Almost
Why is it that
Whenever you look at her
Your smile widens
And covers your whole face?
All this time
I thought I was the only one
But now I realize
That I am the only one
Who can't make you smile like that
You don't even look at me
And when you do
It's not at me
But through me
Almost like you're ashamed of me
Almost
Am I an embarrasement to you?
Because I feel like I am
Do the things that I do
Make you uncomfortable?
Do they make you want to stay away?
You have so much fun
But only when...
Whenever you look at her
Your smile widens
And covers your whole face?
All this time
I thought I was the only one
But now I realize
That I am the only one
Who can't make you smile like that
You don't even look at me
And when you do
It's not at me
But through me
Almost like you're ashamed of me
Almost
Am I an embarrasement to you?
Because I feel like I am
Do the things that I do
Make you uncomfortable?
Do they make you want to stay away?
You have so much fun
But only when...

Life's Sequence
Confusion, Pain, Suffering - Life
Fun, Tears, Hurt - Love
Breath in
Breath out
Stop breathing
Die
Let out everything
That you're holding inside
Climb
Fall
Break both of your legs
Hope never to fall on your head
Use your arms to lift you up
Use your pain to fill your cup
When you finally love
Make it last
Enjoy every part of it
It will soon be a thing of the past
Forgive
But never forget
Not to hold a grudge
But because it's merely impossible
...

Baby Steps
Why do they call it heartbreak
When the rest of my body hurts too?
Why do the lies and the pain you cause
Bring me closer to you?
How come I don't mind
The chronic headaches throughout the day
The ones caused by the tears
That I produce regularly?
I say that the arguments we have
And the many problems that flourish
Make us stronger and the relationship more supported
Every time we talk
I fall a little harder
Every time we hug
I just want to hug tighter
I love it when you embrace me
In your arms when I'm tired
And hold my...

In Need Of Comfort
I've been sitting here for hours
Avoiding studying for a test
But I finished all of my homework
Just like you said
I'm not sure what I'm doing here
All I can do is refresh
Refresh the page
And look at these updates
That aren't telling me anything
I'm eating dinner now
It tastes pretty gross
But only because I'm not really hungry
And only want to talk to you
I'm sorry if it seemed
Like I was being pushy and asking too much
When I asked you to put an I in front of the Love
I take it back :)
I don't want you to say it anymore...

Religious Thinking
I believe in God
But that doesn't necessarily mean
That I'm going to Heaven
I pray to him sometimes
But I don't feel welcome in his haven
Will he punish me for that?
For being a "Heathen", as everyone calls me
Will he not allow me into Heaven
Just because I can't go to church easily?
I can tell you nothing about the Bible
I have no clue who Matthew is
Or just about anyone for that matter
How am I supposed to teach my kids?
How will they feel
Whenever they can't come to their mother?
When I tell them
"I don't know,...
But that doesn't necessarily mean
That I'm going to Heaven
I pray to him sometimes
But I don't feel welcome in his haven
Will he punish me for that?

Just because I can't go to church easily?

Fresh Start
So I guess we're good now
Because I can't stop smiling
Nothing can make me break it
Not even my favorite dog dying
I will be better
At least try to anyways
I'll become stronger with my emotions
I won't cry all throughout the day
I won't take your jokes
Into consideration
I won't get jealous of those girls
My tears will go away like evaporation
Because you told me that I'm your world :D
I choose to believe you
Because I'm in too deep of love not to
I trust you
Even though we've both proven
Not to be trustworthy at times...
Because I can't stop smiling
Nothing can make me break it
Not even my favorite dog dying
I will be better

I'll become stronger with my emotions
I won't cry all throughout the day

I choose to believe you

Time Will Tell
If it's one piece of information
That I can swear is true
I'd swear on my life and the moon
That I love you :)
But if it's one thing I can say
That I wish was different
I'd say our relationship
And the conditions we're thriving in
Sure I used to cut
And yeah you were part of the reason
But just because you helped me stop
Doesn't mean I also stopped thinking
Suicide and pain
Rushed through my mind like wild fires
It actually went away in July
But it started to creep it's way back like mall flyers
The ones that float from the sky...
That I can swear is true
I'd swear on my life and the moon
That I love you :)

The Library Cries
I'm leaving...
Mom, I love you
Dad, You too
But I think it's time for me to go
I had a birthday this month
It was perfect :)
The cake was nasty as hell though
Field trip happened too
Carlos came...
We had fun...
Yeah ummmm....
If you haven't realized
This is my goodbye
I'm no longer wanted
By the one I thought would love me forever
I'm not going to chase him around
I'm not going to be that girl
I've refused to cut
No matter how tempted
I even promised...
But not all promises can be kept ...

This isn't really a poem
But I have no other way
To let him know
That I love him
Because I'm on restriction again
So I'll say it repeatedly
And pray that he believes me
Because it's the only thing
That will help me sleep at night-
For him to know that I love him
And to know that he feels the same for me
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Insomnia
As I sit on this cold wooden stool
Way past my curfew
I wonder
What am I still doing here?
How come months ago, I didn’t leave you?
Love is complicated
Don’t tell me that it isn’t
I swear what I feel is love
But then again, Is it?
I’ve been alive longer that you have
But you seem to know a lot more than I do
It’s just a 3 month difference
But shouldn’t I be the one guiding you?
I’m such a lost puppy
And I hate to admit it
But I guess it’s better to tell the truth
Instead of lying and having to keep up with it ...

Wrong Baggage Claim
It turns out that I'm not as liked
As I thought I was
I thought that the friends I claimed
Were truthful
But I was obviously wrong
Everything is changing
Friendships are ending
Lies are becoming more abundant
And so is my desire for pain
Not pain towards others-
But to myself
The feeling of adrenaline running through my veins
And the thought of them bursting makes me lose my breath-
Makes me want more of the world-
Want things that the world can't give me
Why my friends are no longer who I thought they were
I have no idea
But...

Saying Goodbye
The day we say goodbye
Will be the day my tears flow forever
Flow like a river down a narrow path-
But on my face
The laughs we shared
The trouble we got into
We were truly sisters forever
You were there through it all
The good times and the bad
Together we were a great team
It's just too bad we have to leave
And follow our own dreams
Will be the day my tears flow forever
Flow like a river down a narrow path-
But on my face
The laughs we shared
The trouble we got into
We were truly sisters forever
You were there through it all
The good times and the bad
Together we were a great team
It's just too bad we have to leave
And follow our own dreams
