The Full Story
I was a young and innocent creature.
Then came Charlie.
He showed me my other side, the one I learned to love.
But then we got too attached and I lost myself in him.
Then I met Kevin.
He made me realize who I am when I'm in love. He broke the innocence and I'm glad for that.
Then somewhere along the way of getting over him, I met Jack.
He showed me that I could be one of those happy girls. But then once he got a taste, he left.
Charlie is in the Navy now and I'll always wait for him.
Kevin never loved me but I forgive...

Whenever I See You
I think of how you held me with your arms. I watch the lips that used to kiss me. I look as you look away, as if looking at me will turn you to stone.
Ignore me. It's ok.
I still love you, and him. It's a curse of mine really. No matter how much pain you give me I will always forgive you.
I heard you're sleeping with someone else.
Was it that easy? Throwing me away and deleting my face?
Its only a rumor, but still.
I keep saying I've moved on but whenever I see your face I die inside, just a little.
Enough to write this.

Mob Daughter
I learned from my mother to never show mercy to them. I thought she was too harsh, until I gave them the advantage to break me.
I carry a knife everywhere I go, just in case they show my peeled skin on their faces.
I broke my chains and became the martyr of your life.
To truly live, you need to die.

X
Last night I was marked with an X on my hand. Then I got offered pizza by the band. This place is beautiful, so dirty and dark. People were people, it didn't matter who you were.
You just wanted to listen to the best music on earth.
This is a utopia.
This is my place in heaven.
Where marking you with an X means you live, not die.

The Girl
I never thought I'd be the girl that would hang out in dirty places where people smoked herbs and sniffed happiness into their nostrils. The one with black nails and red lipstick and a constant laugh that hid all the dead people in her life. The one who stopped believing in a God that took away her family and she would have some gin with her coffee, London Dry. The one who rebelled against society even though she is a part of it. She would cry in her closet but she would be happy because being sad meant being alive and the world she's in demands a brainless drone to cram in useless...

It's Always Been You
Come on, no goodbye kiss?", you said while I almost slapped your cute face.
"Oh...do you love him?", you texted me while I quietly said no.
Loving you is a difficult thing to do.
Living is even harder without you.
I'm actually crying over you.
No one will ever be you...
It's always been you, I always come back to you for a reason but I don't want to say I love you.

Navy Girl, You Look So Sad
I knew what was coming but I let myself forget. You enlisted and I tried not being upset...but every time we got together you just...
We text and it's a game we play of who cares less and you always win. I want to see myself through your eyes, am I the stupid girl I think I am? In two days you're gone but you'll visit, you just won't visit me...
Will you think of me while you fly those planes?
Will I be the girl who waits for her guy to come back after boot camp?
No, because you're not mine.
But I will always belong to you.
Every time you're here,...

Don't Let Me Die
I have this fear,
irrational you might say
that I will die one day
Not years from now,
but in the days to come.
I'll bleed my last blood
and not be judged
This fear I tell you
It's quite uncommon
Everyone lives until they hear him calling...
So I'm actually scared to death that I'm going to die the next few days...
Or maybe I'm scared my writing will die with me.

My Neighbors Are Complaining About My Music
I'm sitting here on my couch thinking about all the stupid shit I've done while I cry and cry and cry about nothing.
I want a distraction but you deleted my photos...
I need someone to numb my pain for a little while. Someone to talk to and they won't judge me for me. Nobody is answering but I'll keep listening to Shake Me Down until I take out the gun from my closet.

It's Alright
I'll wake up one day with my heart intact because he'll help me fix it. I'll get up and look out my porch to the sea with my tattooed fingers and a cigarette in hand. It'll be my last one because I'll share it with myself. To live this life free of my stress. Not worry about money or college. I'm truly happy to be alive with everything intact.
With true friends that I've found .
With my writing.
With me.
Love is simple until you make it complicated. Life is complicated but it's your job to find the simplicity. It's your duty not to worry.
I'll be grateful until...

Stay High
I curl my hair and I love my burns. I put on my bloody lipstick and head out the door to forget about you. I'm ready for the day to end. These people just know the taste of my tongue, not the taste of my past. Opening up to people is useless after you left, they'll leave too. I'll be their one night stand just to numb the pain you left.
I like my enablers.
I'll inhale all the poison from their lungs and breathe it out into my reflection. She was a sweet girl.
So sweet.
This was inspired by a song. It's called Habits.

I Avoid Romance
Because it reminds me of what we had and what we'll never be.
