Let your agony sail on a paper boat;
Wind will be its captain.
Allow it to drift far, far away
until it sinks into the depth
of sunken emotions.
Pain lingers only when we feed it, let it sink and let it go.
Remember, remember
the fourth of May
when what felt like a year
only lasted a day
when the smoke and the honesty
tickled my neck
all the song in your laughter
I'll never forget

Remember embraces,
pacing the floor
'I love you too' before closing the door
knowing the world would all be put right
because we were both feeling together that night

Remember kisses at 3 in the morning
and the tightest of hugs through the loudest of yawning
feeling I'd hate to be anywhere else
than there
in the dark
just you and myself

Remember, remember
and don't forget me
when you're out in the world and there's so much to see
but remember that what you were seeing that day
was someone that said
it would all be okay
digging out old ones from my journal since I've neglected my writing duties- sorry
-

Another
   lonely day
  without you
     finds me
  shaking my
     fists at
        a clock
     with tired
              *arms
do you like it when i crave attention?
is this what you want?
do you purposefully ignore me in hopes that i crawl to your feet begging for acknowledgement?
do you go to bed thinking of ways to neglect me further?
how is it that with everything i do, i'm never good enough to bring up in conversation?
should i starve myself in hopes that you notice me?
does failing a class get your attention?
will you talk to me if i try to end my life?
will i ever be good enough for you?
will you ever tell me if i am? can you spare the heart ache now and let me leave?
how many nights will i go on thinking of ways to push myself farther into your peripheral view so that i am in focus?
i hate bringing attention to myself but i cannot stand being ignored. i got home from my musical (which my parents saw me perform in) and they said nothing about how i did they told me how wonderful everyone else did and then went to bed and left me alone with my 4 hours of homework. this is for you jared and patty.
