Letting go of you
was the hardest thing I've done
staying there was worse

Seasons change, babe,
Get your winter coat on,
The weather isn't going to bend at your command,
The summer sun hates your weak shine,
The autumn moon despises your crescent smile,
And seasons differ, honey,
Get your head on straight,
Pumpkins are gonna leer,
Get over it, dear,
And snow is gonna fall,
So wrap up, darling, in your knitted shawl,
Seasons change, babe,
Nothings gonna change for you,
Oh, nothing is gonna change,
Seasons are obviously not for you,
Wait for spring, love,
'Coz when push turns to pull,
You'll want to leave seasons behind,
Changing,
Changing forever in your midst.

I pulled us up front row seats to a thunderstorm
You drape around me like a moth, warm like firefly gold

We don't want to put the lighting in a jar
The future is already too close

I'm tracing the lightning in your arms now.
in love with a boy whose never let my feet hit the ground
An anti-gravity belt
A contract without the bad kind of sadness
a nice jacket to sleep in when you're not here so I can sleep better when I sleep alone, with only bad dreams to keep me company

Sometimes your jacket is better than my dreamcatcher

We pretend like the rain will never come
The future is already too close

The thunder sounds like rolling over in bed
And I'm facing you in my sleep
A distant beep of reality pulls us from the subconscious
Startled out of it
We opened our eyes at the same time
For some reason it made me feel like I opened my eyes the first time in my life
Love notes.

We're almost
Too sweet
We're rotten.

We're almost
Too ripe
We're bleeding

We're almost
Too swollen
We're no longer

Whole.

I often get the question 'Who hurt you so badly that you started to hate yourself?' And the answer is no one.

There was no one to hurt me because there was never anyone there.

There was no one there when I was 10 years old and my dad pulled hair out of my mom's scalp,
Or when I was 13 and he choked her in front of me.
There was no one there when I was 13 and I made my first cut,  not know it would be followed by thousands more.
There was no one there at year 16, at 3 am when I had a stomach full of pills wishing I was dead
Or two months ago,  when I was 17 and sexually assaulted and all I wanted was my best friend.
But she was done being the friend of the difficult girl.
And no one was here tonight,  at age 18, when my thighs turned into red, sticky rivers.
No one will be here tomorrow,  or at age 19
Or 23
46
Or 92.
It will always just be me.
