Loving you was like pouring random pills in a bottle
and swallowing the first five that came out
I was never into drugs
but you were my addiction
And my mother warned me about toxins
But loving you was worth a heart attack.

Disclaimer: This is a little quick poem I wrote as an exercise from my poetry adviser. Enjoy!

Do you like being a failure?
Do you want to be stupid?
Your sisters could do this in their sleep
Yet eyes wide open you're still daydreaming
You need to be perfect Lyne
The world isn't ideal Lyne

You will never make a career out of your voice
You need to study
Put your face in the damn book, maybe it'll imprint on your skin
Don't put print on your skin
Tattoos are made for hoodlums
You're not a junkie
Your father and I came...

font=Courier New]He called me beautiful as if my name was to hard to remember
He called me it so often I would tend to forget my actual identification
We would have fights about who loves who more
as if it were the only way to prove it

At 12 he would wake me, as if he planned it and ask me how I was
As if being without him for even a second was harmful
And it was
And he knew it
And he still knows it

His voice became my inner consciousness
I fell as if my life depended on it,
and by golly I hoped he would catch me

My hands are...
