Tomorrow
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a new day, but it feels like it’s in the past.
I repeat tomorrow
Every day of my life.
Tomorrow is yesterday
And yesterday is today.
Nothing is different.
Nothing has changed.
I used to wake up smiling.
Because I’d have a text to look forward to.
But now I look over and there’s nothing there.
And never again will there be.
I almost feel as if it would've been okay if you didn't care.
And that if we stayed in a routine relationship
At least you’d always be there.
Just like yesterday.
Just like tomorrow....

My Mother, My Baby
Nothing matters anymore
The world has just exploded
I am empty inside
As if my body has just imploded
Cherry sits on my lap
As lifeless as I am
Stiller than my heart seems to beat
She cries silent tears
Hugs her terrible mother
And slowly drifts away from what used to be me
I try to be strong for her
Because now I am the only thing she has
But how can I do that when I've just lost
Everything I had?
I starve now so that she can eat all of what's left
Since I can't bring myself to cook or even look at myself
Cherry has become a...

Scared
Why can't you belive that I'm faithful?
Why do you keep thinking that one of these days
I'm going to get up and leave you?
You insist that you love me more than I love you
Because I'm the only one who's
Tried to hit undo
But in all of these attempts
I never wanted to leave
I just wanted to make sure
You wanted to stay with me
I wanted you to ask me to come back
I wanted to make sure that love
Wasn't something we lacked
But I believe that all of them were a big mistake
Because getting passed them is like
Trying to find a needle...

Robot
Life as I know it
Is about to end
I'm not exactly sure
What changes will occur
But I know that things
Will be very different
In the life of a robot
Nothing will be the same
My face will be different-
Sad and deprived of color of course
My attitude will be different-
Even more depressed than I usually am...
And my speech will be different-
Silenced
I will not speak
Unless I absolutely have to
I will become a person
That no one would think I could become
I will be still and settled
Excitement will never enter

Charity
I can't cook
I hate to clean
I have little to no hobbies
But I love to burn things
I set the kitchen on fire
Back in Colorado
Trying to erase her from my memory
I cut my hair
And burned it in the little glass ashtray
That was never in the same vicinity
I was so horrible to my older sister
I knew that she wasn't normal-
Wasn't up to speed
So I took advantage of her
I made her do things for me
I made her carry me around
I treated her like she was a slave
I never stopped
Because she didn't object
All she'd say was...

Bored
There's nothing to do
And nowhere to go
Restriction ends tomorrow
But it feels like it's everlasting
I don't get my phone
until Saturday morning
But it's not like I have
Anyone to text anyways
I have homework
But it's already 8
And I'm not gonna do it
Homework can wait
I'll do it tomorrow
Maybe
Along with all of my other projects
Possibly
My head hurts so I guess
I'll just do the dishes
And go to bed
Nothing really said here
Just needed to pass the time
Because I'm bored to death
And nowhere to go
Restriction ends tomorrow
But it feels like it's everlasting
I don't get my phone
until Saturday morning
But it's not like I have
Anyone to text anyways
I have homework
But it's already 8
And I'm not gonna do it
Homework can wait
I'll do it tomorrow
Maybe
Along with all of my other projects
Possibly
My head hurts so I guess
I'll just do the dishes
And go to bed
Nothing really said here
Just needed to pass the time

15th
I didn't mean to make a scene
Novemeber 15th
When my dad drug me out of class
Too early
He greeted me with "Hello"
I replied "Bonjour
It's only 1 o'clock
What are you here for?"
He said "I was on this side of town
And I figured you'd be happy
But then I thought again
When I said Madame Chaney,
I figured you'd be crawling
Waiting for your knees to bleed
Mad because Carlos is gone
And now you're sad and lonely."
Then, I said something smart

The Game of Life and Love
Love is a game
That I wish I had never played
Life is a maze
That I wish I had never got stuck in
Reincarnation's supposed to make you change
But I'm the same
And back to you
Is where I can't seem to stop running
Life is a trial
I was told would end soon
But of course
it's just a guitar that's all out of tune
And my makeup is always running from my tears
And I end up looking like a sick raccoon
Love is an avalanche
That suddenly swallowed me whole
Life is sneaky
With a heart as black as charcoal
"I love...

Leaving
Why don't you love me like you used to?
How come in April I became see-through?
Why did my relationship affect ours?
And I had no mother to rely on but the stars?
A bunch of dying wishes
Only some of them coming true
You say I'm useless and hopeless
Painful words- those two
I try ya know
I've been trying for eight years of my life
Just to impress you
To make you happy
But you left again
Because I still wasn't good enough
Were you better than me?
Are you still better than me?
When you came back
I was angry...

Honesty
Please believe me
When I say
I love you so much
And I need you to stay
I feel as if you don't trust me
You don't believe you're the only one
Maybe you consider everything I say
As nothing more than fiction
But I'm telling you the truth
I swear on everything
You're the only one I love
And I really need you to see
I don't care about the past anymore
It's forgotten
Please forget too
Because if we're stuck back there
We'll never make it through
I'm sorry for saying things
That made you feel any less
Than the only one I...

Monster
There's a monster inside of me
It locks away my true beauty
It tells me that I hold the key
To turning everyone into something deadly
It wants me to rule the world as a nightmare
Turning everything dainty into despair
Should I take this challenge and kill man-kind?
Nope. Sorry you devil, you've been declined
It locks away my true beauty
It tells me that I hold the key
To turning everyone into something deadly
It wants me to rule the world as a nightmare
Turning everything dainty into despair
Should I take this challenge and kill man-kind?
Nope. Sorry you devil, you've been declined

Stay or Leave
Why do you insist on leaving?
I barely even see you
You stay so close to me
You feel so far away though
You don't call me anymore
You avoid me when you're over
Did I do something to make
This relationship grow colder?
Thanksgiving or Christmas
You gave me a choice
I can't have them both
So much for having a voice
I chose Christmas at first
And you said you'd be leaving this week
So I changed it to Thanksgiving
How selfish of me
If you want to leave
Who am I to stop you?
Go back to your drugs...
