mommy
i don't understand why you
won't leave,
you're not happy
you say it's stress,
and love
but you're afraid to be on your own,
and i can't keep forgiving you

update
i am glad you cut your hair finally,
and i'm glad you no longer burn
but there was a time when you
smiled
without tucking your lips in,
and you didn't smoke (as much)
and you didn't get angry
and you knew yourself like the
back of your own hand
and i'm glad you no longer burn
but there was a time when you
smiled
without tucking your lips in,

still
never would i have thought
that just simply
seeing
your name would make me feel so
weak
never would i have thought
that this feeling
of anxiety, would come back
just because of you

neighbor boy
i don't know what i got myself into
but it's hard to look
at you
and it's hard to see a good side
to the end of this

at you

that lie
we get lost in people that
we see
ourselves in, but never do we
show any bit of ourselves to them
because we're all just suicidal kids
telling one another that
suicide
isn't the answer
we see
ourselves in, but never do we
show any bit of ourselves to them
because we're all just suicidal kids
telling one another that
suicide
isn't the answer

eight months
243 days
i spent
regaining
my happiness and
refusing
to let anyone
new in
243 days
i spent
counting
the seconds
minutes
hours
until the sun
came up again
and i knew
it wasn't over
and i knew that
it would be hard
but i knew
that i
could
go
on

the apology
i'm sorry that
i never
understood
certain things
about you
i'm sorry that
i never was
able to
tell you
what was wrong
i'm sorry that
it was hard
for me to trust
you,
or anyone
i'm sorry that
i made you
stay
because i couldn't
take being alone
i'm sorry for
being so
stubborn
with you
i'm sorry that
i never, truly
opened up
with you
i'm sorry that
i lied a few
times, or
at all
i'm sorry that
i wasn't
always
there for...

every night
you tell me
the same
thing
but
every night
i tell you something
different
something opposite
tonight
you looked at me with
those sad eyes
and told me
you didn't want to
live any longer
but this time
i couldn't disagree

filthy
i returned to this
filthy
house and you
weren't even home.
i called you twice,
maybe even three times
but of course
you didn't answer.
i just sat
and lied on this
filthy
couch that was
probably never clean
to begin with.
i just waited
i told myself,
'she will be home soon'
or
'she will call back soon'
and i heard that
filthy
creak as the door
swung open and
you rushed in
so quickly to apologize.
but you only gave
me one
filthy
reason to forgive...

the day before
it was
a day
before thanksgiving
i saw you for
what felt like the
first time
you told me it was
exhilarating
to have my fingers
run across your skin
we dropped you off
at one in the morning
and at one in the
afternoon the next day
i drank away the
pain
that lingered from
seeing you
the day
before
thanksgiving
