A Breakup from The Phone's Perspective

She sent you a message
Lots of emojis, not as many hearts as usual
Send that message?

New message from Her: 8:02 am
No emojis this time

New message from Her: 8:05 am
That's a paragraph
She's typing again
Another paragraph
You haven't typed for awhile so I'm going to sleep
*bzzz*
New message from Her: 9:33 am
She seems upset
Tell her you're busy?

My Copper Queen
If I could have One thing
And you are Everything
Your deep blue pools in alabaster land
The molten copper cascade
Every inch of your heaven's my paradise
Engraved in the heart of my eyes
Fire over the pure white
The envious sun is jealous of your light
Like Icarus I was too close to you
Now I'm too far away
But for one glorious second
Everything was your beauty
Its' not my land anymore
A lady-less vassal
I'm just
Lost
And you are Everything
Your deep blue pools in alabaster land
The molten copper cascade
Every inch of your heaven's my paradise
Engraved in the heart of my eyes
Fire over the pure white
The envious sun is jealous of your light
Like Icarus I was too close to you
Now I'm too far away
But for one glorious second
Everything was your beauty
Its' not my land anymore
A lady-less vassal
I'm just
Lost

Clown Faces
Livin in a world, bound to go a little crazy
But you wake up and paint on the face that they see
People can be cruel and do cruel things
Day after day you hear them, making people feel down
And behind every happy face is a frown.
Some of us can't hide it with our clownlike makeup
So we go to extremes: tape and knives and we carve our face up into the picture of happiness we've always dreamed up.
Eventually you begin liking who you are
With our carved smile and made up face
And it scares people the way we've become
Why should we apologize...
