HYPOcrisy .It's normal.

Conceit; it tastes like broken things like flies on paper and chipped teeth Unless you've begun to chew off your tongue Then it tastes like peppermint On occasion we stick straws in our pores just to suck out our own piss and to wallow in lack of empathy We spit it out again hoping that someone will slip Suck up and down with gum-filled mouths Don't worry; no one saw you look foolish

tragedies.

you deserve all the cobweb dreams, fairytale hopes, and explosive love in the world, but i know that i will never be the one to give them to you. you need notes that end with 'ps - you're brighter than twenty-seven silver stars'. i can't bring myself to write them, though. it's not like you'd read them, anyway. i cut out paper hearts and dreams and gave them to you, but you only ripped them up and said 'these aren't good enough.' when i painted you a picture of golden skies and sunshine smiles, you handed it back and told me 'next time, paint realistically.' so i wrote you a story filled of starless nights and hopeless d

reasons you should listen.

i. because you are the reason i want to give up sometimes. because i'll never be as wonderful as you, and i feel like a piece of nothing compared to you. but you are the one holding my hand and pushing me forward, gently, and suddenly, you are the reason i keep trying. ii. because i don't speak often. because this is a piece of me i'm afraid to show. iii. have you ever felt like giving up? like you're the gum stuck on someone's shoe, and they only want to be rid of you? have you ever broken down just because it feels like no one cares? because if you ever do, i'll be there for you. i promise. iv. because i need yo

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

paint.

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

you.

I'd say you remind me of a flower but to do so would be an injustice when I pick flowers, they die- you've only shown me how to live.

Je t'aime

There is firewood where my bones should be, and wires in my veins pumping electricity and everytime we talk my heart heats up and I've never felt a flame this warm.

first kiss

I will be the rolling waves, and you can be the sandy shore I'll kiss with salty lips, and then keep coming back for more
