I took a
leap
of faith asking
Ian
to hang-out with
me,
and even though
he
didn't want me
back
it was worthwhile
because
I love him
still.

When large crowds
are
packed into tiny
spaces
I feel like
everybody
else is *******
up
all of the
oxygen,

and I can't
breathe.

I can't
wear
a fake
smile
on my
face
just to
pretend
that I'm
happy.

I slept in this
morning
because after a week
of
getting up early for
work
I finally don’t have
anywhere
else to be right
now.

The milk turned
sour
I don't know
why,
these things are
just
out of my
control.

Today after
work
I was
stuck
waiting on
you
at the
store
for an
hour,

that's why
I'm
learning to
drive
so I'll
have
my own
ride.

Remember when we said,
"I love you."
and meant it?
I think I need
to hear it
one more time.
Take a deep breath,
tug at the heartstrings,
and let the words roll off your tongue,
"I love you."
and I will reply with all sincerity,
"I love you, too."

I've got
such
a short
fuse
getting off
work
that I
act
grumpy around
others.

I'm just happy that
you survived the surgery,
and are still alive.

What should I do
with my life?
I don't know,
wish I did.
I'm like a little kid
in a toy store
who can't pick out
what he wants.
So many options
and so little time,
hope I decide
before its too late.

My hair is
turning gray
one strand
at a time,
I'm getting
older,
and soon
I’ll be
a silver fox.

There's nothing quite
like
a fresh bed-sheet
out
of the dryer
spread
across my mattress
that
gives me the
feeling
of a goodnight's
sleep.

I waited for
you
to text me
back,
and checked my
phone
all night long;
till
I passed out
cold.

I tried applying
mascara
for the first
time,
and I smudged
black
goop on my
eyelids;
looking like a
mess
I wiped it
off.

Today an old
curmudgeon
talked my ear
off
for five minutes
straight
and I was
obliged
to listen to
her.

You're not
just
a person
that
I work
with
but a
friend
that I
spend
my life
beside.

The highest phrase
in the English language:
"It's ok. "

During our phone
call
I failed to
help
you feel any
better
because I was
still
focused entirely on
myself;

furthermore, I'll be
more
attentive to your
needs.

I found the
*******
hidden underneath your
hat,

I'm sad to
know
that you're using
again.

I had this
dream
you beat me
up
it felt so
real
it’s like I
was
dreaming but wasn’t
asleep;
I am still
scared
of you hurting
me.

I had to
send
you away from
me
for a little
while
so that I
could
get my life
together.

There's no sweeter
sound than summer rain falling
on top of my roof.

In my dream
you
were the only
person
who stuck by
me
when all those
fake
friends left us
behind,

so much loyalty
made
me break into
tears.

She was teasing
me
because of the
way
that I dress
outside
and she hit
one
of my sore
spots;

still hurts to
touch.

Talking on the
phone
with her today
fulfilled
my need of
socializing
for this whole
afternoon.

At work
today
you reduced
me
to nervous
laughter
by driving
up
out the
blue
as a
surprise.

I had a
nightmare
that my papa  
died,

then I awoke
with
tears in my
eyes,

because I realized
he
won't be alive
forever.

I didn't finish
anything
on my to-do
list
because I was
wasting
time falling asleep
again;

I feel quite
irresponsible.

I cried when the
boy
and girl fell in
love
during the film because
they
reminded me of our
story.

I'm going to
rinse
my mouth with
warm
salt water every
two
hours for a
few
days till my
swollen
gums start to
heal;

I'll do it
because
it's Grandma's home
remedy.

Today my
Mother
apologized to
me
for no
reason,
and now
I'm
feeling sorry
she
felt that
way.

I know you
dye
your hair bright
red,
so nobody will
see
that you've gone
gray;

don't worry your
secret
is safe with
me.

I shut my
eyes
for what I
thought
would be a
minute
and slept all
day;

I needed some
rest
that's what my
body
is trying to
say.

I forgot my
earbuds
getting ready for
work,
now I’m panicking
because
music was my
only
defense against this
place.

Went pale when I saw
Angie's face because it was
like seeing a ghost.

I've been
placing
too much
pressure
on my
shoulders,
and I
can't
carry it
anymore.

I love cloudy days,

filled with rain.

When all things

wash away.

I cut myself
shaving
I'm sticking paper
towels
up my nostril
to
stop the blood
from
dripping down my
face
now I'm going
to
bleed all night
long;

my face looks
like
a real ******
massacre.

Her smile greets me
as
I walk through the
door
to work in the
morning
and makes me feel
like
I can face the
day.

When I couldn't
pay
for my groceries
Grandma
loaned her debit
card
and paid for
me.

I'll hop on a
train
traveling hundreds of miles
away
to the northern country
so
I can meet you
again.

We spoke
over
the phone
for
two hours,
but
I didn't
speak
one honest
word
during our
conversation.

When I'm tired,
I have few words to speak.
So instead I pick up the pen
and bleed unto the blank page.

I eat my
feelings
when I feel
upset
that's why I've
gained
so much weight
recently.

We only
talk
to each
other
through text
messages
on our
phones.

I'm grateful
for
the heartbreak
because
it showed
me
we're not
meant
to be
together.

I can't sleep tonight,
(Hoping)that she's,
Somewhere out there(waiting),
For our destinies,
To merge into one.

Don’t force
affection
from someone
who
doesn’t love
you
they’ll never
change.

I need to
stop
lashing out at
people
when I feel
hurt,
because inflicting that
pain
won't heal my
wounds.

My mom tells
me
to not be
so
******* myself;
when
will I finally
listen?
