Was something real,
I give my all,
And ask for nothing in return,
Is it any wonder why,
I slowly smolder and burn?

She gave more than she should.
She gave all that she could,
But to him it was nothing,
When she gave her everything.

I remember the times I was wasted on alcohol,
and you chose to help me stand up.
I remember we'd always drink tea in the fall,
and you'd make it in my favorite cup.
But then, one morning it was all gone.
You said you were feeling so done,
and you decided to leave by dawn.
That was when the hurt begun
I blamed myself constantly,
saying I never gave you enough.
I should've loved you cautiously.
I shouldn't have acted so tough.

To the princess trapped in the glass bottle.
Take a few steps back, I'm going to bust the glass and catch you before you fall.
If all else fails, at least we'll have this memory to stand above all else.
I've walked passed you once before,
I never thought to stop.
Reason,
Your lips turned up right, eyes quick to roll.
The silent treatment of turned backs. Ill gotten tempers.
I never once thought through all the complications that the glass was actually dingy.
That you actually could have been tired of being passed up because of how high up you were, the trouble of broken glass.
Jagged grooves. Smooth binges, blind understatements.
I applogize on my behalf,
The labels aren't anywhere as good as they use to be. but I promise.
If you make that silly face one more time.
That one face that equates to "duh"
I'm throwing this rock right at your head.
If you were anymore transparent, I could swear you just rolled your eyes again

I love you
she told you
you just smiled
never said a word
I love you
she's in love with you
you hugged her
said thank you
I love you
she cried
you wiped her tears
everything's gonna be fine
I love you
she had her make up on
you held her hand
and walked
I love you
she wore a dress
you touched her hair
said let's go
I love you
she wrote on a letter
you kept it
hid it under your bed
I love you
she waited for you
you had her
but not with her
I love you
said you love her too
it's too late
she loves herself more

I gave you all I had.
When you were sad, I gave you my happiness. When you were weak, I gave you my strength. When you had nobody, I was your friend. When you were unloved, I loved you. Not a single 'thanks' was even said through your mouth.
Now that you have everything I have given, I have nothing. I became nothing. So, you go to other people to enjoy life, be free, give them what you have, and suddenly, they ruin you. Then, you come to me asking for help. And I reply, "I gave you all I had."
