Maggie: "On the outside she was holding herself together.. but.. it looked like she was dying on the inside"
Jody: "I asked her what was wrong and she claimed she was okay"
Maggie: "She wouldn't say anything and the one time she tried to talk.. she almost burst into tears and ran.."
Jody: "She stayed to watch our game.. but walked around a little and disappeared in the woods.."

Trust?
I'm your girlfriend..
Yet you trust her
more than me.
She's just your friend.
I trust you with everything
so why can't you do the same?
You say it's because i'll get mad.
But you've never tried
so you are either thinking
that's what will really happen.
Or lieing to me about something.
I know about your past.
It's not the best
but i didn't get mad.
What makes me mad and hurt
is how you trust her
more than you will ever trust me...
Yet you trust her
more than me.
She's just your friend.
I trust you with everything
so why can't you do the same?
You say it's because i'll get mad.
But you've never tried
so you are either thinking
that's what will really happen.
Or lieing to me about something.
I know about your past.
It's not the best
but i didn't get mad.
What makes me mad and hurt
is how you trust her
more than you will ever trust me...

You lost your chance
You lost your chance
and i'm not running back
to you.
You try to act like it
never happened but
we all know it did.
I have him. not you.
He is amazing
you aren't.
He never ignored me
or meant to hurt me.
To me, that's all i
think you did.
I loved him
and he returned
that love.
You just crushed
it right in
front of me and
blew me off.
If you want
another chance
i will tell you
right here
right now
that you will
never get it,
never.
Why?
because he
treats me right...

I don't understand....
The pain in my chest
and my heart.
it hurts so bad.
Like someone hit me
there with a hammer.
i can't breathe.
I keep crying
and i can't stop.
No matter what i
do i always fail you.
My head hurts
i feel dizzy
my throat burns.
Why make me choose?
Of course between
you, the person i love,
and doing something i love
i'd choose you..
but... why couldn't i do both?
Long distance relationship..
If i got to do what i want..
You'd only not be able to talk
to me from 3:30 to 5:30
two hours... only three days ...

my love for you
My love for you is simply beautiful
Different, wonderful, magical
crazy, hilarious, and insane
Different from all my other boyfriends
You're sweet, insane, caring, talented,
Smart, and handsome
You care about my feelings
More than you care about my looks.
Sweet by the things you say and
How you hold me, hug me, and kiss me.
Insane and far from normal but
that's one of the things I love most
About you.
Talented by all that you do
you play the trumpet and many
other instruments. You get good
grades. You write songs and
Poetry....

Falling in love.
Falling in love
Is easy to do.
As long as the
Person
Also chooses
You.
Love cannot only go
One way.
It has to come from the
Other way too.
Love is a simple word
Hard to describe
And we all have that
One person
Who comes to mind
When we hear the word
Love.
Somebody special
Whom we can depend upon.
Some never find it.
Their soul mate
As some call it.
But that doesn’t mean they are
Unloved. ...

Our Love
In the moonlight, shining down
I know tis not my part,
To declare my love to thee
Young as we are
Young, two in love with the other.
Stating that we are together forever
As a plant needs water
fish hath need for water
is my need for you.
As my sunshine to life.
Never depart from my life.
fore without you, life
is as empty as my heart
Love tis glorious, in my eyes
for tis my feelings for thee.
The sparkle in mine eyes

Sorry
I'm hurting all those
who care about
me.
I'm not sure
how
and i'm not trying
to.
But...i always
hurt the people
i care most about.
I'm sad.
No, it is not
your fault.
It's not anyone's
fault
but my own.
Why i'm sad?
not sure.
I just get
depressed and
you can always
tell when i'm
upset.
I wish you couldn't
but you can.
I'm making you
sad, hurting you.
without trying to
making you think
my sadness is your fault
when it's not.
that you are not good enough
when...
who care about
me.

Blank screen. blinnking cursor.
blank screen
blinking
cursor
where to
start?
where to
begin?
What of
my problems
to reveal
next? the
stabbing
mental
pain?
or the
stinging
physical
pain?
The dead
silent
beating
of my
heart.
that comes
alive
everytime
i talk to you.
the mere
thought of you
jump starts
my heart.
blank screen
blinking cursor
what to say?
what to reveal?
never enough
time. never
enough
to give
and don't
know what
to take....

Running
running
from
pain.
and yet
all i
gain is
misery.
tired of
it all.
trying not
to fall.
but i
cannot
recall i time
when i didn't.
nobody there
to catch me.
nobody there
to here my
plea.
running
from who?
or what?
who knows,
it doesn't
matter.
am i running
from people
who hold me
back?
or running from
the ones
who keep me
on track?
from going over
the deep end,
and plunging
into a never
ending sea
of black.
