It's Always Been You
"Come on, no goodbye kiss?", you said while I almost slapped your cute face.
"Oh...do you love him?", you texted me while I quietly said no.
Loving you is a difficult thing to do.
Living is even harder without you.
No one will be you...have fun in the Navy...
It's always been you, I always come back to you for a reason but I don't want to say I love you.

Navy Girl, You Look So Sad
I knew what was coming but I let myself forget. You enlisted and I tried not being upset...but every time we got together you just...
We text and it's a game we play of who cares less and you always win. I want to see myself through your eyes, am I the stupid girl I think I am? In two days you're gone but you'll visit, you just won't visit me...
Will you think of me while you fly those planes?
Will I be the girl who waits for her guy to come back after boot camp?
No, because you're not mine.
But I will always belong to you.
Every time you're here,...

Don't Let Me Die
I have this fear,
irrational you might say
that I will die one day
Not years from now,
but in the days to come.
I'll bleed my last blood
and not be judged
This fear I tell you
It's quite uncommon
Everyone lives until they hear him calling...
So I'm actually scared to death that I'm going to die the next few days...
Or maybe I'm scared my writing will die with me.

My Neighbors Are Complaining About My Music
I'm sitting here on my couch thinking about all the stupid shit I've done while I cry and cry and cry about nothing.
I want a distraction but you deleted my photos...
I need someone to numb my pain for a little while. Someone to talk to and they won't judge me for me. Nobody is answering but I'll keep listening to Shake Me Down until I take out the gun from my closet.

It's Alright
I'll wake up one day with my heart intact because he'll help me fix it. I'll get up and look out my porch to the sea with my tattooed fingers and a cigarette in hand. It'll be my last one because I'll share it with myself. To live this life free of my stress. Not worry about money or college. I'm truly happy to be alive with everything intact.
With true friends that I've found .
With my writing.
With me.
Love is simple until you make it complicated. Life is complicated but it's your job to find the simplicity. It's your duty not to worry.
I'll be grateful until...

Stay High
I curl my hair and I love my burns. I put on my bloody lipstick and head out the door to forget about you. I'm ready for the day to end. These people just know the taste of my tongue, not the taste of my past. Opening up to people is useless after you left, they'll leave too. I'll be their one night stand just to numb the pain you left.
I like my enablers.
I'll inhale all the poison from their lungs and breathe it out into my reflection. She was a sweet girl.
So sweet.
This was inspired by a song. It's called Habits.

I Avoid Romance
Because it reminds me of what we had and what we'll never be.

Your Lips
I know what I said but I'm still stuck on you. All I've ever wanted was you but you said not anymore. I'd wait a thousand lifetimes if it meant I had a chance with you again.
None of them compare.
I don't care about them like I do about you. You're the first one I trusted with all of me.
Please, come back.

Scratching Photographs
All is said and done, I'm here waiting by my lonesome. You were too careless with your feelings so I said what you thought.
But guess what? I've got a date this weekend and it's not with you...
It won't ever be with you again.

Give Me Pills
Give me acid or ecstasy, anything to free my mind of everything. I don't care of my physical being anymore, I want to feel the paranoia and the buzz. There's never been a better time than right now when my mind is most active.
Please let me turn it off for a few hours, it's too unbearable now.

Electrical Tape
I'm trying to tape our hands and our love together, but....
You have to do it too.

What Now?
You've caused me a lot of pain and sadness but I was still your friend and I expected you to move on, like I almost did. With you once again we try to figure out the mistakes we've made. We needed this time apart but I've grown used to the fact that you left me. I'm happy but yet there's something else inside the mood. I'm scared to death that it's love.
I couldn't bear it again, I'm scared I'll love you too much.
I couldn't bear it again, I'm scared I'll love you too much.
