***** Looks Like Water
the art of smooth handwriting eludes me & i scribble silent letters distracted by boldly loud ones onto the lines of a page, emotions and confessions i will turn in for class, my heart out, & where the teacher will ultimately return it, confusion marked on the pages in red ink and my thoughts will be half understood half appreciated and half loved; characterized by nothing more than luck, who chose, blindfolded which thoughts deserved to be seen and which ones would be lost in translation, from my head to the paper existing clearly in my mind yet appearing as hieroglyphics- and i have yet to find my rosetta stone

Least we fall, let it be on to a ****** we dislike to cusion our descent. . And may we smile, while they wince in regrettable pain. Whoops did my foot accidently tread upon your private property.. Well least you remember that ones fall is another's pain. And another's **** you...

Falling softly
I tear the skin off of my lips And then I can taste the salty blood. My mother says to me, "Annie! Stop!" But I ignore her. And I chew away. She asks me, "Annie!! Why do you do that!? It freaks me out!!" Maybe I think that my lips will disintegrate. That maybe I will just End up eating them away. No. That's too strange. Maybe I think that they need to be smoother, Just in case, And that any jagged bits of skin poking up needs to be ripped off Like a bandaid. No. I'm too shy to kiss anyone. Maybe I just love the sting Of exposed skin. I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I've become desensitized to that sting. My answer, Mom, is that I don't know. I couldn't tell you even if I tried.

Couldn't Tell You
The smell of you is on my sheets There’s ***** on the wall Three empty bottles near my feet I think I drank them all Awoke to find you here Though I truly can’t recall The night before unclear Did we **** or have a brawl? Please wake up and leave I’ll walk you down the hall Feel like I’m going to heave And you’ll probably never call.

why
I think sometimes my thoughts are hijacked by a ventriloquist hiding within me. as words that were only syllables speak out of context yet I know I didn't wish to say it like that or did I really? I'm misinterpreted because I say it as it is, I blame it on the ventriloquist sulking within. Freeing words expelled over distance. My mouth closed but words heard escaping out. Then I speak, I don't really care, I say it as it is...

"they have no one to blame but themselves" is a common phrase too common, too dismissive it acts as a haze a haze that masks the truth that truth that maybe there is someone to blame that someone is the one who committed the ******* act in the first place. "They were drunk and vulnerable, they should have expected **** Or maybe the heartless ******* shouldn't have broken trust in the first place. "Drugs are terrible, they should have stopped before someone died" Addiction is a disease, a plague, blame the disease not the transmission. "They could've done this, they should've done that" A victim should never double as the suspect. So don't go pointing fingers in situations you don't understand.

It is harder than you think, To walk the halls, And hear people talk about, That one person. It is harder than you think, To make eye contact in the halls, With your ****** Who thought he had the right..

You Might Understand
it's just fun now. for some reason this boy always knows what to say to get you hooked. this time you aren't actually hooked on him though. because this time he has made no promises like he did before. you are thankful because he never keeps them anyways. last night he said his usual line. "there is just something about you." you are confused but know not to take it to heart. lately you've learned to not take anything to heart. it's okay. you wish it wasn't like that. but it is. this time you told him that it would be casual. the sound of his breath on your neck reminds you of an old piece you wrote when you didn't know. but now you do. and so does he. he makes you feel good. he never breaks eye contact. he revs his engine when he drops you off because you told him that's what boys do when they think a girl is hot. he makes you want to roll your eyes and smile afterwards. he doesn't talk about the grey house with lemonade or the roller coaster hill or the fact that he once said he thought he was in love with you. but it's okay because he let you steal his sweatshirt and still kisses you goodnight afterwards when he walks you to your car.

I self harm the way some people play the lotto. Not every day, or even once a week, but when I end up on a winning streak I can't stop. I keep feeling like one of these days I'll get lucky.

Lotto of Life (TW)
Everyone can see I'm still not over you. I tried to be. I dated another boy, let him in. Told him all my secrets and tried to love him. Yet, every time we fought, my first thought was always, "you would have understood." It's been 463 days since we went out separate ways. You "accidentally" dated a carbon copy of me, who was less depressed and more confident. It took us over a year to see be able to be in the same room together. It wasn't awkward- it was nice. Until I realized my nails were in palms, so I didn't touch you. I felt you radiate heat and wanted nothing more than to curl up in your lap. So I guess they're right, I'm not over you. But it takes two to tango.

It Takes Two
Lady go, Lady go, Lady go now Something must be wrong Lady go, Lady go, Lady go now You been here way too long. I saw you sittin’ at the bar So I bought you just one beer I still don’t know who you really are But now you’re livin’ here. That night that you came home with me I thought you were low on luck, You said you needed company, And could sure use eighty bucks. Now you been eatin’ all my food “Borrowing” money too, I don’t want to be mean or rude But I’ve had enough of you. You tell me I’m your closest friend They’ll be good times ahead, You put hearts on every note you send, Every night you share my bed. But everyday you sneak away And I don’t know where you go It’s like an Oscar Wilde play. And I don’t enjoy the show. You leave long before I go to work You’re gone till late at night Like shadows in the sunlight lurk, Lady, something just ain’t right. Guess I sold my soul for company And late night romps in bed But I’m not sure you're that into me From a couple things you said: First, you called me Joe, ( - my name is Tom) As you showered me with praise, But then you really dropped the bomb, When you said, “Joe, I need a raise.” Lady go, Lady go, Lady go now Something went all wrong Lady go, Lady go, Lady go now You been here way too long.

Lady, Go Now
I love the way you tell me That I'm beautiful I love the way you tell me That I'm yours I love the way you tell me That you don't want anyone but me You make me happy And everyone deserves to be happy You say you love me And I smile You say you care And I know it's true I guess it's too bad That I've never felt that way about you

Whoops
I seem to have slipped, My mind has missed a beat, For what happened today, Was quite a simple feat. The odd pairs of fandoms Are not spoken of, at best Alas, I love one of them, But should have given it a rest. The pair went into my grade, A short story that I wrote. It was all nice and dandy, Until I almost had a stroke. My teacher saw my ship, And looked at my confusedly. All I knew to do, Was apologize profusely. She didn't quite understand it, But grade still turned out well. Ah well, it's not horrible, But class may now be hell. If you ship an odd couple, Do not let it show, Because fandom and reality are quite different, Trust me--I should know.

So I'm a succubus, am I? I doubt that. You tell me that you can't resist. I doubt that. You tell me you love me. I doubt that. If I were a succubus, where's my tail? Exactly. If you couldn't resist, why did you leave? Exactly. If you loved me, why are you with her? Exactly. I'm smarter than you think. You left. I know what love is. You left. I know what it is to lose control. You left. I know how it is to be human. And You left.
